God Centered
A friend of mine shared something on social media yesterday. It’s a wonderful story about the Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Even if you are not officially an Indiana fan, you have to admit that the championship game the other night was unbelievable in many ways. I wanted to share this story here for several…

The Little Messages
If you’ve been reading this little blog for very long, you know that some days the messages are very simple. Hence why the blog is little 🙂 . Today is one of those days. The blog is short, and the message is simple; however, the message is powerful. Today is our youngest daughter’s birthday. So,…

Sticking To It
Yep, that’s what I’m doing today. One of my first 2026 posts in this little blog was about taking the time to work on the paint-by-number that I purchased at Christmas back in 2020. Yes, five years ago, and I haven’t come close to finishing it. This is the year that I do. I encouraged…

Listen to the Happy
I’ve noticed that as I’ve grown older, and more importantly, as I’ve deepened my relationship with Father, my taste in music has changed. I find myself listening to more Christian music because the message resonates with me more. Don’t get me wrong, I still have the old playlists that I pull out occasionally. I love…

Paint the Picture
Yesterday, we kicked off 2026, and I have to say we truly enjoyed the day. We slept in, made breakfast, and then relaxed with projects. One of the gifts I got for my husband for Christmas was the Lego Bronco, which has some pretty cool features, I might add. He parked himself at the kitchen…

A Year Stronger
We find ourselves again on the last day of the year. If you’re like me, you are wondering where the year went. Yes, it’s true, the older we get, the faster time goes. This morning, I looked back at my little blog post from one year ago today. As I read it, I realized one…

A Child Was Born
This morning, I came across a poem while I was reading some prayers. It’s a beautiful message about that night so long ago when God delivered His son. It’s written by Susan Noyes Anderson, and she wonders, as I know I have, how different characters in the story felt that night so long ago. You’ll…

The Trees & The Memories
Yesterday, some wonderful volunteers at our church came in to help decorate the Christmas tree that fills our parish hall with such warmth. Another longtime parishioner donated a lifetime’s worth of ornaments to the church several years ago. There are hundreds of ornaments from all over the world. From large, small, plain-colored balls to intricate…

It’s Not About…
I was thinking about this little blog this morning. It was one of those mornings when I was struggling a bit about what to share. Even my morning check-in with Father didn’t really yield a message, which is unusual. However, throughout the morning, my mind keeps returning to a situation from yesterday. I don’t want…

Every Day Is Thanksgiving
Well, let the Thanksgiving prep begin. Here we are, Thanksgiving Eve, and I’ve already seen on social media, friends who are filling the fridge with homemade cranberry sauce, coconut cakes, gravy, and the like. I can almost smell the deliciousness of them all. I, too, will be in the kitchen today, after I brave the…
