When You Don’t Know What To Do
I’m a pretty good actress. I’ve always been able to make people believe I know what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, with all the confidence I can muster together. Truth be told, though, I’m often faced with not knowing what to do. Maybe it’s my Type A personality...
The Power of Family
We are preparing for Thanksgiving this week and the start of the traditional holiday season. Many are traveling home from long distances and some short distances. The one thing you can count on for holidays is the strong emotions being with family can...
When You Least Expect It
Last week we heard from a former client, a dear person we hadn’t heard from in years. The call was unexpected and brought answers to questions and needs we had. Hubby and I scratched our heads wondering, “how on earth??” Then we immediately realized it was...
What We Don’t See
I can’t tell you how many opportunities I’ve had open up, just to turn those opportunities down. I would listen to my self-talk -- “I can’t do that,” or “I don’t have a clue what to do.” Oh, I’ve risen to the challenge on occasion, took the opportunity, walked through...
When Time Runs Out
“LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.” (Psalm 39:4) Every week we learn of the sudden and unexpected passing of a celebrity. Each time I hear these news reports, I’m reminded that I may...
Faith in Action
Since I was knee high to a grasshopper, I’ve enjoyed stories and reading. I fell in love with history when I read my first novel, “The Diary of Anne Frank,” when I was 10. A true story which detailed a clear picture of the atrocities during World War II, I was...
Give Me That Old-Time Religion
On September 22, 1871, an elderly British lady, 82 years of age, was ushered into her heavenly reward. Earlier, in 1835, frustrated at being an invalid, left her feeling useless and questioning her very salvation. What young Charlotte Elliot5 did next would echo...
On Wings Like Eagles
Over my lifetime I have traveled a lot, flying friendly skies for work and leisure. This past weekend I took a long weekend trip to fly and visit family. The visit part was great … but the skies, after many years of not flying, weren’t as friendly as I remembered....
PERFECT PEACE
How many of you have suffered storms in life … trials and tribulations? If you haven’t, count yourself fortunate. I bet everyone breathing has faced some type of trial during their time on earth or definitely knows someone close who certainly has. There was a...
LITTLE LAMBS
Living in rural East Texas, I am used to cattle – big, tough, every color, and every breed you can imagine. After all, this is Texas and it IS cattle country. Then I saw a small herd of sheep on a spread not far from us and I became hooked. Passing this herd of...
THE FROG IN THE KETTLE
In my youth (umpteen years ago), someone told me if you put a frog in a kettle of water, then turn the heat up slowly to the boiling point, that frog would just sit there grinning while he slowly boiled to death. I thought, “That’s ridiculous – who wouldn’t get...
Against All Odds
After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Japanese naval commanders praised Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the supreme Naval commander for the Japanese Empire, for planning the attack that severely damaged American naval forces. It is purported that...
The Hatfields and McCoys
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … I love history, folklore, and true stories. In my infrequent spare time, I enjoy films based on true stories, then love doing some research to find out the facts. This week I watched The Hatfields and McCoys series. I...
Being Still
Whenever I come up with a title for a post I try to pick a perfect example of the subject matter. This week, I decided to hone in on an example of what “being still” is not … a puppy. As you may remember, we found an adorable Great Pyrenees puppy in June after our...
