Unshakable & Unstoppable
“Masters champion Scottie Scheffler’s faith and focus make him unshakable, and perhaps, unstoppable.” “With Scottie Scheffler’s wife home pregnant, 2024 Masters winner succeeds despite absence of his rock.” Those were the headlines after Scottie became the Masters Open champion on Sunday. Aw! “His faith! His wife!” Words that touch my heart strings! It was a…
Our Recommendations
While out to Sunday brunch with friends, they thanked me for recommending Quik Trip as their Bank of Texas ATM location. They didn’t know about the ATM though she is a Bank of Texas Private Wealth Advisor here in Austin. They were thankful because there are no Bank of Texas banks here. But now they…
Playing with Fire
Still on our honeymoon in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, we are taking it all in! On this night we saw brave people playing with fire. It was a fire show on the beach just after sunset — a sight to behold. How do they keep themselves from being burned? Yikes! U I amuse myself as God…
Count it ALL Joy!
I have ridden some emotional waves in my life. It might have been because of one of my children being very sick or a flat tire or an automobile accident. It might have been that there were expenses that far outweighed the funds to cover them. It might have been the passing of a loved…
WITH GOD — Nothing is impossible
We can count on it! I apologize right up front for this being an almost redundant blog each year on this day. But, each year, I think about what the Lord did, and I can’t help but celebrate. This story is made possible…..only, WITH GOD. Today is the 26th anniversary of my children – Larry…
The Green-Eyed Monster
Do you ever think…..”She is so holy; he is so dedicated to prayer; they are always in such a good mood; they are so filled with God’s Spirit that they light up a room, etc.” I’ll admit that I think those thoughts – especially when a gal shared her testimony this week at our prayer…
How Deep is Your Well?
I sure like it when I can just keep rollin’ on! This blog was inspired by yesterday’s blog where I spoke of our mission fields being right where we are at any given moment. It’s the one-foot square of humble, sacred earth beneath our feet. In other words, where we are is our mission field.…
A Fire. A Journal. A Blessing.
A few days ago, my daughter sent me this text message: “Do you know when the fire in our home was?” Of course, she could ask me that because she knows about my daily journal writing. It’s a routine that I’ve been quite consistent with for decades. I write about significant details of my day,…
Here is that Rainbow I’ve Been Praying For
Yesterday I was listening to the downpour of rain. I knew the outdoor event I was attending would be postponed. But, we had seen the forecast, so it was already planned that the event would resume later in the day when the rain was gone. I thought about this old song: I can see clearly…
Faith, Family, Values, and Determination = Favor and Blessings
On our way back to Dallas from College Station, we stopped in Waco to go to Magnolia Market at the Silos. If you’ve ever watched (and, in my case, addicted to) HGTV’s “Fixer Upper”, you know what Magnolia Market, Chip and Joanna Gaines, their family and their values are about. Chip and Joanna, the stars…
