Seeing Beyond in The Chicken Car

April 1st, 2013|

One day I decided to show gratitude to my dear friend, Judy, on her birthday. The only problem was finding a way to execute my idea. I loved this friend who had given of her time and gasoline to drive me on errands each week. Our times together developed a close friendship and gave us […]

Guess Who I Met: Pope Benedict XVI

March 1st, 2013|

In March of 2010 we took our youngest children, Lydia and Connor, with us to Europe. I spoke fifteen times in eighteen days in the nation of Spain. After a grueling schedule and long days, we ended our Europe trip by spending three days in Rome. Though I write on Fridays who I have […]

Supersize It!

February 27th, 2013|

Have you ever been asked at a fast-food restaurant, “Care to super-size your order?” For only a few cents more, you can have your drink and fries super-sized to the largest available. What a deal! More sugar, fat and salted grease—for a savings.  America in general has enlarged their portions and super-sized plates of […]

34 Hours!

February 13th, 2013|

Last weekend my speaking assignments took me to Lynchburg, Virginia, to speak at Liberty University. Our flight left at noon so we were afforded half a day to work in the office before catching our US Air out of DFW. With nine minutes to spare after going through security, we stood at the gate […]

A new month has begun; the ground hog has emerged from his hole and the Super Bowl championship decided. Did you watch? Some love the game while others love the show. Award winning commercials, food galore and a reason to party is inviting. Cheering from the sidelines, beyond the ticketed seats, include people watching […]

Guess Who I Met: Eileen Smith

January 25th, 2013|

Years ago I met someone who has become one of my dearest friends. We met while waiting to be interviewed on a television show. She was to be a guest too, and we became immediate friends before the camera lights turned on. Eileen has a story that makes any mother shudder and her face […]

Thanks for Life

January 22nd, 2013|

To those of you who show up to help, to volunteer, to work and to fight on the front lines, saving lives, sharing hope, pleading with those who can’t see the value of life—thank you.

Thank you for your courage, and willingness to shed light on seemingly blind eyes. What you do does not go […]

Guess Who I Met: Lydia Ellison McWilliams

January 4th, 2013|

I want to highlight an international figure that is impacting her generation. I have known her well all her life. From a young girl I said, “She would rock nations,”—and she is. The joy of this incredible young woman is that she is our youngest daughter, Lydia Ellison McWilliams.

Watching Lydia tackle life has been […]

Out with the Old and In with the New

January 3rd, 2013|

Out with the old and in with the new is appropriate as we have stepped across the threshold of a new season. What will this year hold? More important, what is in your reach? What are you holding from last year that impairs you from grabbing the New Year with promise?
