My Heart, Your Heart

A few mornings ago, I was sitting on the lanai having my regular a.m. check-in with Father. I was asking for prayers for my “regulars,” I call them. Of course, family and friends, but also those who have specific needs, such as the return of sweet Emily Rea. As I talked with Him and prayed,…

Present Day Prayer

It’s Thursday, and the weekend is around the corner already. That’s not a bad thing. And…this weekend we have our 13th Annual fishing tournament at our church. This is a fun family event. Prizes for the kids and adults. Lots of food, lots of fun, and lots of stories about the “one that got away”.…

He Is the Same

I woke up several times last night. Not one of my more restful nights’ sleep. You know how it goes, you try to shut your mind off, but there are just those evenings when it doesn’t want to cooperate. I tried the standard things, counting sheep, deep breathing, counting backwards from 100, ya, no dice.…

The Losses

This morning, as I try to do on Saturday, I was a little slower getting started. That’s code word for sleeping in. I’ve shared here before how much I enjoy sitting on my lanai on Saturday mornings before the neighborhood gets going. It’s quiet, the wildlife is talking, the sky is a brilliant blue. This…

Listen to the Pull

Have you ever experienced those moments when you’ve felt a pull to do something? Well, that’s pretty open-ended, isn’t it? Yesterday, we were in the midst of many things. Volunteers came to help us put our Sunday school rooms back in place. Almost a year ago, Hurricane Milton came through and filled many of them…

The Message Is Clear

Every now and then, I take a moment to look at the first little blogs that I wrote here. That was over three years ago. The blogs have changed since the beginning in many ways; however, I think the message is still very clear. Father is guiding the ramblings I put here each day. This…

When In Doubt

There have been times when I have sat down with Father to pray, and I haven’t known where to even begin. Sounds weird, doesn’t it? I mean, you’re talking to God, it seems like a pretty easy thing to do. Not so much, though, depending on when you are coming to Him. If you are…

On the Rock

Do you ever have moments when you have so much going through your mind that you almost feel paralyzed? Maybe ‘paralyzed’ isn’t the right word. How ’bout ‘stuck,’ where you just feel stuck? This morning I was stuck. I had my quiet time as I usually do, talking with Father, although it was a little…

Jesus Helps Me Write

My husband and I were having a conversation the other day about the whole ai thing. I’ve been hesitant to get into this game because I’ve heard some not-so-good stories, and I know that many times the information it spits out is simply false. I also have a concern that people use it too much.…

Weathering the Storm

This morning, as I sat and had my morning chat with Father, I noticed the moon. My goodness, it was sooo bright. It’s full, and it’s definitely putting out some brightness. As I talked with Father, I noticed lightning in the distance. It was such an interesting contrast. The thought of storms on the horizon,…
