Hosanna!

Hosanna!

(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 […]

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

(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, […]

From Alice in Wonderland to Queen Esther

(ROCKWALL, TX — March 12, 2018) What does Daylight Saving Time actually save?  My body has already asked me that question.  We went to bed an hour early Saturday night thinking surely that would reset our internal alarms.  All it did was cause me to look at the clock every hour on the hour so […]

Jesus was not born in a palace.  […]

A Thankful Christmas

A Thankful Christmas

(ROCKWALL, TX — December 11, 2017) Have you ever heard of Thankmas?  We have friends who celebrate Christmas at Thanksgiving.  They’re better parents & in-laws than we are.  They get together with their kids at Thanksgiving allowing the in-laws the blessing of having them at Christmas.  I was reminded of this when I received the […]
