(ROCKWALL, TX — April 6, 2018) As I drive back to Memphis I often pass an exit labeled, “Gill Campus.” Pride follows the memory of the day the local community college dedicated their campus with my dad’s name on the front, and what’s funny is Dad nearly flunked out of school. He graduated what I […]
The voice of the Lord is over the waters… —Psalm 29:3 (ROCKWALL, TX — April 6, 2018) An awful image flashed before me like a snapshot, waking me in the middle of the night. Immediately, I left my sleeping husband and headed to our 17-year-old’s unoccupied room. In the darkness, I climbed into the empty […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — April 2, 2018) I’ve been studying quite a bit about Easter during these last 40 days. Some things have struck me that I’ve not noticed before. I’d like to share them with you and look a little more closely. It didn’t end well for Judas. Even though Jesus chose him, he was […]

(ROCKWALL, TX — March 27, 2018) I wonder what song Jesus was singing in His heart while everyone else was singing, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!” It’s a song of expectancy. They’d sung it before, but never to Him. They hoped He would be the One who would […]

(ROCKWALL, TX — March 19, 2018) It’s birthday month. Dear friends, one in heaven, were born this month. Amazingly my children will be 44 years old this month. Can’t be! They are aging well as is their Grandmother. I noticed a birthday party at Broadmoor today, Sunday. A great celebration of a life well-lived. Obviously, […]
