The Cruel Sticker Bush

This scripture got down in my spirit this morning. Last night, the Lord brought to mind the scripture penned in Hebrews 12:1: “…let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,” Sin that entangles! That’s a cool image. […]

The Great Let It Go

English has always come easy for me. I have ALWAYS been a talker. I’m a social person, so to be social, you have to talk, but little did I know that one day, God would call me to sacrifice that gift. No, He didn’t ask me to become a mute. 🤣 HE makes the dumb […]

Plucky Walt

“After only two months of Disneyland’s initial opening, the one millionth visitor passed through the front gate.” According to me, that meant obvious success. I mean, I haven’t had one million people show up for my events all put together…at least not YET. “When the media continued to criticize the number of unfinished attractions, Walt […]

Marshy Yuck

My parents live on acres of heavenly marsh. That’s kind of an inside joke amongst me and my sisters because we have a love/hate relationship with this piece of property. We made so many wonderful memories here throughout our lifetimes and, of course, there’s nothing like coming home to Mom and Dad’s for Thanksgiving and […]
