Foreign Exchange?

October 11th, 2012|

One day while living on the campus of Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas, a maintenance man came to wax our floors. I began a conversation to acquaint myself with this international student who had come to the U.S. for Bible training. He told me that he was from Romania. While he worked I […]

Facing a Challenge

October 8th, 2012|

Facing a challenge? One of the most challenging things for me on a weekly basis is church and the “meet and greet” time. You know, when the Pastor says to take a few minutes and greet those around you before sitting down. Without sight, I never know if I am shaking someone’s hand or […]

Guess Who I Met: Senator William Ligon

October 5th, 2012|

In a day when people have become cynical about politicians on both sides of the aisle, they often lump all of them into the same heap with career gluttons and ineffective history makers with little to no backbone. However, each office holder has a story and life outside the public eye. What incredible joy it […]

In a Flash

October 4th, 2012|

A few years ago I spoke fifteen times in eighteen days in the nation of Spain.  My books were translated into Spanish and our first international transaction was completed. Our trip included my husband, Tony, and our youngest children, Lydia and Connor. We also brought our own  interpreter and translator of our books, Raquel, […]

Standing Alone

October 1st, 2012|

Have you ever had something strike you funny and you were where no one was laughing?

Years ago, I visited my brother in Chicago where he was living at the time. During my stay, we attended a special service at his church.  It makes me laugh now as I remember the horror of getting tickled […]

Guess Who I Met: James and Betty Robison

September 28th, 2012|

Several months after meeting my dear friend, Zig Ziglar, I received a call from the producer of “Life Today” with hosts, James and Betty Robison.  They asked me to be a guest on their television show.  I wish then I had listened to Zig’s encouragement days before to write a book on my life […]

Visual Acuity

September 24th, 2012|

When we moved to Dallas in 2000 I was excited to finally be living in a city where even a blind woman could get a license! Have you seen the drivers here? I think they cannot see clearly either.

Eyesight might be essential for driving but vision is what will drive you. Nothing is impossible. […]

Guess Who I Met: Melody Green

September 21st, 2012|

One of my fall speaking engagements was held at the Sheraton Hotel Convention Center in Overland Park, Kansas, for a non-profit organization. I had been asked to be the key-note speaker and team with them to raise their budget that year.

The setting was a ballroom that was filled to overflowing. Nearly a thousand met […]

Scams

September 20th, 2012|

I received two scams in the last 24 hours that were slick. One was a speaking invitation from England and the other notification of an inheritance of a dead relative. Both sounded appealing and were well written and almost believable. What if one day I really miss my millions and refuse a trip to […]

Still McReaching II

September 17th, 2012|

Admittedly, it was a bit disconcerning to be booked on a flight to the east coast at the same time hurricane Irene was arriving. What once seemed like a special treat to be lodged on an island in the Golden Isles of Georgia, while speaking to several audiences, suddenly seemed comical and understandable—discounted rates […]
