Guess Who I Met?

December 28th, 2012|

For the last blogging months on my web site every Friday’s blog has been about someone new I have met along my life journey. I have many more to share with you, but today at the end of 2012 I wanted to pay tribute to some of the great and wonderful people I have […]

Wealthy?

December 27th, 2012|

I hope your Christmas was filled with joy and His presence. The challenge has always been to keep the real focus of the celebration of Christmas in balance with all the busy December dates and events, shopping, budgeting, food preparations and anticipating family and all they bring to your table. Our McFamily Thanksgiving and […]

Merry Christmas!

December 24th, 2012|

I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them. -Isaiah 42:16 NKJV

Merry Christmas to you!

What joy! What good news! […]

In Loving Memory of My Husband, Tony McWilliams

December 21st, 2012|

In loving memory usually denotes some comments long after a life is over.

However, Tony is alive and well and today we celebrate the joy of Christmas once more.

Though my husband lives, he has died to himself on so many levels while loving me these past thirty-four years of marriage. No man could have demonstrated […]

Merry Christmas, Lydia!

December 20th, 2012|

Christmas this year has no dazzle or interest for me. I usually love any Christmas music and can’t wait in the fall to begin playing it, but this year I cry when it is on. Putting up our large tree at Thanksgiving is always a highlight, and gifts are my love language—giving them that is. […]

Weeping the Loss

December 17th, 2012|

Loss of any kind is hard, but when it comes to your elementary child in a needless shooting at their school, it is beyond understanding. The world is in shock over the senseless slaughter of 20 innocent elementary students in Newtown, Connecticut and 6 staff, when a deranged gunman stormed Sandy Hook Elementary School […]

Driving Again

December 13th, 2012|

Recently, I noticed my Texas I.D. was expired. I must have overlooked its importance on my last birthday while celebrating another year. However, I suddenly knew I must address the little card since I was speaking in another state, and the TSA Agent at the airport would be attentive to what I had failed […]

Guess Who I Met: Star Parker!

December 7th, 2012|

I had the joy of having dinner and sharing the green room one night with Star Parker before taping the television show, “Life Today, with James and Betty Robison.” The outside marquee read, “Star Parker” with the second line saying, “Gail McWilliams.” It looked like I was being honored as the valet super-star of the […]

Choking

December 6th, 2012|

Amazing are the long lasting effects of the perfect storm, Sandy, this fall. My friend, Carl, was in NYC, working last week when a piece of meat got lodged in his esophagus . Beyond his meal being rudely interrupted, and the table full of clients thinking he was having a heart attack, he could […]

McKnocking

December 3rd, 2012|

I am often asked, “Gail, what do you see?” This of course is a sensible question since losing my eyesight gradually giving birth to five miracle children.

I often tell people they look ten pounds lighter and their hair looks awesome and the clothes they are wearing the coolest. Usually, it is met with laughter […]
