Update on Bonnie



"When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder
who stands a chance against us?"
Pam Brown


This is my favorite “Sisters” photo.  Bonnie is the blonde hugging me, Judy is the redhead next to me, and brunette Tammie behind her.  How’s that for variety?

Thank you, friends, for helping me  pray for Bonnie whom I mentioned in my post just a month ago, June 11.  She was vacationing in Las Vegas and was rushed to Sunrise Hospital for immediate surgery for a brain aneurysm.  It was such a dangerous time, but your loving prayers got us through.  She began to respond and yesterday, she was airlifted back to Chicago where she is in rehab in a hospital close to home.  She is beginning to talk!  She responded accurately to the nurse who asked her to say her birth date.  

My family and I thank you and we appreciate  every prayer for Bonnie!  

Mark 16:18 “And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

    Oh Mary what a lovely photo of you and your sisters! I'm so happy to hear that Bonnie is on the mend now, and what a comfort it is to know that our Father is in control of every situation, working in it and through it.
    Love , hugs & prayers coming your way and for Bonnie and your family.

    Such wonderful news! Like you, I have 3 sisters. I know what a joy they are; and how worrisome it would be should even one of them have so great a struggle as Bonnie.

    Praying God's continued mercies & healing.

The Venomous Intruder

It’s the middle of rattlesnake season here on the ranch.  The local news anchor confirmed it.   I’ve seen two already.    While driving along our dirt road yesterday, I mistook a virulent enemy for a branch. I backed up the car, looked again and noticed the branch shifted revealing a rattle at its end. At one of our road association meetings in the barn, Shelby stood up and shouted, “ BOB !” to my next door neighbor.  He’s our vice president and the one all eyes were on as he gave a presentation in the middle of the room.  I sensed fear in the way she yelled his name.  I learned after the meeting that Shelby called out to him like that because she saw a rattler slither in the barn door where she and I sat.  Bob yielded to the interruption and quietly dispatched the enemy.  Ten minutes later, this tough guy was back to center stage falling right back in step with the business at hand.   Bob is my new best friend. ...

A Memorial Day Reflection

  Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls.  Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts  run through my mind.  The journey of loss takes on various emotions.  The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness.  In a split second, I would forget he departed forever.  I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home.  My mind is realistic now.  He's not coming back.  There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars.  He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day!  And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...

Hearts for the Kingdom Author Interview

When I finished reading Hearts for the Kingdom last week, I contacted the author, Cho Larson.   We talked about the book and he graciously agreed to be my guest today.  Together we hope to inspire you in your journey of faith to pursue God with a heart that is alive and beating for the Kingdom of God. Mary:  Cho, when I finished your book, I felt loved and very close to my Savior. Cho:  I’m overwhelmed at the encouraging response to it. Mary:  How long did it take to write this book? Cho:  God works in mysterious ways. As I’ve observed God’s hand at work, it’s easy for me to picture Him as the Great Conductor, orchestrating everything in perfect harmony. Hearts for the Kingdom wasn’t my original plan, but after I sent another manuscript I was working on to my editor, while waiting for him to edit, the need became clear for a foundational book. This book required about six months to complete. Mary: as an author, what is the me...
