Midweek Boost
Many years ago, I got into a habit of posting a camel picture on social media on Wednesdays, reminding everyone that it was humpday and to make it a great one. It really did become “a thing”, even to the point that people would send camel memorabilia to me. I have a collection of stuffed…

Keeping Him Close
Over the past few days, I’ve felt a little “off”. I wasn’t quite sure what was going on. I just felt like I was in a funk, nothing seemed right and I was just going through the motions. Yesterday afternoon was no different. I made my way to the pool after church, just in time…

Look For It
As I was thinking about what message to share here this morning, I looked down at my desk. I had several ideas going through my head but couldn’t quite get any of them to come together the way I wanted. Then, there in front of me was a wooden cross and one of my little…

Thankful
I guess I could just end this little blog for the day with that one word: thankful. Ok, have a great rest of the day, everyone 🙂 . Seriously though, it’s a word that encompasses so much. This morning, I’m thankful that Hurricane Isaias was a fast-moving storm. It weakened a bit before landfall, but…

In the I
It’s been a quiet few years for us on the storm front. Yesterday we were inundated with rain here in SW Florida, with loads of flooding in our downtown area. Thankfully, it receded fairly quickly, and by the time we left work for home, things were mostly clear. We’ve all been watching the storm brewing…

It’s All In A Verse
There are some pretty amazing verses in the Bible. Well, I guess that might be the understatement of the century 🙂 . This morning I read the daily text I receive from my friend, who is a priest. His daily scripture passages and reflections help start my day with a simple study of God’s word.…

Not Sure
I’m not sure what to write. I’m not sure what to pray. I’m not sure what to say. Have you ever found yourself in one of these situations? Maybe you’ve argued with a friend or loved one. You’re not sure what to say to apologize or how to make amends. Some days I sit down…

Noodling and Daybreak
Funny title for today’s little blog, don’t ya think? Yesterday, my day started off with a shelf in our laundry room trying to jump onto my head. I went in to grab some Ziplocs from the storage basket, and literally the shelf the basket was sitting on came out of the wall into my arms.…

Making It Harder
Have you noticed how we humans sometimes make too much of things? We overthink; we make things harder than they need to be; we take on too much, or we just, in general, overreact to situations. You see, I can say these things because I’m exhibit A in all of those situations 🙂 . I…

Seek Him in Chaos
I’m sure most of us have been through those times when the world around us just felt like… well, chaos. If you have children, just think back to those days when they were toddlers. Your house was a mess, schedules all out of whack and the only time you had five minutes to yourself was…
