You Can Do It

The other day, in conversation with a woman who’s husband is unemployed, she said something that I consider a misconception. She said that her husband can do a lot of things but he can’t sell. She actually said he would make a terrible salesman. At first when she said it, I accepted it as fact. I don’t know her husband very well but I assumed that she did. Then I began to think about her accessment of him and found I couldn’t concur. I believe every one of us can and does attempt to sell what we believe in on a daily basis. Take for example the young professional who...

The Last Word

Some people put a little too much stock in experts. I was thinking about this the other day when I looked at my daughter’s nearly perfect bottom row of teeth. When she was five years old, I took her to the very children’s dentist that I had always gone to as a child. Yes, he was still alive and even practicing, amazing huh? I know what you’re thinking, that he must be ancient in years. As a matter of fact he is 173 years old. Anyway, when he saw two of her baby teeth fused together he told me it was necessary to pull them to avoid future problems. He also wanted to pull the two...

To Ask or Not To Ask, is Always the Question

To Ask or Not To Ask, is Always the Question

It’s hard to ask for favors. It’s even harder to be in a position where you have to continually ask because your situation warrants it. I know. I wish I didn’t but I know. Last year when we had three cars and four drivers, I didn’t have my car very often. Usually my younger son would need it for school. Because my youngest daughter is homeschooled and we’re home a lot, that worked out fine. He could even run a few errands after school for me. It wasn’t until we had one vehicle commit suicide that we ran into problems. After months – difficult months...

Love Has Come

Love Has Come

We’ve just started a women’s Bible Study at church and one week in it’s already making me think. The study is Believing God by Beth Moore and, although I’ve already done this particular study some 7 years ago, it’s a good time in my life to go through it again. There are going to be some coming changes in this family and I have a feeling I’m going to need to be reminded to actively, purposefully believe God is who says He is and can do what He says He can do. I just sneaked in the first two statements of a 5 point pledge from the study. Which works out...

Pink is my signature color…

Pink is my signature color…

As much as I feel that I’m oh-so-past-ready for winter to be over and sun and warmth to fill my days, I’m finding it hard to believe that Spring may be actually here. As I sit inside, the cloud cover these past few days of 75+ degree days is tricking me into believing it’s still cold out there. It surprised me today to read on Facebook that someone nearby was planning on “rockin the shorts and the flipflops.” When I got out of bed this morning I put on my uniform of a brown sweater and jeans. So predictable! So drab! February in Texas is nice but March and...

So here’s the deal…

So here’s the deal…

Every time I think about writing here I end up adding a plugin or researching new themes instead. I don’t know why that is, it just is. So now it’s crunch time, I can either write this post or play with the design of my blog. And no, this is not going to a vote. You have no say. Sorry. I guess it’s just that I’m afraid of how you’d vote. With the start of this new year comes a sincere desire within me to write more. I am making a decision right here and now to fast from procrastination and blog-avoidance. Whether I have anything profound to write or not. I will...
