Here We Go!

The Dallas Cowboys. America’s team. A team who is loved. A team who is hated. I fully know there will be some who read this little blog and will overlook anything uplifting that may be found. They’ll go straight to the comment, “The Cowgirls stink.” I’ll risk it.  The Webbs have always cheered for the Cowboys. Daddy and the boys…

Eyes Up!

I really don’t like this chair. This chair ticks me off. This chair let me down. I walk by this chair at least two times a day when I am at work. I could park somewhere else, but I don’t want to. I want to see this chair. I want to say thanks for nothing. Not too long ago my…

The God Who Sees You

Hannah and Hagar have been on my mind lately. Two women who shared some pretty heavy stuff. One thing they shared in common was pregnancy. One wanted to get pregnant and couldn’t, the other was pregnant but, maybe wasn’t too happy about it. Another commonality was they were both treated badly by other catty, jealous women. That’s not fun. But…

Up Against a Mountain

Old Testament Joseph and John the Baptist are two men who were up against mighty mountains. I tend to love Joseph’s story. But the story of John the Baptist? Not so much.

Have you heard about Mr. Irrelevant? For those of you who follow the National Football League you probably have, but Mr. Irrelevant was a new one for me. Recently Jimmy Garoppolo, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, was injured during a game. The backup quarterback, Brock Purdy, came in and helped win the game. I began seeing headlines that said,…

Call Me When You Can

“Call me when you can,” a text usually reserved for serious communications when I am at work came across my phone a few months ago. I wasn’t busy at that moment, so I called Tom. “Is everything ok?” I asked. Tom replied, “Everything’s ok. But these kids! THESE kids! THESE KiDS!!!!” Tom sounded shaky and excited in a bad way.…

He Made Me Smile

The last thing Mr. Larry Yeagley did for me was make me smile. That morning I planned on going to a flower picking farm. I got in the car and driving past his house I saw him sitting on his porch pruning his bushes. And I just smiled big. Immediately a little saying popped into my head “you just can’t…

KEEP YOUR LIFEJACKET ON!

Oh boy! Our son’s Biology class recently made it back from an epic five-day long trip! The trip included hiking, lots of eating, lots of cooking, a great waterfall, and a Mulberry River float trip that won’t soon be forgotten! There was cold, there was rain, but also, a lot of fun! Before we set off down the river, (which…
