A Wisdom Diploma
What if all those students who recently graduated had taken “wisdom” courses that gave them the keys for a life of success — no matter what profession they chose? For sure, those wisdom courses would have helped us avoid the School of Hard Knocks! That’s a school we go to without realizing we enrolled. Despite…
Prayer – As Natural As Breathing
Seems like God has me on a Prayer Enlightenment Journey, and it’s popping up everywhere, just like those white cars you start noticing the minute you buy one. I get it, Lord, I hear you loud and clear. Apparently, it’s time to amp up my communication with God! I’ll be straight with you, I’ve never…
A Tribute to Mothers, Nurturers, Mentors, and Champions of Love
On this special day, I want to extend a heartfelt Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible women who embody the spirit of nurturing and love. Whether you’re a mother by birth, adoption, or simply by the overflow of your heart, your impact is immeasurable, and your love knows no bounds. As we celebrate Mother’s…
Giants — Everywhere!
I know how it feels when my circumstances are looming over me like a hulking, colossal GIANT who is fierce, beyond my capability. He is throwing every negative word of doubt and unbelief imaginable my way. He is taunting, harassing, smack-talking and my faith is challenged like crazy. Maybe that sounds like some things you’re…
A Brand New Life
Last June, my son’s family’s precious 14-year-old Havanese, Bentley, went to doggy heaven. We closed that chapter of caring for him and making him feel comfortable, but the love for him will never leave us. We’ll forever cherish the precious memories of Bentley growing up with my four Wuerch grandsons. It really is like losing…
Wisdom from Trial and Error
Of all the things that we did wrong, we did some things right. For example – in teaching our children to be brave, faith-filled, optimistic, daring, strong and responsible human beings. I’d like to think that my young husband and I did everything right, but without a doubt, a lot fell through the cracks because…
Enjoying Billowy Cloud Cover
Our trip to East Texas and Epiphany Ranch didn’t disappoint! We took advantage of the wonderful, somewhat cooler temperatures. We went to see my sweet cousin, Mary Ellen Snow, who moved to Tyler, TX from Frisco, TX. We were neighbors in Frisco, buds in Tulsa and Dallas before that. It looks like the cousins still…
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…
Can You Give Me a Hand?
A moving train of people helped our neighbor move from an upper floor to an apartment on the first floor. She merely posted in our residents’ Facebook group: “Many of you have offered to help me move. I am ready to accept help. SO…… if you have a wagon and can carry a couple medium…
Born to Live this Life
Remember the line by Mother Abbess to Maria in the epic movie “The Sound of Music”? “Maria, these walls were not meant to shut out problems. You must face them. You must live the life you were born to live.” Such words of wisdom: “We must live the life we were born to live.” In…
