Thrive Don’t Simply Survive
Our Colorful World
May 18th
This week we went to the arboretum in Dallas for a concert and saw breath-taking displays of color! The Dallas Arboretum has the wonderful privilege of hosting an exhibit by the world famous artist Dale Chihuly. He has created and delicately placed his beautiful and colorful glass works of art in and amongst the flowers and plants in the gardens. It is a wonderful sight to behold, especially at night when the glass is lit in such a way that it seems to glow.
As I looked at Chihuly’s unique and original style, I couldn’t help but reflect on the fact More >
God Surprises
May 7th
Recently, Curt and I flew to Florida for a business conference, and God surprised me with several precious, new friends. One is a speaker, actress, and writer from Brentwood, Tennessee. She recognized me because we are both in a national organization called Christian Women in Media (www.CWIMA.org), and we are randomly Facebook friends as a result. Alice Breuer and I connected immediately, and we spent a great deal of time on the trip visiting about the Lord and all that He is doing in our lives. As sisters in Christ there was a deep connection between us.

Just back from a wonderful trip to New York to visit my daughter Grace. She is currently working on her masters at Pratt in the area of Community Art. As you may know, she started an afterschool art program while at Baylor called Waco Arts Initiative. Grace plans to expand the program to other cities. You can read all about this life-changing art program and the possibilities ahead at www.nextdoorarts.org I’m so thrilled for all she is doing to impact the next generation!
As I was there in New York, I also had the opportunity to speak at a Christian Women More >

There ain’t much fun in medicine,
but there’s a good deal of medicine in fun.

He who has a glad heart has a continual feast.
Proverbs 15:15b Amp
A number of years ago, Norman Cousins, famous editor of Saturday Review, was told he had a severe case of an incurable, progressive, connective tissue disease. He decided instead of sitting around allowing the pain to take over, he would become proactive in his health care management and especially his attitude. One of the things he decided to do was to obtain copies of old shows and movies he had always enjoyed like More >
Face Your Fears
Apr 9th
God is in the courage-giving business. Throughout the Bible we hear the call again and again, “Fear not, fear not for I am with you.” God’s message is one of faith and courage, not fear and trembling. From Abraham, to Joshua, to the Mary to the shepherds in the field, God has been proclaiming to the generations, “Do not be afraid.” In the Psalms we are reminded, “Even when I walk through the darkest valleys, I will not be afraid for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.” There is great comfort More >
