He Believed in Me
Let me tell you about this man. If He hadn’t believed in me….I would have thrown in the towel during rough patches in my life. Those patches when I was shy, lacking confidence, and weak in faith and hope. If He hadn’t believed in me…I wouldn’t have followed His call on my heart to be…
Running our Race in San Antonio
We did it! Eighteen of us, including a sweet baby in his stroller, walked, jogged, or ran (in the case of my grandson, Payton, and his buddy, Jaiden, age 14). BTW, Jaiden placed first in his age group. All was to support EMwomen. Nothing to compare to the 26.2 miles and 13.1 marathons Run the…
Don’t You Tell Me God Can’t Do It
Last weekend could not have been more exhilarating and memorable. I rolled back the curtain of many treasured memories that sparked undaunted faith for miracles. Don’t you tell me God can’t answer prayer! I have proof positive from just a couple of days of “raising hallelujahs” for what God has done. Hopefully, I’ll increase your…

BFFs! I Bring You Tidings of Great Joy!
That’s what I said to my BFFs when I arrived at their home here in Tulsa! Yay! For a few days, I’m back “home” to Tulsa where I have a ton of memories along with a boatload of treasured friends and family that I love so much. Forty years here can sure roll back…
Consider Yourself Spurred On
Just after our warm summer morning of pickleball play at my community, we cooled off in the comfort of the huge trees close by. We had several good rounds of competitive play. It felt good to just sit and give kudos to each other for games well played. I love this community. Most are patient,…
Everyone Needs a Little Help Sometimes
Being with my Austin family for several days (and going back on Saturday), I watched everyone pitch in to get a job done around their home. Mama sent boys one way. The dad took over the areas of his expertise and mama put her organization skills to work. And I even played my part. We…
He Made an Unlikely Shift
Shhh!! I’m headed back to Austin. I’m surprising Bryson on his 14th birthday. I know I talk about the youngest the most. After all, he’s my youngest. I’m certain he’s the last. I wouldn’t have gone to Austin last week, were it not for his last football game of the year. I just couldn’t miss…
This is what Love and Life Looks Like
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” (Jeremiah 1:5) Oh, yes, my friends – God isn’t surprised by surprises. In fact, He is delicately, intricately, lovingly, and carefully at work in our mama’s womb from the moment of our conception. And these photos are…
When You See Someone’s Reality and It Jolts You
That moment when you offer a picture of your life so that others on social media might be able to grasp your reality? I know there are those who do that because they need prayer support, encouragement, and some motivation to keep on carrying on. No question, we all need encouragers. Oftentimes, when we think…
