For some of you, it’s your first Mother’s Day, Congratulations!  For others, it’s your first without your mom & of course, I am so sorry for you.  For others, you’ve been without your mom for more than a year & I’m sure it’s still difficult.  And then there are those moms out there who are without their precious child… how in the world can you get through a day called “Mother’s Day” when you have a deceased child?  How do you do it?!!  I know!  Because you Moms can do anything!!!  To all you wonderful Moms out there, I sincerely hope you have a pleasant, relaxing day:)  Know that you are loved & genuinely appreciated!!

I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in so long, but I’m still dealing with spam issues, yuk!  But you know… such is life, ya know…  As we press on in life, we gotta deal with all kinds of ‘spam’ so to speak.  Afterall… it’s reality.  In other words, everybody’s fighting something & I believe everybody’s pretty much doing their best in life for the most part, don’t u?!

It’s so cool that so many turned out in downtown Waco to honor our Coach Kim & the Lady Bears for their perfect season of 40 wins!  Just absolutely outstanding!!  Way to go Ladies!!!  To you too Coach Ellen White!  Your Equestrian team is awesome!!  Outstanding!!!  And to top it off… how ’bout our baseball team!!!  Way to go Coach Steve Smith!  Fantastic!!!  Most winning coach in any sport in the history of Baylor Universtity!!!  WOW!!!  Kudos to you, Ian McCaw!  You’re doing a most awesome job!  Keep up the excellent work!!!  Sic ‘em Bears!!

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the day Titanic sank.  You know… it’s really just the opposite – in a way – of the story of Noah’s Ark.  Noah built a ship, which stood up to the only world-wide flood, having saved God’s beloved creatures, the animals!  Hundreds of years later, the world’s experts built a ship, which sunk simply due to the fact that it wasn’t navigated properly & it apparently wasn’t built properly.  I’m not really sure what to make of all this… except that Noah followed God’s guidance & direction while Titantic’s craftsman were probably just out to impress others!  I wonder what God would rather they had done…  I wonder if we’re doing something other than what He wants us to do…

It was so fun watching the exciting championship game!  Already looking forward to next season!  I’ll plan to b on Facebook & Twitter with updates that r either game related, telling a personal story r sharing valuable info about my calling to help folks thru difficult stages of life as we all go thru ‘em…

Yes, it’s For Real!  Life!  Renewal!  Reunion!  The After-Life!  He’s Alive!  He said He’d do it & He did!  He did it for U!  And for me!  For our friends & family too!!  Share the Good News, Christ is Risen!!!  You believe in Him… you’ll live again as well!  Hallelujah!!!  Thank The Lord:)

Congratulations to Baylor & her Lady Bears!  Way to go Coach Kim Mulkey!  We are proud!

Sorry, I forgot to blog for a while!  It’s not that I haven’t had plenty about which to chat… it’s just that I forgot to chat.  I’ve been victim to quite a lotta spam on this site, boo-hiss!!  So I guess I’ve been concentrating on that rather than chatting with U & I apologize.  Saturday, I got to make a very pleasant day-trip to the Dallas Arboretum, which I highly recommend.  It’s beautiful!  Boy… talk about stopping to smell the roses!!!  Just do it!  Stop!  Take a moment, stop & smell the roses:)  May your roses b abundant & may your buttercups overfloweth;)

Isn’t it weird how we can just change our clocks if we want, if the gov tells us to?!  Realize though that we’re not changing time, we’re just changing our clocks.  Let’s don’t fool ourselves.  I think it’s cool that in Heaven, there is no time.  I woulda liked to have lived back when there were no clocks, only I woulda wanted the conveniences of today of course!  But of course;)  Today, as u set your clocks up an hour, let it serve as an alarm, to get u going… isn’t it time to plan that funeral (pre-arrange)… isn’t it time to mend that relationship… to hire that licensed counselor… to do this… to do that…  isn’t it time, really?!!  Let’s jus do it!!
