Stuck in a Rut?
The story behind this photo is worth a million words. With my lack of brevity, I could expound on it with that many words, but I won’t. This is my beloved son, Larry Wallace, who assumed he was far enough from the lake as he seeded his pastures, but, unfortunately, he ran over an underground…
Our Hearts’ Compass
You might be asking “My heart has a compass?” Oh, yes it does. Proverbs 3:5-6 says this: “Trust in the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” I love asking young people what their career path looks like.…
Filling in the Blanks
In order to make plans for out-of-town trips this year, we spent quality time placing our activities, appointments, and events on our calendars – Carl, in his Day Timer, and me in my iPhone. We are well underway with filling in the blanks on our 2024 calendars. We must accomplish this task because we have…
Happy Almost Thanksgiving!
I saw this adorable little girl and the version of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, read it, took it to heart, and, whoa-la — my blog for today! Thanks, God, for the inspiration! I love it when I see and hear from Him. I’ve always said, my blogs are for me AND you! Clearly, this verse from…
What is it Like to be You?
We’ve all played “ice breaker” games with a group of people who we may know very little about. It’s a great way to get to know each other in a very open environment. But, instead of the usual questions: “What do you do for fun? What was your most embarrassing moment? What was your favorite…
Letting Go and Letting God
When Carl and I were first getting acquainted at 2022’s November election polling place, he asked where I lived, and I told him about my 55+ community. He remarked: “My daughter is wanting me to sell my home and move into a place like that.” Fast forward……nine months and he is living in THAT community!…
Promise Made. Promise Kept.
Get ready! The upcoming presidential election campaigns are already in “go” mode! AND, they are already making “I promise you, if elected I’ll…….. We’ve all made promises like:“I promise you….for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, till death parts us…..”“I promise you….I’ll never tell your secret….”“I promise you….I’ll be…
I’m So Hungry
I heard someone say that as we were playing a game of Mahjongg. I wondered why they didn’t eat breakfast. Of course, they weren’t hungry as this world knows hungry people who stand on street corners holding a sign that says: “I’ll work for food”. I have just a few more days until the end…
What is it Like to be You?
“Ice breaker” games with an unfamiliar group of people provide us the opportunity to get to know each other. What if this question were asked: “What is it like to be you?” It would depend on how we felt physically, mentally, socially, economically, relationally, and spiritually on that given day. If we felt good –…
LORD, Let Me Let YOU Lead Me!
I was typing yet another blog, when I looked at this mug that sits on my desk. It’s used as a pen and pencil holder. It’s in that spot all the time, but this morning, I saw it and received the message loud and clear. Once again, God was reminding me to let Him lead…
