Helene

Yep, she is a very big storm. We are fortunate here in SW Florida that we will only see a small piece of what she’s packing. The Big Bend area of Florida will take the brunt, and it is going to be a major brunt. She will not be kind as she makes her way…

Deja Vu

Well, timing is everything they say, although I’m not sure about this timing. Two years ago yesterday I wrote a post in this little blog. It was titled, “The Calm Before the Storm” and you can read it here. I was talking about the impending arrival of Hurricane Ian. Little did I know back then…

Do You Know Me?

We had dinner with some friends last night. We’ve known them for several years and we’ve shared about our lives before moving to Florida. We know what they do for a living, we know about their children, that kind of thing. Last night though, we had wonderful conversation, sharing even more about our backgrounds, growing…

One morning a member of our group posted a link to a wonderful song. Then another link was…

I’m Trying To See

Yesterday was kind of a strange day. A series of unexpected events threw my day off. What was weird, though, is how much I accomplished even with unexpected events that took me away from what I had intended to do. I should clarify as well, that not all of the unexpected things were bad. There…

His Sheep

We really are you know, His sheep I mean. At the end of the day my friends, that is truly all that matters, Jesus is our shepherd and we are His sheep. We wander off many times, but you know what, He will leave the flock to find the one who has strayed. There is…
