Wisdom is the Principal Thing — Get Wisdom!
We have all heard the phrase “right place at the right time”. That was my daughter when she just happened to be at a conference in Hawaii and the conference director asked if she would sing a song at one of the events. Always prepared with a soundtrack back then, she did sing and belted…
Happy Birthday to My 50 Years Young Son!
Whew! How can it be? I still so fondly remember your Dad and I dreaming of having a baby boy, and then God gave us YOU! We were so young and in love and hardly knew how to take care of ourselves – never mind, a baby, but with God’s help, and our highly experienced…
Opposites Attract
At dinner last week at our fishing cabin, with three 17-year old guys, as only Staci can do when she is in rare form (that’s most of the time), asked the boys what were they looking for in a future wife. I know what’s she’s doing when she asks those kinds of questions. It’s an…
They Opened Their Mouths With Wisdom
Happy Mother’s Day to ALL my girl friends and sisters, and that includes all women who have been gifted with that “maternal instinct” of nurturing and caring for others. It’s true what they say about women — “we are life givers”. Mothering is the thing all women do, with the small and big kids under…
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…
