Living Life to the MAXX!

October 15th, 2012|

Last Saturday I had the joy of being a keynote speaker for a company called, “DYNA-MAXX.”  Their enthusiasm for life and its potential was contagious.  The audience of several hundred laughed, cried , applauded and determined to take it to the next level.  Afterwards, talking with many at my book table enriched my own […]

Guess Who I Met: John Hagee

October 12th, 2012|

During the years my husband was a pastor in Illinois, we attended a pastor’s conference at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, pastored by John Hagee. It was outstanding, and the limited attendees kept it intimate with personal time to get to know others well.

Friends of ours from Georgia were some of the guest speakers […]

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 […]

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 […]

Need a Hand? Part II

September 13th, 2012|

It is a known statistic that 20% do 80% of the work in the church. I would guess it to be the same, or lower, in any organization or club, as well. Look around and see if someone is in need of your hand today. Momma, take the courage to lay the dishtowel down and […]

Dressed in Navy

July 3rd, 2012|

Anchors away… My eyes filled with tears while the orchestra played and the choir performed the most rousing musical salute to all who had served in the armed forces. As each theme song was played for the specific military branch, my 78-year-old father, who is a United States Navy Veteran,  stood to be honored […]

McRecording in the Dark

June 28th, 2012|

Care to know my behind the scenes secrets for recording my new daily radio features being released around the nation? You may forget, like most, that I do not use any notes or scripts, nor can I even see the clock! Hitting the time mark each show is a bit of a challenge—only because […]
