God Knows What Tomorrow Holds
The weather app keeps changing its mind.Ice — no, rain. Wait — maybe snow.By the time we finish our breakfast, the forecast has already repented twice. And that’s a fair picture of life, isn’t it? We plan. We pencil in expectations. We line up tomorrow with our best guesses. And then — SURPRISE! Roads close.…
The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow
“Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there’ll be sun…” Thanks, Annie. Turns out she was onto something eternal. A brand-new year arrived, but aside from the clock striking midnight, nothing really looked different. The first minute of a new day is just as dark as the last minute of the old one. No fireworks. No…
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…
