Time to Register for Cross Training
On New Year’s Day, I heard this said:: “This is going to be your best year ever, but keep in mind, though you may be going in with a clean slate, you’re still taking some of the “old” in with you. You still take YOU!” That’s a wake-up call, isn’t it? It’s awe-inspiring to think…
Got WISDOM?
I’m reading the Bible through this year, but more than just reading, I’m pondering the words I read. This month I’m in the Book of Proverbs I’ve noticed that the central theme is found in Chapter 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; yes, with all your getting, get understanding.” In yesterday’s reading,…
Hidden Treasures
Upon my return from Texas, I went to see Mom. I know she loves getting the latest news about all the family and I use my visual aids (my cell phone’s photos) to describe it all. I had lots of photos from Payton’s 16th birthday celebrations to show her, that she loved. She played baseball…
Are You a Lion Player or Lion Slayer?
I’ve been thinking a lot about David, the shepherd boy. He loved God so much. He spent a lot of time with his sheep. He knew them and he knew their enemies. He protected them when he killed the lion and the bear AND the giant. He had the incredible ability to conquer those “normally”…

Day 66 of Photo Inspirations — Great Granny = Sweet Memories When my kids come back to Tulsa, paying a visit to Great Granny is always on the itinerary! I loved it, yesterday, when we stopped by to see her. Payton and Alexia will be in a 3-Day Speech & Debate Competition starting next…
School of Hard Knocks
Many of us went to, and even graduated from the School of Hard Knocks. I’ll never forget how smart my husband and I thought we were starting out in life — so very young and inexperienced. His dad tried to counsel us on so many things and offer his sound advice and wisdom to us.…
Thankful for the Precious Moments
So good to be back home in T-Town! Always thankful to go…..and thankful to be back home. Quite frankly….. ”thankful” has become my default emotion. Thankful for my life, thankful for family, thankful for friends, and, thankful that I choose to be thankful. I’m especially thankful for the precious moments in my life, and so…
God Wired Us For Thirst
God wired us for thirst – a “low-fluid indicator.” If our fluid level is low, the signals will flare — dry mouth, achy head, weak knees, unclear thinking, even fainting.. If we deprive our bodies of fluid, our bodies will tell us. In the same way, if we deprive our souls of spiritual water, our…
Cherish the Moments
A few years ago, I received my daily “check-in” call from Staci while she was picking up Payton and Alexia from school. In the background, I heard Alexia say, “Payton, that’s my side!” Payton responded, “It’s my turn to sit on that side!” Then Alexia, “Mommy, Payton pushed me!” Then Payton, “She pushed me first!” Before…
