How about them Cowboys? Oh my! I’m not sure what happened, but after 4 quarters Dallas actually had crushed someone! It was a beautiful game! Now, now, settle down! I can feel some of y’all getting annoyed at me! You think football is the biggest waste of time ever! (You have a good arguement.) But hang in there with me.…

Ponder This!
Do you like to ponder? I ponder the fact that we used to ponder more back in the “olden days”… the “olden days” meaning my childhood. We used to just sit and talk, on the sundeck swing or in the backyard. Sometimes I thought it was boring, but we sure did a lot of pondering! I like to ponder even…
Enlarge My Territory
Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that I will be free from pain.” And God…
Orders or Suggestions?
Sometimes nurses and doctors have funny relationships. One thing doctors do is write orders. These are things they want done for the patient — whether it be medications, activity, or treatments. The doctor puts the order in and nurses follow it…well most-time. One “funny” of the relationship is when either the nurse or the doctor refers to the “doctor’s order”…
Come On, God!
Tough week. Emotional last few days. Tomorrow I’m telling a children’s story I’ve named “Zack and the Appendix” at church. It’s conclusion is that God wants the best for us. Today I posted a picture on Facebook of streaming sunlight and commented that God was beaming. But does He? Is He? Missing my Dad for a whopping 20 years, the…
Let the Cat In
We have a cat. I don’t like him. We used to be friends, but no more! Not since he turned evil. He used to be an outdoor, indoor cat. He’d politely meow at the door to be let out when nature called. It was a great agreement between Whiskers and I. Somewhere along the way he became a lazy, fat…
Take the Exit!
We got to spend a few days at the beach over Spring break! I heart the beach! The morning we left, I said a sad goodbye to Jake and Alijah, and a sadder goodbye to the beach (I’m just joking). I told Tom to drive because I wanted to nap. I decided I’d nap after the toll road, because that…
Who ARE You?
Have you ever been disappointed? Let down in a situation you thought you had a pretty good handle on? Have you ever been disappointed in someone who you thought you knew? At the least, have you ever incorrectly sized someone up and put them in the wrong box? We have never routinely done homework or obsessed with our kids’ school…
Do I Feel Like Him?
On my trip to see Jake at CYB (Camp Yorktown Bay) last weekend, I met a special little guy. He was so sweet. He was a big hugger and would sque-eeze me just like my boys do. He was an essential-oiler like Jake! He knew that I knew his Mom. We hit it off! Several times as we sat by…
Trusting God with Empty Pockets
“Everybody trusts God on a good day with $20 in their pocket.” Interesting quote!! It came from the movie “Seasons of Gray,” and just like my family, I can’t know if y’all actually listen to me, so I encourage you to watch this movie again! In this modern day story of Joseph, this little slip of paper was left by…
