A Little Thought or Was It?
My daughter called me yesterday afternoon to chat. She’d had a rough day at work and just needed to let it out. Actually, I’d had a pretty weird day as well, so it was nice to talk. I tried to lend support where I could, and she did the same. By the end of the…

Humbleness and Humility
This morning, right on schedule, I received my daily scripture reading and reflection from my Priest friend. I’ve mentioned him before here in this little blog. Like this little blog, there are days when his text just hits home. I find myself saying, “I needed this today”, after reading it. Today was one of those…

Be An Example
Yesterday, on the way to work, I noticed that our local police were out in large numbers. I counted four along my route. They were in all types of vehicles: their standard Explorer, the stealthy Mustang, and the pick-up truck. One had pulled over a driver, I presume for speeding, but I don’t know that…

Just Do Your Best
I guess you could say I’m a little Type A personality, especially when it comes to some things. I’ve mentioned here before that I have an ops brain, meaning I can look at a situation and quickly see solutions. I particularly like to plan events, as most of you know. There are a lot of…

Are You In?
Yesterday, one of our parishioners, well, more than that, a friend, messaged one of my coworkers and asked, “Are you in the office today”? This friend has had some serious health issues and a few surgeries recently. We’ve all been praying for her, and yesterday she wanted to take a short drive. We welcomed her…

Who Wants To Be Like You
This morning, I had planned to share a tune in this little blog. I’m a little short on time because we’re headed out to drop our cars off for service before heading into work. When I went to find the link to the song I wanted to share, something else came up, and it stopped…

Be One
Today’s little blog, I thought that instead of an inspirational message from me, I want to encourage you to be an inspiration to others, or to someone. I know, you’re probably thinking “Oh boy”. No, seriously, how about a little pay-it-forward kind of day for this little community? What can you do to be an…

Lost and Found
We got a call yesterday from one of our parishioners. John had lost his phone and glasses and was fairly certain that he had left them in the pew where he had been sitting on Sunday morning. I asked my facilities manager to go on the hunt for the missing items. He searched everywhere in…

Be An Elf
Today, after church, our youth group kids will head out to shop for gifts for a wonderful organization with which we partner. The youth have been raising funds for an Advent service project to provide gifts for 100 children who are part of the Fun Time Academy here in Naples. This organization’s mission is to…

Helping Hands
Over the past few days, I’ve noticed something. I’ve noticed the helping hands of so many and the willingness to help with the littlest of things. As I mentioned in this little blog a few days ago, our annual Christmas Market was this week. It’s a big deal and attracts hundreds of people during the…
