What WAZE You Down? Are You “Direction” Challenged?
For some time my son, Larry, was encouraging me to use the “free” Waze app on my phone. He told me that it was a much better option than any other GPS system or app. I tried using it but still didn’t trust it when it would take me off the beaten path to get…
LORD, Let Me Let YOU Lead Me!
I was having a sweet time of morning devotion when I looked at this mug that sits on my dining room table. I purchased this mug a while ago as a reminder WHO is supposed to be leading in this “romance” and journey of faith between God and I. This day, I got the message,…
Give Credit Where Credit is Due
I’m big on recognizing blessings aka the favor of God. For example — that parking place close to the door of the store, the unexpected check in the mail, the traffic light turning green before you stop, the sale price on an item we needed. I think that the more I give credit to where…
Trust Me — I Have a Plan….God
My month-long hiatus ended yesterday, and today I’m moving over to the main house to reconnect with my family. What a great day to return to the real world – the newlyweds arrived (grandkids, Braden and Ruth) and oh how sweet it is to catch up with them. After all, I haven’t seen them since…
Where Oh Where is Donna?
Yesterday, someone I just met said, “So where do you live?” It was the first time I needed to explain this season of my life. So I said, “Well, I fly by the seat of my pants, so wherever I land!” LOL! So, here’s the way I roll. I do my best to trust that…
Take the First Step
Martin Luther King said, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” I know what was at the top of those two stairs in the photo. The first set was in my home in Sapulpa, OK that I moved from four years ago. Going…
I Knew Back-to-School Drama
#TBT I Knew Back-to-School Drama! It’s that time of year when kids are getting back to school or going to school for the first time. This photo inspiration from 42 years ago was my two kids’ first day of school — Staci in first grade and Ryan in 3rd. Sweet memories, and, oh my, how…
Are You a Control Freak?
That was our discussion at Life Group last night. After hearing a most compelling message on Sunday about “surrendering our need to control”, it seemed all of us, in one way or the other, realized we just might have some “control” issues. I didn’t think of myself as being a controller until the example was…
Ever Felt Like You Were Banging Your Head Against a Brick Wall…. OR a Glass Window?
While up at our Hyde Park clubhouse on Wednesday, I kept hearing a bird banging into the windows, over and over again. On Thursday, one of my friends sent this text to me: “Drama at the clubhouse today — a female bird keeps flying into the window from the maple tree — male just moving…
Pay ATTENTION!
Goodness gracious! I love my GPS system. They’re so much better than those old folded up maps. Those “Global Positioning Systems” are found in vehicles and on smartphones all over the world. And, I’m so grateful to be here at this time to take advantage of this amazing technology. That gal in the GPS knows…
