I trust you all had a happy Thanksgiving. I had all of my childrena and grandchildren this year – the first time in years! Around the table we had 12 adults and 10 children – 8, 8 yrs. and younger. It was wild – fortunately, I had done a lot of cooking ahead of time. […]
Oh dear! I was “called on the carpet” this week. I was mistaken when I said my mother’s older sister was 94 years old. She let me know that she is not 94! I was wrong…please forgive me Aunt Rosa. So…to be very careful, I’ll just let it stand that you are my mother’s wise, […]
Today is my father’s 93rd birthday! Happy Birthday, Daddy! So many ask me how he is doing. He is just great! I went home to see him over the weekend as well as to see my mother’s older sister, Rosa, who flew in from Seattle. She’s 94! And my mother’s sister’s widower, John, and mother’s […]
A chilly morning this morning and now they are calling for snow! It was 77 degrees yesterday. Wow! What a change…but it’s cozy inside. This morning I was reading my Daily Light, a devotional book that I have used since I was a little girl. Each day is divided into morning and evening and is […]

I sit at my desk typing on my iMac and listening to iTunes. Yes, Steve Jobs influenced all of our lives for the better. I am saddened by his death but he gives us a powerful illustration that all of us must face death. Whether young, old, brilliant, less than smart, rich, poor, famous or […]
So much has happened…I have moved into my new house…they moved me while I was in Florida for the premier of Fear Not Tomorrow, the Worship Experience at Disney World. I left them unpacking as I left for vacation. On the way, I stopped to visit my father who seemed very tired and weak. That […]
Well…life has picked up speed! I am meeting myself coming and going. I move to a new house next week while I am in Orlando (pray that all the details fall in place)…I am going for the Experience Conference which is the national conference for worship leaders. We are presenting, Fear Not Tomorrow, a Worship […]
Wow! My assistant and I were at our desks when the house began to shake. Not quite knowing what it was, I sat still to wait for it to pass. It didn’t. A picture fell. Books toppled. It went on for quite a few minutes – probably seconds – but it felt like minutes. Finally, […]
