Reflections on 2024
I guess it’s pretty common to reflect on the year as it comes to a close. Or do we really reflect on what has happened? I think most of the time, we all just look forward to a new year ahead, a new beginning, and a chance for things to be different. Many times we,…

Birthday Prayer “Again”…
I think I’ve shared in this little blog before the story of the birthday prayer. We had a dear friend, one who became a father figure to me, later in my life, after my dad had passed away. John was a father figure to many in our group of friends. He was not only one…

Lessons from Painters
I was so excited yesterday. Our office repairs are almost completed following Hurricane Milton’s damage. The painters were in yesterday finishing the last painting, including my office. This is the same small business that painted the church a few weeks ago and I really liked them then. It’s just one man maybe in his late…

We have an unspoken rule in our house that we don’t listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Now granted, usually first thing the next day I’ve got our favorite carols playing. It’s always enjoyable when that one song comes on and I’m like, “Ah, I love this one!”. Over the past few years, I’ve…

The Thanks of a Lifetime
Thanksgiving Day. I know many of you have probably been up for hours already, prepping the bird, making the special family recipes, and filling the house with incredible smells.

More Thanks
It’s an exciting week, not only are we celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are celebrating the return to services in our church this weekend. It’s been a busy few months since Hurricane Milton came through and my goodness I’ve learned a ton. I never thought I’d be able to talk about HVAC systems, floor restoration, drywall…

As I mentioned yesterday, I want to devote this little blog this week to giving thanks for one thing each day. Yesterday I gave thanks for all of you and your support of this little blog 🙂 . Last night I stopped at the store on the way home from work. As I was walking…

A Week of Thanks
I’ve shared here before that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. There is just something about the coming together of family and friends to give thanks for the gifts we have in our lives. Of course, the delightful smells and tastes of Thanksgiving don’t hurt either 🙂 . This weekend I saw wonderful pictures…
