Honey, Have You Seen My …
I have the dearest hubby in the world. He’s smart, funny, a great cook (thank you, Lord!), and a hard worker. He would give someone the shirt off his back (and has many times). But he also misplaces things … a lot! Hubby reminds me nothing is ever lost, so I’m...
What the World Needs Now
Any time of the day, any day of the week, anywhere in the world we hear the same thing … the state of mental health is suffering and declining. Recently the Associated Press reported that suicide has reached an all-time high in the US. About 49,500 people died by...
No Good Deed
People ask me all the time how I decide what to write about. It’s really very simple – it’s life events -- something happens at least weekly, often daily, that I learn from. And this week was a doozy! My husband and I like to help people in need. We like...
Are You Lost or Found?
I’ve been thinking a lot about lost and found lately. Maybe it’s because school is ready to start and I remember how much time I spent looking for stuff in the “lost and found room.” Then (and now) I seem to always lose something (although my husband would...
WILL EVIL PREVAIL?
Since time began there has been a battle of good vs. evil. From ancient human sacrifices, barbarism, slavery, death camps, the Cambodian killing fields, abortion, and now child and human trafficking, among countless others, they all have one common denominator -- the...
IS A GREAT AWAKENING COMING SOON?
Many historians believe this country was founded upon revival. Christian denominations can be traced back to a revival or a spiritual awakening. Revivals can last from hours to months to years. They uniquely impact the culture of a nation, such as the First and Second...
A Matter of Perspective
I was raised in Texas, deep in the heart of the Bible Belt. My family went to church twice on Sundays, once on Wednesdays, and in between for choir, Training Union, and Girl’s Auxiliary. Since I was knee-high to a grasshopper I have heard Bible stories of...
Relationships | Here, There, Everywhere
If there’s one lesson I’m learning over and over again, it is that you have to have relationships to get anywhere. Starting with family, then friends, then co-workers, acquaintances … yes, and even strangers. That’s the way God created us … to be relational...
Have I Got a Story to Tell You
I love stories. I have since I sat on my grandmother’s lap as she read ALL of them over and over again. Three Little Bears … Cinderella … Snow White … Beauty and the Beast. I couldn’t help myself then and I can’t help myself now! Hearing and then...
In a Split Second
Living in Texas you can expect extreme weather. Winter is usually mild compared to the northern states, fall is pleasant with a few cold snaps, the summer heat can be brutal, and spring comes the rain, storms, and tornadoes … we had a humdinger of a storm recently....
Help Comes in All Directions
I drive an old woman’s SUV. Big enough to be comfortable with the added bonus of drop-down running boards. When we moved to the country, I thought this car was indestructible. Well, it is, all except for the tires. I must be a magnet for every nail, spike, and...
My BFF
I can remember that day well. Cold November day in 2017. For several years we had told ourselves NO MORE PETS – ever! And yet, here we were, driving 75 miles to pick up the cutest white bundle of puppy fur-ever. We named him Scooter after his dad. I cradled Scooter...
Graduates
The month of May … commonly known as the end-of-year graduating month … is over. Unless you live on Mars, you undoubtedly have attended or been invited to many graduation services for high school or college. We celebrate the accomplishments of these young...
Heroes
HEROES I have a confession to make. I always considered Memorial Day just another national holiday. Loving history, It wasn’t until I learned about Memorial Day history that I grew to appreciate the importance of those who laid down their lives for us all. Originally...
