I Really Like to Blog ... Day Planner Found!

I really do like to blog.  I like to layout the photos and the copy and go from there.  Perhaps I can credit this to being a yearbook editor in high school & college - or working for a newspaper during the summers.  Who knows - but I do like this format!

However I know that it is a bit in the past.  Most of the people I follow these days - use instagram, newsletters, or Substack.  I have a substack account too.  If I can figure out how to incorporate pictures within Substack - then I do not mind going over to that platform too.

I suspect that part of the choice is based on financial implications.  I do not think there is a way to have paid subscribers to this blog and while I am okay with that - there are several of my friends who want to be paid for their writing.  That is certainly I seek - mostly because it means I have a bunch of followers - but until that day - I am okay with just some of you reading my work!

So this is here - but I am going to try to post it across several platforms - we will see how it goes!

I lost my 2024 Day Planner.  I ordered it in December - I suspect in the middle of my mom's hospital stay and all of the things that went with that.  Up until today - I had looked for it everywhere.  Of course if you must know the truth - I have crap stacked in all kinds of places.  Mostly books - you surely know by now that I LOVE books.

Those books on the arm of the chair - were stacked beside my bedroom door.  I thought the day planner might be with the 3 stacks I had in that location - but I did not see the spiral bound planner.  However I knew those books needed to be put on the shelf.  I did not take time to actually put them in ABC order by author - but I moved the stacks to the library shelves.

And guess what .....

Fallen behind the stacks - and behind the box they were stacked upon and actually fallen into the living room below - albeit caught on the rock wall - was my planner.

There is a lesson here.  The lesson of not giving up - not moving past the goal.  In this case the goal was simply to find the planner.  I almost sat down today and ordered another copy.  But first I decided I would put up those 3 stacks of books.  I thought to myself that maybe I was just missing the spiral bound planner in the stacks - thought that moving them to a better place - might allow me to run across the planner.  

It did.  Not exactly like I had thought - but I found the planner and it is only January 17th - I have just missed a little bit of the month!!!

There are so many quotes for "keep going" - but my favorite of all time might just be the verse I featured on this blog long ago.

She did teach me about faith.  There is so much to say about my mom.  I will share those things as time goes - in little bits along the way.  Her faith was what one would say - so strong.  A strong faith.  A faith that kept her eyes on Jesus.  I never really said enough how proud I am to be her daughter.  Maybe something we don't think to say until the person who needs to hear it is gone.  But the blessings of being their adopted daughter will linger for years and years to come.  

And I will keep going - there are certainly more "planners" to find - more things to do.  Most of all - I will just keep on with whatever the task for today is.  Today - it was find that planner and decide what I need to do to accomplish the work this week - and make a list!  

Behind that scripture just might be one of my most favorite pictures of my mom.

Mindfulness - Meditation - What's with the Ms?

Several years ago I stumbled onto Dan Harris and his book - 10% Happier.

I've also read his newest book Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics.

I find it strange that I found meditation and mindfulness through the secular world rather than my growing up days in church.  But that is a difference.  The evangelical world did not promote mindfulness from this stand point.  Of course any decent growing up baptist heard the expression "quiet time".  But that quiet time always included a bible - maybe a devotional book - but I certainly did not read the same language, hear the same thoughts that authors like Dan Harris discuss.

Sometimes I think that is my (personal) issue with the religion I grew up with - many times - it almost got to the point - but that is really another topic for another day.

Mindfulness - Meditation - ?

On that bookshelf with the Dan Harris' books is a duplicate of a Jen Hatmaker book.  I wonder if anyone reading this blog would like that extra copy?  If so - message me on Facebook and I can get it to you!

That bookshelf is a bit of a great example of my mind - and also a great example of why mindfulness & meditation can be such a good thing.  Growing up - my mother actually taught me something similar but we did not call it one of those names.  There would be times in my life that she knew I just needed a diversion - 

She would tell me to go play the piano.  

Of course on this very day - the piano is rather difficult to get to (there is a legitimate reason why this room is a mess - more on that later!)   But soon - I can - just like soon I will be able to get to the book shelf too.

I have continued this study of Mindfulness and Meditation - now I have overlapped the study with a spiritual - religious side.  And for those of you who regularly practice yoga - I suspect I am speaking your language - but you are so much more fluent that me!  I suspect that the pausing of the mind in the yoga practice is a huge component of why we hear that yoga is so good for us.  

The study of the Mystics are a great avenue to learn more about the practice of meditation and mindfulness.  I have enjoyed the work of James Finley - Thomas Merton - Richard Rohr and the activities and practices of "The Center for Action and Contemplation".  I know I have much more to learn.

Link to Center for Action & Contemplation.

I have also found children's books that talk about these practices.  I find myself buying them quickly to share with the precious 4 in my life.  

Of course something to discuss here is the Buddhist faith and my assumption that Mindfulness & meditation is very relevant to those practicing - (from what I can tell).  I have certainly found that reading and learning from that faith can add to my understanding of mindfulness & meditation.  And let me be honest - referencing the Catholic faith (as I did with Finley, Merton, Rohr) would have not happened during my growing up years - and I certainly would never have referenced or even spoke of the Buddha.  

If you noticed - one of the books that I have for the grandkids is a book about the Dali Lama.  Again - never something I would have discussed growing up.  My faith - my beliefs - my way of life was very confined to what I heard at that baptist church.  And while what I heard had many wonderful things that I still cling to in this day - there are things that I have added to learn about that have made a difference too.  

Honestly - what all of these things have in common - and I will include my dad in this group too.  My dad was my first spiritual teacher - and my dad along with all of these other references would start first with Love.  

I suspect when we are serious about mindfulness and meditation - we find Love is more abundant.

Free Indeed

“I am chosen - not forsaken - I am who you say I am .... Who the Son sets free oh is free indeed”

A couple of weeks ago we had the amazing opportunity to witness 2 baptisms. And one of them left my son embracing his wife. It was one of my most favorite memories ever. 

I gave Daughter One a card that day. Here is my thought on baptism ... “Baptism is something you will always remember - it is one act in this God centered life that helps us think about & be reminded to pattern our lives after Jesus.”

We probably view baptism differently than each other. I am so completely okay with that. But sometimes we get so caught up in our own personal beliefs that we miss Hebrews 12:15.  

I believe that’s our biggest challenge. We are passionate & convicted of our beliefs but we cannot force or expect that for others.  In each of our lives we will hear and respond to God.  But in each response - it is a personal response. I am a child of God because God says I am. 

I’m a child of God because The Divine says I am. 

There’s not a rule book - not a requirement list - not a certain church - certain belief. You may believe that those things are important & necessary. I Love being around you - I love listening to your convictions - I love knowing the story of your life. But I want you to value the same in me. Don’t just love me because you think I agree with you. Love me for whatever I believe as I am doing for you. And yes I know - it’s not easy and both of us will be wrong at times. 

“You’re a child of God - you were chosen not forsaken God is for you not against you”

The lyrics of the song are based on John 8:36. Have you read John 8 lately? Oh my heavens - I feel like I’m reading a back & forth discussion that gets no where. For me I am not questioning Jesus at all - I really am free. 

But that’s the way this life is - messy and back & forth. But Love wins. We know that. I hope for the times when that knowledge of Love & who we are reminds us how to live this God centered life. In the end - we must be sure that no one misses out on grace. 

My friend Neal said to me today “We’re pretty serious about the love stuff” - we all should be - we can all LOVE BETTER. 

Yes we can.

Story behind "Who You Say I Am"

Who You Say I Am Lyrics & Song

Construction Phase .....

Daddy,
Thank you for being God's Love.  Thank you for saying with each prayer - "Father thank you for loving us."  You taught me love in so many ways.  But you also taught me who God is.  Knowing that God is Love has proved my literal saving grace forever.  There are so many conversations I want to have with you today about God.  I think I need to hear your opinion.  But if I am honest- I already have - God's Love meant everything to you.  And it is how you treated others - you lived God's Love in all that you did. 


Sometimes we look and we cannot see things the way we might should.

The typical view that I would choose is the picture above.  This is out my front door - the one I go in and out all the time.  I think it is a beautiful picture.  I love the colors - the definitions - just really think it is pretty.

Same skyline - from a different vantage point - this time my side yard.  Typically Kerry feeds our dogs - today I did.  Or  maybe typically when I feed the dogs because I do that (not as much as him) I don't take time to look toward the western sky.  

And this close up view nearly took my breath away.

Same skyline - same home - same.

But yet not at all the same.

There is a God story in these pictures for me.  In the popular religious circles of today there is a word that is being used.  I think it has been around for about 5 - maybe 10 years.  This word of "reconstruction".  The time in life when one looks at what they believe - how they believe and decide to do something different with the knowledge.  

Look at the last bullet point ... an impression, model, or re-enactment of a past event formed from the available evidence.

That is where I am.  And while that definition is so incredibly vague to me - I think I can explain.  I am not sure that this is where others on this journey are - or if they would even agree with my interpretation of the reconstruction definition - but for me this is where I am .... today.

I am finding that while some things seem new - they are in fact really not.  I mentioned to Kerry last night that it almost aggravates me at times because I wonder why it has taken until 54 to figure some of this out.  He reminded me that I have learned a whole bunch of stuff about other areas of life as time has gone - why would this God journey be any different.

He is right.  I have always had somewhat of an impression that I should understand all the God stuff just perfectly - like right now.  That what I knew growing up should be what I know.  If it is God and I have to know God for all the things of life and the after life to fall into place- then surely I understand the God part in its entirety or at least enough to get where I surely want to go.

Good heavens.  Seriously - such a naive approach to life.  

Of course God is not something for me to completely understand and figure out completely today - or yesterday and probably not tomorrow either.  But I can go back to my original viewpoint and see.  I can look to the same spot from a slightly different vantage point - but yet still be in truth and see new.

I was still in my home.  I was still Cheryl looking at the western skyline.  The foundation was the same - I just took a different vantage point.  But the western skyline was still the western skyline.

This is what is happening to me right now.  

My foundation was formed a long time ago.  I suspect it was formed as she carried me from Florida to Tennessee back to Texas before I was born.  Then they carried me throughout Texas and raised me almost exactly how she would have raised me.  I have learned about the birth family and to use an expression of old - they are a "God fearing" family.  The messages I have received about my grandparents - the stories that are told all show their foundation in God's Love.  Her life is also an example of God's Love.  She is still today a living breathing evidence of God's Love.  

The same is true for the couple who raised me - my parents.  Everyday of my life I knew of God's Love.  I felt love - I lived in love.

And so Love is taking me on this journey to examine what I believe to be true about God.  Jesus is guiding the path - I am looking at what I know to be true - the foundation - but I am also looking to God from all kinds of vantage points.  The foundation has not changed.  The views to see him are multiplying. 

That was the message in 1989 - the other side is below and hangs on my kitchen wall today ...

Continue reading I John 4 - it is a wonderful chapter about God's Love.

"Dear friends, if God loved us this way, we ought to love each other.  No one has ever seen God.  If we love each other, God remains in us and his love is made perfect in us." 4:11-12, CEB.

Growing up in that wonderful church in Perrin - we used to sing a song ....

There is no fear in love - but a perfect love casteth out all fear.

For fear hath torment and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We love him because he first loved us and I will not be silent.

I will praise his name forever - for my God is Love.  

God is Love.

Always, May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14.

Let's Drive 55

Do you remember the Drive 55 campaign?  I am not even sure why I do or if it is even real but it seems to be rolling around in my head.

This guy turned 55 last month with one that turned 4!

K5 and K4 at her birthday celebration.

This girl left 55 this month.

Sarah & Cheryl (Sarah left 55 .... I am not quite there yet ...)

Both are 2 of my most favorite people on the planet.

We celebrated K4's birthday in our favorite place.  We have been going to Las Vegas for his birthday since 1998.

Bit ironic to notice this posting in the casinos - we have certainly found our way to the desert for a long time!

For us Vegas is also about family and hanging out with his brother and our sister in law.  We have so much fun and this year certainly did not disappoint.

Isn't this sandwich amazing from Robert Irvine's in Vegas.

Luxor - the first place we stayed!  This year we just left our donation.

Getting ready for dinner at Piero's!!!  The most amazing place - Come to find out we have pretty cool connections because we sat at the Owner's Table!  Seriously Russell made the reservations for us for K4's birthday.  We had a wonderful time and the wine & food were amazing.  It wasn't until the end of the meal that we figured out just how special we were!  

That experience at Piero's was so much fun.  I loved what the Wine Director said to us ...

How did you get in here?

I am thinking she hasn't said that very often.  I suspect that most of the time she knows the guests in the room that is set aside for Las Vegas locals.   

It did not bother me at all that she asked.  I found it absolutely hilarious and so much fun and a story I will simply never forget!!!

I wonder though - are there people that ever feel that way in our churches?  Who all gets the:

How did you get in here? question.

The homeless.

The young.

The democrat.

The republican.

The girl.

The boy.

The gay man.

The gay woman.

The transgender woman.

The transgender man.

The person who looks different than the rest in the crowd.

The wealthy.

The poor.

Do we ever wonder if our Jesus can really be the Jesus for each of them?  I honestly don't think we go that far - because we believe that we are right.  We believe that our set up is THE set up.  We believe that ultimately unless those listed above fit our mold that just maybe they really won't get in here.  And if for some crazy reason they end up in our churches - we can convert them.  We can make sure they are meeting the qualifications for OUR church.

Our preacher challenged us this week to be "Jesus all the time".  

What in the world does it mean to be "Jesus all the time"?????

Sometimes I think we forget.  

Her birthday was so much fun......

Me, Sarah, Janean, & Nancy

Sarah & Nancy live in Dallas - Janean lives in Mississippi.  And you know where I live!  We had the best time having Sarah's birthday dinner in Jacksboro!  Our food was amazing.  Sarah and I have been friends since junior high.  She was my best friend at one point in time and then for about 30 years - I vanished.

I am pretty sure I vanished in part because I quit being Jesus and life gets really - really busy.  I could have felt like I did not fit in her world - and  I am quite sure she wasn't even sure about my world at all.  Not one bit.  Even though we were the best of friends in high school - our worlds were really quite different.

Except we are really quite the same.

Both adopted.

Both loved basketball.

Both love horses (okay Sarah loves horses - I just think they are really pretty and I love the horse races)

Both have lost one parent.

Both have a deep sense of purpose.

Both love.

I am so thankful that Sarah is back in this crazy life of mine.  Or maybe I am thankful to be in Sarah's life.  Never again will I vanish.  Because if I vanish - I am the one that misses out.

We really don't have to have everything in common to love.  We don't have to completely understand the other person to just be Jesus when we are in their presence.  Why do we think we have to agree - or have to believe exactly the same thing to really be friends?  In reality how boring life would be without people who are different than me.  

The challenge is worth accepting.  

At the end of that wonderful 55th birthday trip to Las Vegas - the most amazing event occurred on the plane ride home.  If you follow me on social media you have heard me mention it several times.  

He sat beside us.  Introduced himself.  I realized pretty quickly I had little in common...

He wasn't adopted.

He did not play basketball.

He is a GM at a department store - I hate to shop.

His parents are alive.

He isn't from Texas!

But he does have a deep sense of purpose and he certainly knows how to love.  

He recognized the potential for friends (or hopefully not rude Texans) when he sat by us.  K4 told him about the lake - we talked about other unique places to see in our part of this world.  Then he asked what book I was reading.  After I shared the title ... 

Then he asked - What led up to this?  or maybe he asked How did you get here?

It has certainly been a journey for me and while I know that even the person that I was would have enjoyed meeting and talking to him on a plane years ago; the person today viewed that encounter as a divine intervention.  A moment when I believed that God was working actively in my life - the first question the preacher asked last week.

Do you believe that God is actively working in your life?

Challenge:  Talk (Be) Jesus all the time.

At the end of the journey - me & Erich - the GM from Nordstrom's

I Love....1976

1976 - or 1970 - or just the 70s...

How many amazing songs were released in 1976?  I bet the list is really long.  But thanks to TV commercials - there's one that runs in my head quite a bit....

And oh my heavens I am thankful for the invention of Alexa Show!!!

Keep It Coming' Love by KC & the Sunshine Band

When I was younger - I would play songs over and over and over on my 8 Track player or Cassette player - just depends upon what decade we are discussing - until I had all the words written down to the song.  I wanted to memorize the lyrics - I wanted to sing along.  

Now I have Alexa Show!!!!  (thank you to those kids last Mother's Day- what a great gift!!!).

And some songs I find that I did not know about before - like this one from 1970 ,,,,

Into The Mystic by Van Morrison

Music - just makes such a difference in my life.  And much to my mother's (and husband's) chagrin - I love the blare the music too!!!

Even at the office today - I heard an old song and thought - I need to know those words.  I also mentioned that I needed to know how to dance too.  I wish I could dance.  It is probably the one thing (okay there might be more than one) but one thing from my very conservative growing up days that is such an injustice.  Not learning how to dance is almost tragic to this girl!

Injustice.

Not really.  But I do wonder.  I wonder about all the rules - what in the world did I miss because of the rules?  What in Jesus' world did I miss because of the rules.

I heard someone say last week "I wish we had rules - I like rules".

Not me.  Because I have this inside churning to do it just the opposite if the rules states something.  If you cannot convince me that the rule makes sense - I am done.  I need to clarify - I did not expect this behavior from my children.  In fact it bothered me immensely when they did not follow rules.  I do think there is a fine line between disrespect and challenge.  Sometimes we should not challenge.  (the best part of this... my children never read what I write - I wonder if they will read this!  Can it be our secret???)

But with Jesus, the Bible, scripture - I think we should always challenge.

Really I do.

Challenge what you have learned - make sure it matches what you are reading.

Which brings me to the next point.

Reading.  I read a bunch.  Sometimes I finish the book - sometimes I don't.  But I always learn.  I have found that I must finish reading though - because if I don't finish I may miss the most important part.  But reading is a valuable part of my life.  It is about learning.  One of my favorite bosses in the whole world had us doing book studies each year.  I think that was some of the most valuable times.  As an administrative team we could read and discuss.  Many times I learned even more as we discussed the book and what the words meant to us individually.  To read is to expand - to grow - to learn.

We certainly do not have to believe everything we read.  We do not have to accept what the other person says as the gospel (literally or figuratively) but we can grow in the knowledge of God by reading what others are thinking.

So what am I reading right now.....

That of course is the book on tape that I am listening to.  Earlier this year I was reading books about Meditation (Dan Harris &  Light Watkins) - now I have found another author that discusses Christian Contemplation.  This is a very interesting subject to  me - and Phileena Heuertz is an author that intrigues me.  I believe I have much to learn from her.

But this is the stack beside my bed ...

Please notice the Rosary beads hanging from the lamp....  that is for another blog on another day ...

And one that I keep coming back to - and want to write about - but haven't put the words together yet...

And I am still listening to Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic".  That song is inspiring another blog post - one about the mystery of this life - the mystic being that we all are.  Oh heavens - I am so thankful for music

And Jesus.

Lady bugs... always remind me of Lisa - our secretary who has been gone for almost 3 years.  This one landed on my computer as I was listening to "Into the Mystic" - go figure.... 

Kerry & me with my mom at a Cmas function at the place she lives.  Don't you know to an 82 year old photo booths are a weird thing?????

What Will She Think?

We were sitting at the baseball park watching her brother and she runs over and says, "this is my momma, my Uncle Willy, and my Mimi" - as she shows her new friend her family.

My Mimi

Those words might just be some of the best in my life.  Grandparents understand.  There is just something about being someone's.

My grandma lived in a different time.  She was born in 1900 - and she lived almost the entire 1900s - leaving earth in 1995.  She saw a whole bunch of stuff.  But she did wonder why we had one of those in our wedding.

One of our groomsman's is a black man.

My grandmother had taken on the same viewpoint of many white people during those days.  I only wish that "those days" were in the past - but I am not naive - they aren't - 

However - what will she think about me?  Will she be thinking what I have been thinking for a while - and particularly this week.

The "Buried Truths" podcast just honestly breaks my heart.  I wish it was just a fictional story that I am listening to.  Instead it is a brutal truth of what happened in our world in the 1940s, 1950s etc...  It is a horrible account of what happened to a couple of men that chose to vote - a couple of black men who chose to vote and chose to help other black citizens vote.  

Civil Rights. 

I wonder what she will think.  She won't have to worry about her Mimi supporting the ridiculous actions that are described in Buried Truths.  The prejudice behaviors of whites against blacks are easy to deny and speak against.  I honestly hope that my grandmother would have joined me.  

My grandma was a good person - I just hope that it was a lack of education and a lack of understanding - and honestly a lack of reading those red letters in the Bible and truly believing that they apply to EVERYONE.  I hope that is who she was.

But what about me.

What will she say about her Mimi?

Will she say that I was uneducated, not an understanding person, not tolerant, and that I really did not grasp those red letters?

This podcast episode on "Hidden Brain" spurred these thoughts this week.  One quote from the podcast is "... how do you convince people who once slaughtered each other to join hands and make peace? Is it possible to change a person's deepest beliefs?"

I realize we are not "slaughtering" each other in the true sense of the word - but who am I slaughtering with my thoughts - with my lack of understanding - with my less than loving ways spilling out?

I have a new friend.  She is the author of a book I am reading.  

Sara's book "How We Sleep at Night" is her story and one that just grips my heart.  

Fear can make one do some pretty stupid things.  I am convinced that fear makes your brain stop working.  Really.  Seriously.  I grew up in a society that used fear as a method of discipline and honestly for me it worked.

It has never worked for my children and I suspect it won't work for her.  I know that I will have to explain my reasons to her and I best come with an answer of proof rather than "we have always looked at it that way".

So before I stand on the premise that I get to decide who receives God's favor and who doesn't - I better know.  And I better have red letters to support.

I follow a Red Letter Christian's podcast with Tony Campolo and Shane Claiborne.  I found this article today on the website...

Here's the link to the article - Stand .  Mr. Caldwell said exactly what I have been trying to say in this blog.  

I have dear friends, family, people I know who are a part of the LGBTQ community.  

I don't have all the answers - to ANY of our questions.  

I do know that I do not want her to wonder what her Mimi thought.

Her Mimi loves - that is what I want her to think.

One day my mom's earthly body will lay with this stone.  This scripture has defined my mom - she has always sought His help and recognized that her help has always come from the Lord.

My dad always spoke of love.  He began every prayer with the phrase "Father thank you for loving us."

I never talked to my dad about the LGBTQ community.  But there is no doubt in my mind as to how he would respond.  

With love. 

Matthew 22:34-40, NLT

I know this scripture.  However look closely at verse 40 - a verse I forget to quote when I am saying the Love your God part...

Verse 40.  The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.  

I am the first to tell you that because "I love you then I feel compelled to share my viewpoint.  I know you need to see it my way.  I am right because I understand what God intended.  I know.  You don't. Blah Blah Blah."

But really - just LOVE.  And sometimes that means Stand and open our arms rather than our mouths.

Why do we make that so hard?

Life is the Miracle

Since June we have been fervently praying for a divine miracle.

A miracle to rid a body of cancer.

A miracle to keep our friend here on earth.

My instagram post states it all perfectly:

I truly believe that Darrell brought out the best in so many of us - maybe every person that he encountered.

We are a better people when he is in the room.

Now it is different.  We won't physically hear his voice say "Isn't it Great to be a Christian".

The responsibility is ours.

I have decided that the miracle of all of this isn't the healing (alone).  The miracle is our life.  He did not miss out on the miracle - His life was the miracle.

And he lived that miracle.

The family will tell you that they have heard so many stories - so many people that he impacted - so many people that he helped.

All of that was because he believed that it is great to be a Christian.

We are a blessed people because we called Darrell Weatherbee our friend.
