The Reason for Doing
Something struck me this morning as I logged in to write this little blog. My website for Inspirasuns is very small, just two pages. The homepage is where my most recent blogs are shown and then there is a page where you can find all all of the blogs I’ve written. I’ve kept it simple…

Nuisance – It’s Ok
Friends, sometimes you can’t make things up. Sometimes you simply have to laugh at what happens in life. This morning, well that would be one of those times. I had hoped to take today off, and try and get things done around our house that have been lacking for obvious reasons over the past few…

The Heart of His Children
When I think of the heart of God’s children, well, all I can do is smile. Yesterday I was surrounded by the collective heart of His children. An army of volunteers arrived to help move five rooms of furniture, plus our full thrift store. The way they worked together, the way they supported each other,…

Bringing Out the Best
It’s been difficult for everyone over the past few days to see the images coming out of TN, NC, and FL. They are images that will never be forgotten, things we’ve never seen before in our lifetime.

The Garden
The past few weeks I’ve been enjoying watching the updates from friends and family as they plant their gardens. For many, it’s actually their first time putting in a garden, and it’s been fun to watch their excitement grow as their crop grows. Many of my friends are starting gardens for the first time with…

Humble Beginnings-Humble Givings
I attended a luncheon yesterday. One of our parishioners, a lovely woman spoke about her family business. She and her husband built this with many years of hard work and effort. Actually, she shared their story which was quite inspiring. You see both she and her husband were raised in MN. They were both very…

Simple Support
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is talking to our parishioners. I’ve learned so much about so many wonderful people. My days are filled with people stopping in for various reasons, committee meetings, bible study, attending a service, volunteering, and planning a life event like a wedding or funeral. I have the…
