Intentional Wildflowers

Thanks be to God! My husband’s home finally sold. The closing will be on May 1st! We give the credit to God for the answers to our prayers. I mentioned in an earlier blog about the $60K estimate for the plumbing issues. But God — and a dear couple in our community. This couple assured us that they would pray – intentionally – every day until the house sold. That’s the kind of friends we all…

An Apple a Day

Apples – the wonderful fruit that keeps doctors away! Well, not really. Because I serve up sliced apples many mornings and sprinkle a little cinnamon on them, it doesn’t really mean we won’t need doctors. Or does it? The National Institute of Health (NIH) says there is no evidence that eating an apple a day keeps doctors away. However, a study found that people who eat an apple a day use fewer…

Chocolate and Kindness Dealers

I have exposed my DELIGHT for anything chocolate for a very long time. My husband is an accessory to my habit. He knows that one See’s salted chocolate caramel morsel brings me to heaven on earth. Yum! Surely heaven will include seeing Jesus face-to-face, streets of gold, AND chocolate! Heavenly delicacies. Chocolate — that SWEET, savory, God-given, delicacy of DELIGHT. But I can’t…

Preservation Needed Here

Sounds like I’m talking about an old building or canning some fruit or vegetables. Preservation means to keep alive, make lasting, to protect. We all have an innate desire to do everything we can to make our lives last as long as we can. We know this life doesn’t hold a candle to what awaits us in heaven, but we still desire to hang out on this side a little longer, so we try to eat healthy,…

Giants -- Everywhere!

I know how it feels when my circumstances are looming over me like a hulking, colossal GIANT who is fierce, beyond my capability. He is throwing every negative word of doubt and unbelief imaginable my way. He is taunting, harassing, smack-talking and my faith is challenged like crazy. Maybe that sounds like some things you’re going through right now. If so, let’s think about the epic story of…

Healing by Helping Others

When I am hurting, who do I think of most? ME!I check my text messages right after I post my blog each morning. This day’s message from my son made me hurt for my youngest grandson. “Our Bryson had quite an accident today. They all went to the lake. Bryson was climbing up a building to jump off into the lake. A piece of steel was hanging out and sliced his foot almost to the bone. Six stitches…

Let's Stop Comparing

I saw a sign that said, “Don’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20.” I needed those words. I wanted to be the virtuoso singer who spent countless years training her voice and I was comparing the voice I had in my church’s choir. I wanted to be the exemplary homemaker whose home is perfection everywhere, while I was doing good to get the kitchen’s countertop cleared off and…

The next morning, they attended Hillsong’s Sunday services and then took the bullet train to Paris.Staci met up with a friend, Irina, in the UK who became their guide throughout London and Paris. Since they had never taken Paris’ trains,…

The Mind & the Mine Connection

“Mine!” That’s what toddlers say when another child wants to play with their toys. I remember my own children saying “Mine!” It took some time to change their “minds” to be generous, kind and giving. But that “Mine!” attitude isn’t easy to break. Even, as adults, “mine” is a part of our DNA. My plans. My ideas. My way. My life. In the words of Frank Sinatra “I did it MY way!” Not anything…

Let's Eat

You ought to see us at our Thursday night’s Mix and Mingle. I mean those of us who live at Everleigh Lakeline 60+ community. You would think that we were starving birds in the wilderness as we line up to fill our plates with another scrumptious meal. Let’s eat! We love those words! They mean “dinner is served”! We are hungry. The kitchen is filled with nose-worthy aromas. We can barely wait when…

Owning Up to Our Authority

We’re still navigating our way with Jesus when He was in and out of places after His resurrection. He served up fried fish for His disciples by a campfire as they came to Him from their fishing boat. Jesus gave plenty of opportunities for witnesses to see Him alive and well AFTER He came back to life at His resurrection. Those witnesses assured us that He is alive. His resurrection Is about us…

I'm a Jesus Fan

Yes, I’m a Jesus fan! I can’t help myself. He has done so much for me in the peace, comfort and joy categories that makes me want to make Him even more famous. My blogs speak of Him often. I’m sure you have seen Jesus fans carrying signs on street corners that say something like “Trust God” or “God is Good” or “Honk if You Love Jesus”. I am guilty as charged. I have been one of those who stood…

All is Vanity

I spend way too much time looking at myself in the mirror. Lord, have mercy! My mother is looking back at me! The aging struggle is real. Usually, these days, I take a good quick look at who is staring back at me because the girl I once was, is long gone. But then, I remember the Psalmist’s words: “Turn my eyes from looking at vanities: and give me life in YOUR ways.” Did you know that vanity…

God is in the Details

Details — those ominous, pit-filled, heart-wrenching times when we ask: “Why? Why? Why?” But hold on, friends, God is in the details!!! We are having our morning devotions when we start looking for answers to some almost overwhelming issues. A sales contract on Carl’s home seems to have a glitch. During the inspection, some plumbing issues are discovered. Then the plumbers come and along with…

God's Handiwork in the Heavens

On August 21, 2017, millions of people witnessed the last full solar eclipse. While I have a great appreciation for the wonders in the skies and on the earth, I didn’t get carried away with it all until I was at my car dealership. The service guys were outside with their welder’s masks. My service rep called me over to look. Indeed it was a sight to behold. Fast forward to today, April 8th,…

Let's Talk About Going Home

I write this blog today after attending a group meeting that included a yummy Mexican lunch! Was it the dying part that enticed me to go to the meeting or was it the free lunch? Maybe both. At our ripe ages, it is incumbent upon us to consider “What’s Next?” – at least regarding helping our children manage our passing. At the last several funerals aka memorial services we have attended, each of…
