Hey There, Punkin!
Oct 26, 2010The minute I thought they wouldn’t be in danger of melting in the hot Texas sun, I put a few pots of mums and three pumpkins out in front of my house. Even though the calendar says “Fall,” it is taking awhile for the weather to come to its senses and just CHILL OUT. Two of […]
Read MoreEnough
Oct 25, 2010Whenever I am discouraged about the things that are “lacking” in my life, somehow God brings me back around to Habakkuk 3:17-19. I love these words. Though the fig tree does not bud, and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are […]
Read MoreEternal Home
Oct 21, 2010Yesterday, my friend Denise went home to be with the Lord. The day before her death, I went to visit her bedside. She’d been bound to her bed for months at this point. Cancer permeated so much of her body that, months ago, doctors told her there was nothing more that they could do. When […]
Read More“Constructive Criticism”
Oct 20, 2010Responding well to criticism is something that I struggle with. I tend to take it personally and start beating myself up at the first hint that I’m not measuring up in some way.

Read MoreWho Do You Belong To?
Oct 19, 2010People regularly ask for the words to the soliloquy in Anointed, Transformed and Redeemed. Be blessed – enjoy! He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end. He’s the keeper of creation and the creator of all. He’s the architect of the universe and the manager of all time. He always […]
Read MoreBarbeque Brisket – Yum!
It’s been a little while since I’ve shared any recipes with you. And honestly, this post today is a little self-serving. I know that when I give you one, my kind blogging friends most always give me some in return! So I have high expectations . . .and so does my family. (I think they […]
Read MoreSizzle in Marriage
Oct 17, 2010I’ve been thinking alot about marriage lately. Mostly because I am married, and as any married person knows – it requires alot of work and thought if it’s going to be any good. Even more than that, I’ve recently decided to write on the topic a bit. I’m certainly no expert and need all the […]
Read MoreDecorating Advice, Please!
Oct 14, 2010Going Beyond Ministries has moved into “new to us” offices recently, and we are so excited about the great work spaces here. But even though we’ve moved and are operational, there is still some work to be done. Today, Priscilla is taking us on a little tour of an area that has been painted and […]
Read MoreFlash is Not a Good Supervisor
Oct 13, 2010My donkey, Flash, has appointed himself as my “boss” in my latest project. However, it’s not working out real well. I mean, his management skills could use some help. I’m talking about it over at Home Sanctuary today….stop over and see what’s going on! Good managers don’t stick their tongues out at people. Everyone knows […]
Read MoreThis. Is. It.
Oct 12, 2010Hang on to your hair-nets, church ladies, because Kirk Franklin is in the house today. Do yourself a favor and listen to “Declaration” on his myspace page…it is the 4th song down on the playlist. It reminded me of one of my favorite verses, 2 Timothy 1:7. The song’s Declaration goes right along with the words of this scripture: […]
