Living in the Peace Zone
I’m dragging out my imaginary pulpit today — just a little nudge for anyone needing a soul boost. Whether you stop by my blog daily or drop in when your heart needs a lift — this one’s for you. If I were an athlete — and life sometimes feels like a daily match –I’d be…
I saw this vehicle in Hobby Lobby’s parking lot. I’m sorry I saw it then and I apologize for showing it to you now. But this scene propelled me into my annual rant. Ghosts, goblins, zombies, witches, and Halloween paraphernalia that “haunt” us are everywhere – in stores and yards this time of the year.…
A few days ago, I wrote about my “sanctuary” where I find sweet peace and rest. That’s my “sweet spot”. Jesus said to His disciples “Come away with me and rest awhile” (Mark 6:31). Did you know when all around us seems to be chaos that we can “Lie down in green pastures so our…
I am in my sweet spot. I have all my family together here in Austin, and if that weren’t enough, Shawntel’s family is here too! I said, yesterday, that my blogs about graduation had come to an end since Brennan’s graduation commencement was last night. Today I am talking about the aftermath of graduation! The…

Let the love of Jesus shine in all you do. Let your faith do the walking and the Spirit do the talking. Let His Word come alive and…
I’m here in my sweet spot – with my two youngest grandsons while their dad and mom are away for a few days. The oldest here — the handsome dude — Monday chapel requires ties and jackets. Be still my heart! The youngest is home schooled so I get to step up and be his…
Yesterday morning, it wasn’t that cold outside but the winds and heavy rain beckoned me to the warmth from my fireplace. It is definitely my “sweet spot”. In this busy, hectic, and noisy world we live in, there are just times when we need to find a quiet place for our souls to be soothed…
“I would appreciate any positive prayers or scripture verses you could send my way.” Those were the words that I saw on a friend’s Facebook post yesterday. This sweet gal has had some very rough times, so I was quick to give her a couple of my favorite scriptures and a prayer, but when I…
