Tommy

Today’s little blog is dedicated to a very special person. Sgt Thomas Gilbert was only 24 years old when he was killed in action in Iraq in 2006. Don’t let the age fool you, Tommy may have only been 24, but he was an “old soul”. He loved his family and he loved his country.…

The Eagles

One of the most beautiful sites to see down here in SW Florida is the symbol of our nation, the Eagle. It’s not uncommon to be driving along and look up to see one flying, or, as we saw not long after being here, one sitting on a golf course with its breakfast 🙂 If…

A Piece of Home

When we moved to Florida several years ago, like most, we had to go through the process of “downsizing”. You know, your kids get the first pick of items you no longer “need”. Then you start making piles to donate, garage sale, or pitch. Yep, we went through that process, but there was one item…

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…

The Bond

Yesterday as we worked our way through the final setup of our annual conference I watched our attendees start to filter into the hotel. The hugs, and the shouts of joy as they saw each other, well that was pretty ongoing throughout the day. It always amazes me the bond that has formed with these…

This morning kicks off the last day of major prep for our conference this week. Our team is all here, we know what needs to be done and we are laser-focused on “git r done”. I’m privileged to work with an amazing group of people. Like all teams, you have those moments when you disagree,…

“Amazing, Life Changing”

If you’ve been following me these last few days, you know that I’m in Scottsdale for our annual conference which starts on Wednesday. The photographer for our event is a friend I’ve come to know over the last several years. He and his wife live not far from me, and to say that Joey’s work…

We Owe Them

Last night I was pondering the content for this morning’s little blog, while at my desk working on detailed items for our event next week. I went over to a private FB group we have for our conference attendees, and of course, had to do this through my main FB menu, so my newsfeed popped…

The Dock

Yesterday was our annual “Rally Day” at church. This is the weekend we kick off the start of the new educational semester with Sunday school, adult forum, you know like the new school year, only with Church. It’s kind of a combination picnic and county fair type event. We had a water slide, kiddie pool,…
