What shall be our legacy? What will our children say? Let them say of me I was one who believed In sharing the blessings I received. Let me know in my heart When my days are through America America I gave my best to you. Today I am thankful for the sacrifice of others. “Lord,…
Soul Dusting
Can you imagine a world without music? I can’t. What a sad and dreary place it would be. Ever since I can remember, music has been important to me. My grandmother used to tell the story of how, at the age of two, I would walk around singing, “Oh, Jesus, I sure do like you”,…
Enough
I’ve been participating in a very interesting conversation on Facebook tonight about poverty and hunger in our own community. The statistics are staggering. I’m encouraged to see the conversation moving into the realm of what we can do about it. Some very intriguing ideas are being tossed about and I’m encouraged by the compassion I…
Good friends
Good friends are one of life’s true blessings. After church we went to lunch with a couple we’ve been friends with since our children were little. Even after our meal was over we sat and talked another couple of hours. We talked of our children, our church, funny things and serious stuff. We are fortunate…
Friday gratitude…
It was COLD in the house when we woke up this morning. Someone, who shall remain nameless (okay, it was me), forgot to turn the heater back on last night. It was 62 degrees in the house. David was up first and turned it back on while I continued to snuggle under the covers, savoring…

Thankful November
I noticed that a number of my Facebook friends are posting something they are thankful for each day of November. What a nice idea. Instead of posting on Facebook, however, I’m going to post here. If I have another post for the day, I’ll include my thankfulness at the bottom of it. If not, it…
This is how we (rock and) roll
We won’t be going to Voodoo Fest in New Orleans this year but we did get to see the band David most wanted to see – Soundgarden. Chris, David and I drove to Dallas Wednesday afternoon for the concert that night. But first we needed nourishment: Burritos at Del Taco (This was a favorite when…
Big doings in a small town…
A lot of folks complain that there’s nothing to do in a small town but they just aren’t looking in the right places. We had a rockin’ Saturday night which began with a fundraiser for the fire department David volunteers with. Now tell me there’s a better name for a community than Happyland. I just…
