Here Come da Judge
Yesterday, I spoke about Flip Wilson and the line he used often in his variety show: “The devil made me do it!” I forgot about another line he often used: “Here come da’ judge.” The Judge, played by Flip, was a stuffy magistrate with black robe and powdered wig. Each segment featured an unfortunate defendant…
A Big Return on our Investment
It is Sunday morning. After a month-long Tour de Texas, it’s good to be back home again – “home” home, and to my church home. I hear: “You’re back!” “Welcome home, Donna!” “We missed you, Donna!” I love those words: “Welcome home!” Can we even fathom what those words meant to the prodigal son when…
The Statue of Liberty: Welcome Home, You Tired and Weary
My youngest 11-year-old grandson, Bryson, was fit to be tied. He wanted to give his birthday present to me before anyone could give theirs. He was so excited as I opened the special box, padded so nicely with the treasure inside. It was this beautiful Statue of Liberty that he just had to have an…

Good Tidings of Comfort and Joy
Four years ago, I came home to Tulsa after spending a beautiful Thanksgiving week in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with my son and his family after a whirlwind previous couple of weeks of decisions to be made, funeral preparations, and all the “to do’s” after my Honey graduated to heaven. Cabo was just what I…
Welcome Home!
Today, November 16th, is the 4th year anniversary of this beautiful man’s promotion to heaven. I say it that way because he fervently believed this life on earth, is just our internship for what we were created to do, and be, in heaven. I know he’s on assignment there, as we are all on assignment…
