R and R
It’s an abbreviation for “rest and recuperation”. I’m not sure if the military first coined the abbreviation or not, that I guess, is for another blog 🙂 . I know that we civilians have used it for as long as I can remember. I think back in the day, and probably still today, the military…

Their Future Glory
I’ve been reading the book of John over the past few weeks. Of all the Gospels, I have to admit, it is my favorite. I think I’ve shared here before that the Bible I use is The Founders Bible. It’s a wonderful version as it weaves together not only the word of God, but His…

The Gift of a Brother
Today is a day to celebrate. Well, every day is a day to celebrate in my opinion 🙂 . Today, though, we celebrate my brother’s birthday. I am the baby of the family and have two older brothers. So, as you can probably guess, growing up, I was what we used to refer to as…

Simple Gifts
This morning, I find myself thinking about yesterday and just feeling grateful. It was Valentine’s Day, and of course, I’m so grateful for the love of my life, my husband. We exchanged cards as we always do; we’re past the point of needing to get physical gifts. We have what we need in each other…

Just Another Day
I just realized that today is Friday the 13th. Ya, I used to wonder about all those superstitions. As my relationship with Christ has grown, all those have fallen away. Isn’t it amazing what we, God’s children, manage to concoct to push us further away from Him and His love? Let’s just look at today…

Laugh at Yourself
I believe Father gave us the gift of laughter for many reasons. You’ve probably heard that it takes fewer facial muscles to laugh than to frown. Well, that alone should tell us we should be laughing more. I got home a little later than usual last night, to say it was a strange day, well,…

Going Back
I haven’t had the chance to capture a nice sunrise or sunset recently. It’s been cold and windy most nights when we’ve left the office, and stepping out on the beach only increases the cold and wind. Ya, I know, I’ve gotten pretty whimpy lately. So, I’ve been going back through my hundreds of sunrise…

I Gave You These
My husband “scheduled” a call with his younger brother last night. I know it sounds kind of formal, but really, it was just making the time for them to chat. With the time difference and work schedules, it’s been difficult for them to connect. So after dinner last night, he made his way to his…

The Chats
One of the best parts of my job is those times when parishioners just stop in to my office to say “Hi” or to catch up. Yesterday was one of those days. Mid-morning, after the weekly Bible studies, the chair of our building project committee stopped in. He wandered in and said, “Morning, Kim, I…

His Creatures
Yesterday, I spent the day on the water. I know, I know, many of you reading this were/are hunkered down through a major winter storm. Continued prayers for all of you in the frozen tundra! It was a beautiful day, and almost perfect for being on the water. I have found recently that I just…
