The New England Patriots are the world champions. It is now the day after. The 2016-2017 NFL football season is officially behind us, along with all the life lessons that the season taught us. Sorry to be using football allegories for this post. I tried to soften it up with a picture of flowers, but … Continue reading THE MOMENTS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING

Disgrace becomes grace
Isn't it funny how changing up a few letters in a word transforms a word into a whole new entity. Take the word dog for instance. Exchange the o for an i and the word becomes dig. A noun became a verb simply because I changed out the vowels. Prefixes and suffixes are also fun … Continue reading Disgrace becomes grace

My day lies before me like empty white pages just waitin for the black ink of a pen. No dot or spot or smudge interrupts the blankness of the page. But I look out my window and see the dark of night begin to fade as dawn comes creeping up to brighten my day. The … Continue reading 86,400 seconds
Lost and found
I can't tell you how many times as a little girl, my mom would send me to the school lost and found for a jacket or a lunchbox or a notebook that I might have forgotten and left behind at school. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I have … Continue reading Lost and found
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

"God has plated eternity in the human heart." Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT Actually the entire verse reads, "Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own … Continue reading THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

Lucas and I sat out on the porch with hammer and screw driver in hand. "LaLa, what's does the middle of the acorn see look like?" Good question Lucas. I was curious too. So we began gathering acorns from the thousands that lay in our yard just waiting to break open and bud into a … Continue reading The path to Eternity
Road Closures
Today I sit and watch President and First-Lady Trump entering and exiting their cars. Out going President and First-Lady Obama will vacate one home and head to their next home. Each family has a certain destination ordained for them at the end of the day. Black armored cars escort them to their final destination. Road … Continue reading Road Closures
Day 19 – The Holy Spirit of God
Life is full of joys and sorrows, and so we ride this roller coaster. Sometimes we soar around the curves raising our hands and accepting the adventure and the thrills. Other times we cling to the bars as the roller coaster spins at a break neck speed around curves that catch us off guard. That … Continue reading Day 19 – The Holy Spirit of God
Cancelled!
Yesterday day I began my saga of my wearisome travel day from Addis Ababa Ethiopia back home to Tulsa, Oklahoma. It had been an exhilarating experience in Ethiopia. Twenty-six people had come to know the Lord, and my only assignment had been to watch God at work all around me. I was filled with the … Continue reading Cancelled!
Open that door! – Please
I rushed to the gate counter out of breath with feet swollen. I began my journey home 24 hours earlier. It originated in Addis Abab, Ethiopia. The flight across the pond took 17 hours. Praying for patience I stood in line for the next available immigration officer to look over my passport, ask me pertinent … Continue reading Open that door! – Please
