An All-We-Can-Eat Mindset
Luby’s Cafeteria remains a top pick for me. I get to choose what I want to eat. A couple of weeks ago, I indulged in a Thanksgiving meal in July — turkey, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and green beans. I enjoyed half and saved the rest for later. It felt like a holiday…
Who Do YOU Condemn?
I watched a clip from “The View” program where the co-hosts went down a rabbit trail of condemning Princess Kate with false conspiracy theories. A reporter said: “Shame on you!” Now, the co-hosts are expressing regret after acknowledging that they had misconstrued Princess Kate’s absence, only to find out that she was diagnosed with cancer.…
He Believed in Me
Let me tell you about this man. If He hadn’t believed in me….I would have thrown in the towel during rough patches in my life. Those patches when I was shy, lacking confidence, and weak in faith and hope. If He hadn’t believed in me…I wouldn’t have followed His call on my heart to be…
Flannel Board Jesus or High Tech Jesus?
We saw the new “The Little Mermaid” movie. The film industry has jumped by leaps and bounds since 1989 when the first one was out. I saw an interview with Halle Bailey, the actress who plays Ariel, and heard what she had to do, physically. Helle needed a strong core to film scenes with a…
Training Up a Child in the Way
A new school year starting already? I realized it when, yesterday, my godson’s mom sent me a photo of him all suited up for his first day as a high school senior! Oh my goodness! This summer flew by! My two youngest grands start next week with Brennan as a high school senior too! A…
My Jerry Doll
I saw this precious little girl, the daughter of a dear friend, on my FB feed. Though this angel girl is adorable, it was her doll that caused a flood of memories. It reminded me of my “Jerry” doll. I named him “Jerry” after my new little cousin who I loved so much. And, I…
💐💐Happy Mother’s Day to ALL Women 💐💐
One of my greatest joys in life has been to be a mother….to my own children AND to those God put into my life “to mother”. Nothing is so dear as the results of a hug or a word of wisdom I shared with someone who needed that hug or word. It is so unique…
Celebrating the Greatest Love Story Ever Told
Happy Valentine’s Day! God loves you so much and so do I.I’m thankful for this sweet day of Valentine’s for lovers everywhere! It seems #ValentinesDayChallenge is the trend this year on Facebook. Couples answer questions about their first date, how long they’ve been together, who said I love you first, most sensitive, etc. I’ve gotten…
When All is Said and Done
I’m in Austin visiting my family for several days. I was amused when a friend of theirs visited. She put her hands to her ears when the election came up in conversation. She couldn’t deal with any thought that President Trump could lose the election. I want to shut my eyes and ears too, but…
I Love a Good Love Story
One of our favorite movies was the blockbuster, “Love Story”, with Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw! While I love a good on-screen love-story movie, there is nothing like real life ones. The first chapter of my own love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad…
