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…
Are We There Yet?
Yes, we are there — in 2022! Side note: No one in this generation will be there to see it, but how cool it will be for those who are alive in 2222! But, I also like the sound of 2022. It came in like a breath of fresh air. And it was fresh air…
Just Thinkin’ About Tomorrow
It is 5:15 am and I am pedaling with a vengeance on the stationary bike in our fitness center. In front of the bike is a large window that I see the reflection of the large TV screen behind me. The weather is on. My eyes deceive me. I see the temperatures as 59, 69,…
No Worries Because God is Still in Control
Dan Cook, a San Antonio sportscaster said: “The opera ain’t over till the fat lady sings.” And the ”fat lady” was a takeoff on Yogi Berra’s line, ”The game isn`t over till it’s over.” What, who or where it came from – I think it can be applied to the election. I think the “fat-lady”…
We Don’t Know What Tomorrow May Bring
On Sunday, one of my co-workers at the polls came in late for work. She had a good excuse. Before her husband passed on, he would make sure he called his mother every Sunday morning. This Sunday, she remembered that and felt very drawn to call her 98-year-old mother-in-law – like her husband had so…
It’s a Brand New Day
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, but this day is the day we have an opportunity to practice recognizing God’s blessings in everything – even in the things we don’t especially like! It’s a big deal to wake up to a new day, because yesterday was the very last day on this earth for…
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…
Living Life as an Exclamation Point!
In the spur of the moment, I hit the road to Austin on Sunday for just a 24-hour stay. What is that about? It’s about living with no regrets and seizing the moments to living my life as an “exclamation point”. I had the opportunity to see my 14-year old grandson pitch nearly his entire…
Christmas Traditions Continue…..With Technology
What precious joys and delights I’ve had with my sweet kids here in Washington! All four of our boys have been home and we’ve savored every moment — from enjoying the sight and sounds of downtown Seattle, Pike’s Place Market, RN-74, visit to see Santa, indulging Nana by seeing “Annie” (yes, all 7 of us…
Jesus, Take the Wheel
Have you ever felt like you’re in one of those hamster wheels going round and round, but getting no where at all? Sort of like one of those stationary bikes — you pedal and pedal, but you don’t move forward, even an inch! At this earth-shaking moment, you have an epiphany, and you realize you…
