how to develop leaders

Guess Who I Met: Shannon Grove

October 26th, 2012|

A few years ago, Tony and I had the joy of hosting a Senator and his family in Texas. We all were invited to the Governor’s prayer rally event held in Houston at the Reliant Stadium. We also brought our son, Connor, who was15 at the time. It was an incredible event. We had […]

Hold That Door!

October 22nd, 2012|

In the fall I spoke for a two-day conference, one hour from our home. My faithful and worn out husband was taking the weekend off since arrangements had been made for me to be helped by some others. I had just landed at the DFW airport since I was coming from some speaking engagements in […]

Guess Who I Met: Tony Evans

October 19th, 2012|

Our family is originally from the Midwest. While raising our children in Central Illinois, I enjoyed doing my work with the radio on, tuned into our Christian network. It was a friend to me and at times a lifeline in those busy years of child rearing.  My laundry room was tucked away with its […]

Home Improvements

October 18th, 2012|

Have you ever considered your home and its far reaching possibilities? It is more than merely a place to lie down at night and store all the things you own. Whether your home is large or small, leased or owned, you are living in a multiple faceted place for diverse opportunities to impact your […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
