Who’s The Rival?
It's only a commercial. But it's a powerful one. At least to me. It stars Houston Texan's Defensive End, JJ Watt. It's a Gatorade® commercial. In it, JJ says "Find a rival. Someone committed to taking you down." He's talking to athletes and encouraging them to...
This Is The Way. Walk In It.
Noise. Lots of it. TV. Traffic. Chatter. Social media. Friends. Radio. Video Games. Kids. Adults. Life. A lot of things are clammering for our attention these days. There is noise everywhere. So much we can't take it on a lot of days. We need to stop. Listen. Sort....
It’s A Brand New Day!
I heard it said that when you wake up you have two ways to greet the day. A) Good morning, Lord!❤️ B) Good Lord, it's morning!???? It made me laugh when I heard it but it really stuck with me. We do have two choices and whether we say those words, say other words or...

Slow and Steady Does Not Always Win.
There he was in the middle of the road. Neck stretched like a toe in a pair of pantyhose. His four short, stubby legs carrying that hard shell across the heated blacktop. Slow and steady. I drove on the other side of the road to avoid him. I looked in my rear view...
Rest. Relaxation. And A Little Jesus.
The sight of soft lights. The sound of soothing waterfalls. The smell of lavender lotion. The taste of cucumber water. The feel of tranquil, relaxation. I recently experienced my first all-day spa experience. I had a massage early in the morning and then enjoyed the...
Black and Feisty and Perfect All Over.
My daughter got a kitten. She's wanted a kitten for a few years so we told her she could certainly adopt one... when she got her own place. Texas became her home and Riggins found his home with her. He's a sweet little kitten. All black. Male. Soft. Long and...
