Even If

Yesterday afternoon I went to pick up some things from a friend who has been up north for the summer. She and her husband live just across the street from the beach and their 1st-floor condo, as you might expect was severely damaged by Ian. Actually, her entire complex looks like a war zone. The…

Recovery

Over the past few days, I’ve learned a lot about the different “phases” of a natural disaster. Since Ian hit our Sunshine state we’ve been in the Response phase, which includes implementing disaster response plans, conducting search and rescue missions, taking actions to protect yourself, your family, your animals, and others, and so on. During…

God Bless the USA

Yep, I’d say this is a good way to start the day 🙂 Isaiah 9:10The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stones; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.

What Can I Do

Short little blog today, many of you are probably thankful for that, LOL! So many of you have reached out and asked “what can I do?”. I have to admit I’ve not watched the TV or the news since last Thursday, which might be a good thing. I’ve been focused on the needs of our…

God’s Children

Yesterday was a busy day. I first want to thank our server at the local IHOP. We stopped there first thing to grab a quick breakfast before heading off to help at our church. This woman, our server I mean, was simply awesome. She was so attentive, so happy, and so cheerful to every single…

Cleaning Up

Yes, the clean-up has begun after Ian. Yesterday as we began reinstalling the gate arms to our community, we simply could not believe how beautiful the morning was. What a difference a day makes right?! The sky was an amazing blue, the temperature was about 71 degrees and the air was “clean” if you know…

Ian

As I sit here on Thursday afternoon in my driveway for a bit I’m not even sure where to begin. First and foremost we are safe and ok. Our power is out, cell service is down connecting with the “outside world” is sketchy and much of our beautiful sunshine state is changed forever. Ian has…

Father Hear Our Prayer

Just some simple prayers for this morning’s little blog. We’ve all prepped, we’re keeping informed, and we are keeping in touch with family and our local neighbors too. Here comes mother nature, and I also say, here comes Father. As we all know, we can’t control the weather, but what we can control is our…

A Simple Psalm

Happy Monday everyone. Today’s little blog is short and sweet. It’s going to be a busy week around here, Ian is still not sure where he wants to go and is shifting some as of 11pm last night. As I read this Psalm this morning I thought it quite appropriate for the week ahead. As…

The Calm Before the Storm

Well, we live in SW Florida. It’s paradise, plain and simple. We wouldn’t be anywhere else. However, as you all know, June – October is hurricane season in Florida. And…we’ve been pretty lucky so far in 2022. Well, that all changes this weekend. We’ve got a whopper headed our way, and so far it looks…
