Sometimes God has a message for us in the oddest ways and even in the silliest situations. I pulled away from my computer and turned to hubby. "Listen to this story," I said. A baby camel looked up to his mother, "Mommy, why do we have these long eyelashes, these big...
Hubby and I agreed to get a brief video done. So I reached for my purse. "Wait a minute," I said, "let me put on some lipstick before you begin. Why can't I toss vanity out the window? But dare I say that we all have a trace of that from time to time. Some of us are...
Why did I give in? Some years ago, my friends and I walked on the soft sand in the Cabo San Lucas beaches. She elbowed me. "You're going with us. C'mon, parasailing will be fun." I frowned. "You're nuts. I'm not doing that," I said. "Going up in the air with nothing...

"We have some good news and some bad news," the airline rep announced to those of us sitting at the gate. We squirmed in our seats. "The good news is that we identified the mechanical problem with the plane," she said. "The bad news is that we need to bring a part...
Decades ago, while still in my hometown of La Paz, Bolivia, birthday celebrations were a big thing. With a handful of invitations, I ran from house to house on the dirt streets where my friends lived. Anticipation danced in my heart as I delivered them with pride...
