Who is YOUR Someone?
Who is YOUR Someone?President Ronald Reagan coined the phrase: “We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.” That quote speaks volumes to me when I think about the “someones” that might have passed my way, literally….passed, without me giving them a second thought. I might have been so caught up in my own little…
Rest for our Weary Souls
I’m here at Children’s Hospital and a young mom with a special-needs child in a stroller along with two kids in tow, one of which has a break or fracture in her arm. I offer to push the stroller for her to the fracture clinic so she can attend to the injured one. She is…
This is What Seed-Time and Harvest Looks Like
These lovely ladies sat beside me at a wonderful luncheon fundraiser for the women’s ministry outreaches yesterday. As we visited, Ann, on the left, told me she and her husband were part of the first twelve people who started meeting to worship God together twenty-two years ago in just a small building in downtown Frisco.…
She’s a Looney Toon
Remember those wacky, wild, half-witted Looney Tunes characters? We laughed at their shenanigans who seemed to always be getting into some kind of trouble. They gave us plenty of comedy relief. We often think the same thing of overzealous Christians. They are the ones who are standing on a street corner waving a “Jesus is…
I Wish You Knew
This day, eight years ago, began with the routine we had become accustomed to after eleven months of doctors’ appointments, six surgeries, many treatments, infusions, pain management and a host of other daily activities. Each day was a new day with hope and great expectations for conquering the events of the day, without being conquered…
Trust Me — I Have a Purpose Here!
I know that with all the “He said. She said. They said.” craziness in the news, and even with those folks close to us, it makes us wonder “Who CAN we trust these days?” We think, “If that reputable, above-reproach guy or gal that I held in such high esteem could be caught in an…
What Do You Do When Bad News Breaks Your Heart?
When Your Heart is Breaking — Then What? I sincerely ask God to give me the words I should provide in my daily posts, and today, I was compelled to share these words. Just maybe, your heart is breaking because of a recent tragedy in your life and you don’t know if you’ll survive the…
Turn on De-Light!
When I think about God’s goodness to me I think about Psalm 37:4 “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” That reminds me of our daughter, Staci — when she was living at home, she pleaded with her Dad for a dog, but because she was so…
Trust Me — I Have a Purpose Here!
With all the “He said. She said” craziness in the news, it makes you wonder “Who CAN we trust these days?” How many times do we get sold a bill of goods and the goods are faulty, broken, or dysfunctional, yet we keep going back to the same merchant or using the same service provider?…
What Medicine Do You Take?
If you’re like me, your medicine cabinet has just about everything you need in it for the common cold, headache, cuts, scrapes, bug bites, sunburn, tummy ache, etc. I’ve got aspirins, ointments, sprays, oils, ice packs, heating pads to help conquer the ailments at any given time. Yesterday morning, while getting ready for my day,…
