Getting Connected
When I was a widow traveling alone between Tulsa and Austin, I made sure jumper cables were in my auto’s emergency kit. I only used those cables just a couple of times. Amazing what one can do, when they are the only one who is there to do it! As many know, the answer for…
How’s it Going with Filling in the Blanks?
We had a sweet get-together with my Ryan and Shawntel a couple of days ago. It was to fill in the blanks of our lives. The ones we’ve missed because of our busy schedules. Both couples have been so busy we have only spoken in occasional phone calls or text messages. That just wasn’t enough…
Time for Boxing
Christmas Day was special for us at Epiphany Ranch, and then the day after, the 26th, after a yummy brisket lunch, we headed home to celebrate Christmas with our Canadian family members who have been here celebrating our American holiday traditions. Them being here reminds me of Canada’s statutory holiday on December 26th called Boxing…
This Just Wasn’t MY Plan
What happens when our intentions, our goals, or our plans goes awry? “This isn’t what I (or we) planned!” How well I remember that place of feeling stuck. Our lives were not going the way we had planned. Although it was always the greatest desire of our hearts to trust the Father completely, trusting wasn’t…
Loving from the Inside Out
I’m a morning person by choice. I’m up and at ‘em at 4am or 5am and posting my blog. I know that I am an anomaly to those who have late-sleeping patterns. I’ve been up for a while when our continental breakfast bar is open at 8 am. Yesterday, I went over to grab something…
Close Encounters of the Best Kind
I’m a storyteller and the best story I tell is about the very up close and personal encounter I had with Jesus when I was just eight years old. I never get tired of sharing it. It’s a short story and to the point. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was just eight…
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.…
The Bright and Morning Star
I apologize right up front for another sky-view blog. I can’t seem to help myself. I think I’ve officially become an earth-moon-sun- star-gazer! I blame it on God Who keeps awing me every morning. I’m grateful I have His attention, because it would be misery to face blogging every day and wondering “What is there…
When We Allow God to Fill in the Blanks
One of my friends recently posted that she was well underway with filling in the blanks on her 2019 calendar. She must accomplish this feat because she has three children and with getting them to school and to their music and voice lessons, sports practices and games, as well as her own responsibilities as a…
