Time for an Intermission
I am well acquainted with intermissions — at our Austin Symphony Orchestra’s recent event, the broadway musical that was hilarious AND serious, and this will date me — the outdoor drive-in theaters. We could get a snack or have a restroom break or just to simply have a good ole’ stretch. I’ve had my fair…
Worship = Blessings
I promise — just one more thought about the Wise Men! What amazes me most about their story is this: after worshiping the newborn King, “…being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.” (Matthew 2:12). That verse carries two powerful truths. First,…
Our Surrendered Feet
I’ve shared before about my morning routine of sending early morning text messages to my children every day. Now, I’ve added on that early morning routine a “group” text message to my grandchildren. Those text messages are intentional. I want my children, (including spouses) and grands, to know they are in my heart and on…
Staying in Step with our Father
I know some really good “steppers”. They seem to succeed at just about everything they set their steps toward. I heard a good old boy once remark “Ain’t no step for a stepper!” He was challenging someone to go for the dream they had but were discouraged by what it would take to make it…
The Steps of a Good Man Are Ordered by the Lord
I send an early morning text message to my children every day. Yesterday, I texted my son: “’The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and He delights in his way.” Psalm 37:23. I went on to say: “I love this scripture because it describes you and how God delights in the…
Here We Are to WORSHIP
Here I Am to Worship My word of the day is: WORSHIP — the feeling or expression of reverence, adoration, exaltation, honor for God (the dictionary says for a diety, but in my case – the only ONE who deserves WORSHIP is our ONE TRUE GOD). This morning my Christmas season is officially over as…
Worship = Blessings
I can’t resist – one more post about the Wise Men. Last Sunday (the celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord), Father Brian O’Brien who is the President of Bishop Kelly High School in Tulsa, gave a most beautiful explanation of the magi’s visit to the Holy Family. What stood out to me the most…
Flying By the Seat of My Pants = Kisses From Heaven
Missing my home church service yesterday morning because of timing, I headed out for Texas. It was a spendidly gorgeous day with the sun shining so brilliantly. I was bound and determined to attend service somewhere, and as it turned out, the timing was perfect for me to stop in Durant, OK. Durant has a…
