Your impact Frankly, I had no reason to believe I would still be here sharing this with you. My paternal grandfather died at 51, and my dad died at 57. I just turned 78. Truly our days are in the hands of God. But is it really the number of years, or is it the […]
Snow birds GEESE…fly south for the winter, primarily for food and from the harsh Canadian and northern climates. It begins in the Fall when food supplies start diminishing. Yankees also fly south! They call themselves ‘snow birds’. Texas is home to thousands each year. Geese are a lot like humans. They are very relational. A […]
Just reflecting… Amazement and wonder, we literally stand in awe; Beginning with creation and what the shepherds saw. Every sunset is a testimony of His love for beauty; The flowers and birds shout acclamation to the Trinity. An ocean view, a howling wind and a deep blue sky; A youngster’s laugh, a full moon, […]
Responsibility Discipline…seems to be lacking in the lives of the majority of people today. You see it everywhere with families and unruly children. Many kids have never been given boundaries. They are flailing at life, acting out their frustrations in poor and sometimes violent ways. I was watching some pro football today and you see […]
Deliveries LoveDelivers…is a new online business of my granddaughter, Annie, and her friend, McKinley. It can be viewed on Etsy.com. They hand design your favorite scripture in many varied forms of lettering and are using the sale proceeds to finance their summer mission trip. Check it out. Great gifts! As I was focusing on her […]
Unforgettable GOLF…is a game that captured me for a number of my adult years. Besides the joy of fellowship, being outdoors experiencing God’s creation, playing in numerous venues across this country and in Scotland, I found the game to really mirror life. Other than the times with grandson Luke, my very special memories are playing […]
Conscious conviction INTENTIONALITY…is a powerful display of conscious conviction. At least that’s how I see it. I am sure the dictionary would define it as a ‘state of being intentional.’ Those are always so helpful, so definitive and clarifying. Don’t you just love it! I would go further to even say that it means: I […]
No excuses God is accessible to everyone and no one really has an excuse for not finding Him. The wonders of creation, the written word (Bible), miracle of birth and life all point to Him. “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are […]
Persevere in parenting EXERCISING…is somewhat like parenting. Some days just seem to be harder than others. I was working out on the elliptical bike as usual but today I just didn’t seem to have my normal energy. A little way into it I had the thoughts of just blowing it off, or at least cutting […]
Testimony Last Thursday, at the Fathers Forum, we were blessed by Chris Harden’s very thought-provoking and transparent testimony providing several passages of scripture to convey his message. Sharing his brokenness as a youngster with a father that moved out, you could tell it was still a tender issue in his life. After being beaten to […]
