The Big Picture
Ah! The big picture. Long term thinking. Those are reminders that life insurance agents share with their potential clients. As a matter of fact, my husband works with those who are purchasing life insurance to protect his/her family in the event of an early death. The insured must qualify primarily based on their health status.…
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…
About Our Father’s Business?
I have five grandsons. I am watching each one come into their own desires for their future. Of course, my sons would hope their boys wanted to follow in their “business” footsteps, but so far, each of those sons are choosing their own way. It isn’t because those boys don’t value and appreciate their fathers’…
To be a Turkey – Hang Out with Turkeys
Lately my blogs have been about our tight relationship with Jesus. I’ve written about keeping our eyes on Him, listening for His voice, hanging out with Him daily in prayer and in His Word, and overall doing what He did. WWJD! If I am sincerely investing in my relationship with Him, I know my mindset…
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…
Good Friday — His Words Were Few
That sounds almost impossible in an age when it’s all talk, talk, talk, giving opinions, and complaining about this and that. Passionate defenders of their opinions shout: “Speak up if you want your voice heard!” The prophet Isaiah gave us inside information about what this day would look like 700 years before Jesus’ birth. “He…
Love God and Do Whatever You Please
This Love Month is coming to a close tomorrow. So, I need to squeeze in one more blog that accentuates God’s love for us and our love for Him. The title of this blog was a quote by St. Augustine. I thought “Did I hear that right? Do whatever I want?” How can that be?…
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…
Love’s Power to Change Everything and Everyone
I’m carrying on one more day of recognizing the power of love. The power to overpower hate with love. Martin Luther King Jr. did that and he gave his life for it. I started thinking about how illogical Jesus’ words seem to be in Matthew 5:44. “Love your enemies! Bless them that curse you! Do…
