An Upside Down World
Well, at least that’s the vantage point of this little guy! And, from my vantage point, it seems this world is upside down, even when we’re right side up! Get ready! Get set! GO!!!! I say that as a lead to what we are about to eat and hopefully digest as the upcoming November election…
Are We Good at “Christianing”?
We, Christian (Christ-like) folks think we’re decent people. You know what I mean. We have all those “good” things to our credit: going to church, tithing, giving offerings, wearing a cross necklace, attending a Bible Study, volunteering for a charity. How could anyone think we are anything but rock-solid believers? I thought of myself as…
We Only Live Once — Really?
When we served for Hospice Austin’s Camp Braveheart last June, I walked past this chalkboard art. I quickly backed up to read it, took a picture of it and here I am sharing it with you today. Aw! We have to love Charles Schultz’s “Peanuts”. This time a chalk artist gave us a great comeback…
The Man and the Legend
It is an honor, on this 9th day of June, to celebrate my “other” son. Yes, I have one son by birth and the “other” son was God’s gift to my daughter, Staci, their two children, Payton and Alexia, ME and so many others look up to him, his wisdom, and his tender and loving…
A Man for all Seasons
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall – all you have to do is call, and he’ll come running. Please let me introduce you to that beautiful man on his birthday. Larry Wallace, my daughter’s husband; Payton and Alexia’s dad and I call him my son! We share him with the many who he “fathers”, “friends”, and…
Probing and Examining
Yesterday was the 2nd Sunday of Lent. We’re still in the time of examining our hearts and minds as we make our way to Easter. We are desiring a “clean” bill of spiritual health from our Heavenly Physician, Father God. Yesterday at Epiphany Ranch (my children’s personal and ministry property), I was beyond blessed to…
Are You Vaccinated?
Several times, recently, I’ve been asked “Are you vaccinated?” It was first asked at our women’s Bible fellowship group and quickly the leader said “We don’t ask that question here. It is a divisive question.” It was her response also when someone asked if they were Catholic or Protestant. I loved it when she replied…
Celebrating One of God’s Sweetest Gifts
What if our daily decisions, actions and reactions were always led by “What Would Jesus Do?” This day of the year is one of my favorites because I get to celebrate my “other” son. Yes, I have one birth son, but when my daughter, Staci, married Larry Wallace, God gave me another beloved son. Today…
Are We Good at “Christianing”?
We, Christian (Christ-like) folks think we’re pretty decent people. You know, we have all those “good” things to our credit: going to church, tithing, giving offerings, wearing a cross necklace, attending a Bible Study, volunteering for a charity. How could anyone think we are anything but wonderful? I think of myself as being a pretty…
Living Above Reproach
I’ve really done some personal soul-searching in the light of the supreme court hearings of the last few weeks. I’ve thanked God, innocent or not, that no one has ever pulled something from my past and accused me of something I did. If anything good can come out of all this, perhaps it’s to awaken…
