Thankful and Grateful
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! I am so thankful for YOU and, above all, so thankful for God’s love and blessings to us all. Carl and I had an early Thanksgiving with his family a couple of weeks ago. And tomorrow my family will be converging in East Texas. Thanksgiving! THIS IS THE DAY…
Allll Aboard — the Joy-of-Life Bandwagon!
Yesterday is gone and THIS IS THE DAY the Lord has made, so let’s be JOY-full and be glad for it! When you’ve had as many DAYS on this earth as I’ve had, you recognize each new day as a blessed day of start-overs, do-overs, rejoice-overs and be-glad-in-it overs. My favorite “life” quote is: “If…
It Happens on this Day
May 6th was on my mind. I checked my calendar – nada, nothing showing except for me working at the family center all day and serving communion at church on Saturday night. There must be something else because I keep thinking I need to blog about whatever it may be. Still nothing. So, I googled…
Bah Humbug!
That expression is well-known as the catchphrase of miserly old Ebenezer Scrooge, the main character in Charles Dickens’ 1843 novel, “A Christmas Carol.” Scrooge, who thinks Christmas is an enormous deception, retorts, “Bah!

My sister (more than the sis-in-law she really is) and I frequently have long “catch-up” telephone conversations. She is beyond being a “trooper”. I want to clarify that word “trooper”. She is exactly what the dictionary says she is. Other than being a soldier or police officer, it means “someone willing to participate in difficult…
Mindset Reset
Very early Tuesday morning, I made my way home from Austin to the monthly luncheon of the Republican Women of Greater North Texas. here in Frisco. I was motivated. I regularly attend, but this one especially caused me put the “pedal to the metal”. My daughter, Staci Wallace, was the guest speaker. More than being…
This is the Day the Lord has Made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it! (Psalm 118:24)I sing this scripture as a song and I use it in expressing my gratitude. It’s not unusual to read it as a text message when a friend or loved one has a birthday. I say “This is the day the Lord made you and I’m…
