The Guild

Every few weeks, actually every three weeks my husband and I take a turn setting up the church for service. We’re on one of the three Altar Guild teams and this weekend is ours to make sure everything is in place for service. I shared about taking care of the linens for our church in…

A Friday Prayer

Does anyone else feel like it’s been a long week? I haven’t had a bad week, nothing earth-shattering, no major “are you kidding me” moments, it just feels like ok, it’s finally Friday. If you’re having those same feelings, well, welcome to Friday 🙂 . I don’t know what it is, but things do seem…

Trimming the Palms

This week a company has been in our neighborhood trimming our palm trees. Little did I know before moving here that though it takes them a while to grow tall, the fronds and other debris grow pretty quickly. Depending on the palm tree, you might find fronds on the ground, (you don’t want to be…

Souls and Sun Rays

The photo that I used for today’s little blog was taken not far from where we used to live in IL. You could say that we lived kind of “out in the country”, and the roads near us were small, with two lanes and many not even marked with lines. Anyway, one evening I was…

Dear Younger Me

Last night I didn’t sleep well, I woke up in the middle of the night, and of course, my mind started going. I’m sure none of you have had that happen 🙂 . As you try to think about anything to doze back to sleep, I found myself thinking about my childhood, my teens, my…

I’m guessing you might be thinking I’m taking off for a day at the beach with that title right? No not today, although that doesn’t sound like a bad idea since the weather has warmed up a bit here 🙂 . No, in today’s little blog, I wanted to share a poem that I’m sure…

Like a Cast Iron Skillet

One of the gifts on my Christmas wishlist this year was a small cast iron skillet. You see, we have a “condo-size” version of a Weber grill. You know, the kind that runs on one of those little green one-pound size propane tanks. For those of you who are big tailgaters, it would be one…

Change Us

Recently I saw a post on social media, a meme that said, “We ask God to change our situation not realizing he put us in the situation to change us”. Wow, I really, really like this because I think it’s so true. Over the past three years, we’ve all been through so much. I don’t…

Where Did it Go?

Well, here we are, yes, yes it’s Monday again. If you’re like me you look back and think, where did my weekend go? Usually around dinner time on Sunday, I start asking myself that question, and then the looming sense of, “tomorrow is Monday again already”, sets in. I start to think about the things…

Shake it’s Friday

If you had a chance to catch this little blog yesterday, you know I had the opportunity to spend some Toby Time, (btw I posted pictures of the little guy). All went well and we both enjoyed the walk in the sun, it was a nice break for a bit from work. As I was…
