After the close call that I shared with you in my last post, it has been a rough week. God's provision saving me from an ugly outcome was beyond amazing. I had headaches, a lump on the top of my head, aches and pains in my neck and shoulders, but can report that I am … Continue reading Rough week
I was thinking of making the title of this post, “Clouds of Doom” like the picture with this post, but thought better of it. Or as humor columnist Dave Barry would say, “But that would make a great name for a rock band.” Miserable people like others to be unhappy. They just don't understand someone … Continue reading Misery loves company
We've all been there. (Whether we admit it or not.) Someone cuts you off in traffic. Or you get stuck behind the person who thinks the speed limit is a friendly suggestion, as they proceed to drive 20 miles an hour below it. Getting angry about it just ain't worth it! You see the news … Continue reading Anger Management
When you are passionate about someone, you express it by showing how much they mean to you. You go above and beyond what is normal, because of your intense love for them. During this season of Easter, Jesus did just that. That's why it is called “His passion.” So when a fellow blogger did a … Continue reading Passionate
I was recently visiting a fellow rancher, who had a big metal ring installed to the side of the front door of the house. I asked about it. They said there was also one installed by the door of the barn. We get some really harsh whiteout snowstorms, and at the first sign of a … Continue reading Lifeline
Well as promised, I will now share with you why I have learned to speak sheep. About a month ago, I looked out the window because I heard a ruckus. And what to my wondering eyes did I see? But two Texas long horn cattle tussling with our two bulls! How did they get here? … Continue reading I speak sheep
Mary Poppins had it right. Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down. Or as Solomon said in Proverbs 17:22, a cheerful heart is good medicine. I do my best every day to use my gift of encouragement to be that spoon fill of sugar in someone's life. Because face it, sometimes … Continue reading Take your medicine
When you want to get it right, it pays to do a trial run. Practice makes perfect. That's why this post is exciting to me, and hopefully to you as well! Passover Sunday and Easter Sunday, my pastor was teaching on the timeline leading up to Jesus going to the cross. It was fascinating how … Continue reading Practice makes perfect
Yes, I'm that person. And I'm darn proud of it too. You know who I am. I'm a rock star. You know, the one in her car with the music cranked up, singing along, bopping her head, and dancing in her seat. (All while safely holding on to the steering wheel of course!) That's why … Continue reading Rock star
I hate when this happens! You're on a road trip and stop off at a little roadside diner, eating your lunch, minding your own business, when demonic forces feel it necessary to attack and try to kill you. This was the plot of the 2010 movie Legion. A group of strangers at a dusty roadside … Continue reading Keep the faith
