I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
Today, March 5th, is Primary Election Day here in Texas. I am up and at ‘em to head to my polling location where I’ll be working from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. tonight. I am stoked. I can’t begin to convey how patriotic I feel about being a part of this process. There will…
Listening for His Voice Matters
My Canadian cousin was here in Austin last week so I missed seeing him because Carl and I were on our honeymoon. We made it home late Sunday night and early Monday morning we were both headed to the election polls where we serve in this Early Voting election process. So, we never could connect…
It’s Sizzlin’ in the South
I read that more than 30 million people remain under heat advisories across much of the southern and central U.S. Officials have linked at least 13 deaths to the heat wave. The near-record temperatures are being driven by a weather phenomenon known as a heat dome — when pockets of hot air become trapped in…
Learning to Dance — Whatever the Weather
Within 12 hours our temperature dropped 30 degrees.

Where Oh Where is Donna?
Yesterday, someone I just met said, “So where do you live?” It was the first time I needed to explain this season of my life. So I said, “Well, I fly by the seat of my pants, so wherever I land!” LOL! So, here’s the way I roll. I do my best to trust that…
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…
Sometimes Life Gives You a 360
I was born in Dallas, Texas “a few” years ago! LOL! Then our son and daughter were born there, too. That makes us Texans through and through. When my Canadian husband, myself and our two children left Dallas in 1971 for Oklahoma, who knew there would be a “coming back home” someday — at least…
