(ROCKWALL, TX — April 19, 2018) I’m in the city of National Treasures. The seasonal treasure these days are the cherry trees in full bloom. They are all over the area, not just around the Tidal Basin. As I look out the kitchen window right now on this cold & rainy Spring morning, there stands […]
(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, […]
(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 […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — March 5, 2018) I was reminded this week of how important it is for us to decide how we are going to respond to bad news before it happens. I guess we should ‘practice’ receiving that dreaded midnight phone call or rehearsing our words as we see the look on the doctor’s […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — February 22, 2018) So, what happened to, “April showers bring May flowers”? Or, “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb” (or is it vice versa, I’m not sure?). As I’m typing this, February 18th, it’s pouring rain and blowing a gale! Doesn’t the weather know it’s February? […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — February 12, 2018) What is a sojourn? I know what a journey is. It’s going from here to there, arriving. Anticipation is involved; planning. The journey may be difficult, but the goal is getting there, the destination you’ve dreamed about. A sojourn however is a temporary stay, a stop-over. We, however, live […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — February 5, 2018) How difficult do you find it to have a relationship with someone who isn’t there…or doesn’t appear to be there; isn’t responding back to you or can’t find their words? (Don’t tell me it’s your husband!) This is a serious question. It’s a question our Broadmoor families ask every […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — January 29, 2018) Folks often ask me why I say “bless” so often. I even have a plaque a friend gave me that says, “Bless”. I suppose I say it because I am blessed. Blessed to know you. Blessed to have kids that love me. Blessed to have 47 years of forgiveness […]
