Faithfulness and Forever Love
Our weekend in Tulsa was a walk through memory lane — and a celebration of God’s unwavering faithfulness. The highlight of our visit was witnessing my godson’s sister, Grace, marry the love of her life. Grace — a beautiful name — and what a picture of God’s grace Saturday turned out to be. The ceremony…
Patience, Muffins, and a Soul Recharge
Before our trip to Tulsa, I took my car to the dealership for my 45,000-mile checkup. “It’ll take about two hours,” they said. Perfect, I thought — time for a little quiet, a complimentary blueberry muffin (bless them), and some writing time with my laptop. I found a cozy corner, coffee beside me, and settled…
Friends in High (and Tulsa) Places
Yesterday, Carl and I made the road trip to Tulsa — my old stomping grounds for over 40 years — to hug the necks of dear friends who’ve walked some of life’s winding roads with me. Oh, the memories we rolled back! Weddings, babies, healings, answered prayers, and those precious late-night talks that seemed to…
Blessed to Give – The Gathering Place
While in Tulsa for great granny’s funeral, my granddaughter and I took the time to bask in God’s creation when we explored Tulsa’s “Gathering Place”. We took on the 70-acre, $465 million-to-build, world-class park. The “Gathering Place” began with the George Kaiser Family Foundation and an extraordinary dream to transform 100 acres of Tulsa’s waterfront…
April Showers Bring May Flowers
And life’s clouds, storms and showers can bring many blessings. This blog was inspired by the opportunity to be in Tulsa for several days. Though I have many precious friends and beautiful memories here, this trip came with a specific purpose in mind. That is to be with my 99-1/2 years old mother-in-law while my…
BFFs! I Bring You Tidings of Great Joy!
That’s what I said to my BFFs when I arrived at their home here in Tulsa! Yay! For a few days, I’m back “home” to Tulsa where I have a ton of memories along with a boatload of treasured friends and family that I love so much. Forty years here can sure roll back…
‘We Declare that Mothers are Heroes’
That was The Washington’s Post’s headline yesterday. Other comments from other news organizations said, “In a pivotal year in the legal battle over abortion, crowds estimated at over 100,000 of anti-abortion activists gathered in Washington, D.C., on Friday for the annual March for Life that featured President Donald Trump as the first sitting president to…
Want Something to Celebrate? Celebrate YOU!
I love the saying “The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” When we were kids, we couldn’t count the months and days fast enough until another birthday rolled around. But, the older we get we’d just as soon let the next birthday roll around unnoticed – that is unless…
Jesus Take the Wheel….Please!
I’m home from a quick trip to Tulsa to attend a celebration of a dear 90-year-old friend’s life. I thought I knew this man who had blessed me with such kindness over the years, but not until I saw his talents all around the halls and chapel did I come to know I had not…
I’ve Learned My Lessons About Look Backs
It’s been several weeks since I was able to make my trek back to Tulsa and I’ve missed everything and everyone there, especially Mom and my besties! I’m glad I’m heading there today, even in the rain AND cold! When I moved to Frisco from Tulsa in 2016, I promised God I wouldn’t look back…
