A Day of Prayer

As everyone knows the news this week has gotten considerably more distressing. The events in the Middle East are escalating and the “chatter” intensifying. There are groups calling for violence today, October 13th, Friday the 13th. I don’t think that is a coincidence, a day that is associated with darkness. Our world is a scary…

No Sleep, Know Father

If you stopped in to read this little blog yesterday morning, you know I had a rough night of sleep the night before. I woke up a little after midnight and could not fall back asleep. My mind wandered everywhere, heck I even replayed childhood experiences at one point. I managed to fall back asleep,…

When Sleep Evades

Morning friends…well, as the title of this little blog indicates, yes, last night was a restless night. It was one of those nights when you wake up after only being asleep for a few hours and your mind starts running. You think about everything. My goodness, I even thought about memories from when I was…

The Tingle

Last night I sat on my lanai as I usually do to spend a little time with Father before going to bed. We have a fountain in our little pond behind us and it had just shut down for the evening. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was, I could even hear the crickets chirping.…

Embrace the Suck and…

If you have been a follower of this little blog for very long, you know that when we lived up north I was part of an amazing workout group made up of women. Chix in Training is a tight-knit group of women, who became family to me, and they still are for that matter. We…

Bond of the Band

Yesterday as I was headed to the Blessing of the Pets at our church I drove by one of the larger high schools in town. Their football field faces the road I was on, and a familiar sight caught my eye. When I saw it I had to roll down my window to hear the…

Ian – One Year Later

One year ago today we watched as an absolute Monster of a storm roared through SW Florida, and actually made its way through pretty much the entire state. Ian was massive and it was an “equal opportunity” storm. It didn’t matter if you were a millionaire or lived in a one-room apartment, everything you owned…

The Broken Becomes Stronger

I’ve been reading the book written by Chad Hymas, “Doing What Must be Done”. Chad was the keynote speaker at our conference a few weeks ago and to say he is a testament to Faith, strength, and perseverance would be a slight understatement. He shares his story of becoming quadriplegic after an accident many years…

Take the Time to Chat

Last night we found a rare occasion when my husband and I actually had time to chat while making dinner. We found ourselves stepping away from work while it was still light outside and actually surprised ourselves when we had eaten and cleaned up the dishes and it wasn’t close to 8:00pm. That is unusual…

Sometimes Just a Reminder

There are days when a song just keeps playing in my head. Maybe that’s Father putting reminders out there for me. Well, today was one of those days. For some reason I woke up hearing this song in my head. I just figured it was God saying, just share this today. So, you all get…
