  • Hand Mixers, Laser Guns & Roller Coasters

    It finally happened … my hand mixer bit the dust. In all fairness, it has been around for almost 30 years! I know the timeline because my previous hand mixer turned into a laser gun. Here’s how that happened. Back in the day when small appliances, games or toys broke, David would cut off the…

  • Mean as a rattlesnake!

    As it turns out Will Rogers was right when he said, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”. Even Ms. Google concurs and goes so far as to say that a huge percentage of someone’s lasting opinion of you will be determined by their first impression. People tend to generalize relationships…

    2nd Row, Piano Side

    I’ve been serving my church and loving people from the 2nd row, piano side as a pastor’s wife for almost 50 years, and the stories just get better and better!

  • No Red Shoes in Heaven!

    Today I am absolutely certain there will be NO red shoes in heaven! I came to this conclusion yesterday as (1.) I packed away my Christmas decorations (lots of red shoes) (2.) yesterday was my mom’s birthday (certain calendar days I miss her more profoundly), and I just walked by a mirror and saw my…

    My Story

    I recently attended a seminar that began with this assignment: Tell your story before the 3-minute timer buzzed. The purpose of the assignment was this: If you only had an elevator ride to interact with a stranger, could you condense your life story (a.k.a. testimony) and introduce someone to Christ?

  • Need a Whistle?

    Need a Whistle?

    Do you need me to whistle? Getting someone to stop in their tracks (like running out in traffic sort of a thing), sending up a signal that I’m lost or just separated in a store, or just gaining attention for prayer at the start of a church fellowship dinner, these are all within my skillset.…

    A Whole Train Load!

    Leon M. Hunt would be a centurion this week, but he left us too soon. From the first time I met Leon, he called me “Baby” and I called him “Daddy”. Many memories of Daddy, like this one, still warm my heart and bring a smile to my face. It is amazing how a “freeze…

    Carry Me Please

    Momism for exhaustion: “Plumb tuckered out” “Outta soup” “Ran my horns off” – always proceeded by “DEAR GUSSIE!”
