Skills and Talents
I’ve shared in this little blog that we are having some remodeling done in our condo. As I’ve mentioned we chose to rent a place while the work is being done, and our last few trips through our place tell us, ya we made the right decision 🙂 . Yesterday, after work, we stopped by…

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…

We’ve started to get into a routine while making our way to and from work. My husband and I have taken up calling our kids or grandkids during our commute. It does a couple of things, first we of course are able to catch up with the family, hearing about work and school life, get…

This Is Us
I know there was a TV series named this, but no that’s not what this little blog is about this morning. No, it’s a little more personal than that, although I guess some would say that show was personal 🙂 . I grew up the youngest of three children, I’m the only girl of the…

The Village
We’ve all heard the phrase, “It takes a village”. Even the most monumental tasks can be accomplished with just a small village of individuals all working together towards a common goal. I’ve seen it happen many times, you look at a task so overwhelming and wonder how it will ever get accomplished. The next thing…

Do I Make a Difference
I’m guessing this is a question we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives. If you’re like me you’ve asked it many times. I suppose it’s human nature to wonder if what you’re doing is making a difference, making things better, helping someone or something. I think we, God’s children, are wired to…

A Little One
Over the past week or so, I’ve been sharing my experiences with some young adults in our community. Some experiences have been good, some not-so-good, with the good, I believe, outweighing the not-so-good. Well, Father keeps bringing youngsters into our path. Let me explain. As I’ve shared, my husband and I are staying in a…
