The Sounds of Saturday

Ahhh…yes, Saturday morning, it’s my fave morning of the week. I know, newsflash it’s the fave morning of the week for many people for obvious reasons. It’s the weekend, a little later start to the day, hopefully no work on the agenda, it’s just a different feel. This morning as I sat outside and had…

Picture of Hope

Last night our oldest daughter sent us a text message. There was a picture of a young couple, looking as if they were posing for their engagement pictures. You could tell it was an older picture. As I looked at it trying to determine if I knew the couple, (which I didn’t), she went on…

Saturday Afternoon

Yesterday in this little blog I talked about our lives belonging to Father, that this life is about Him not about me. This life is a gift and all the things we share while here, also…gifts from God. Those include family and friends. At the end of yesterday’s little blog, I encouraged everyone to get…

A Commercial Memory

Now what in the world could I be sharing in this little blog this morning with a title like that? To be honest, I struggled with what to title this one today, so just work with me on this 🙂 . I’ve felt like my last week or so of posts have been a little…

Music and Memories

A few days ago in this little blog, I talked about the gifts and talents so many of God’s children have.

Special Needs

A few weeks ago I shared in a couple of different little blogs the sadness and then happiness I felt while shopping at one of our local grocery stores. I was sad because of the behavior of one of the young adults working the checkout lane. He just seemed so put out by having to…

The Little Ones

It’s hard to believe but we are still doing some restoration work following Hurricane Milton last year. The delay has been the result of improvements we are making to improve the flood resiliency of our campus. For instance, replacing standard drywall, trim, and baseboards with PVC or essentially plastic versions. This allows us to remove…

Walking His Walk

Lent begins today with Ash Wednesday. Over the years, I’ve participated by giving up various things, such as chocolate, alcohol, meat, etc. I admit that giving up some of my loves—or should I say vices—made me stop and think about what Jesus went through during those 40 days in the desert. I gave up giving…

Worth Sharing Again

I had a message for this morning’s little blog but I think Father had other plans 🙂 . When I come up with a message, one of the most difficult things sometimes is the blog’s title. Once I know what I want to write and what I think I want the title to be, I…
