Back to Personal
I’m fortunate to be of an age where many of my friends still write, yes handwrite, thank you notes. We all still send real birthday cards, not e-cards. We send hand-addressed and signed Christmas cards. Yes, I love that so many still hold to this practice. It’s personal, and it shows that you took the…

Gloomy Day?
Here in SW Florida, we are in the final stretch of our rainy season, and dare I say it, hurricane season, shhh… About another 6 weeks or so, and we’ll be on the other side of it. We’re going to keep praying that things stay status quo in the hurricane department 🙂 . Sorry, I…

The Friends
I’m so fortunate to have wonderful friends. My “circle” isn’t huge, but those that I consider close friends are more like family to me 🙂 . I’m guessing I’m not alone in that regard; you all are blessed in that way, too. This morning, as I was thinking about my friends and smiling to myself…

What We Need
Sometimes we pray and pray and pray, and it seems like Father isn’t hearing us. Sometimes we think that He’s not answering our prayers. Sometimes we lose hope. What I’ve been learning more and more since my relationship with our Lord has strengthened is that He gives us what we need, which many times is…

Father and Friendships
I’m spending this week with some old friends. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the association I was a part of in many ways for more than 15 years. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends, hugging many necks, and celebrating a community that has grown so much over the years. As I look at…

The Water & The Kids
Tomorrow is our annual church fishing tournament. Well, actually, we call it our annual “day on the water”. For those who don’t like to fish, there is a boat that takes folks out to an island to shell and sun. It really is a wonderful day for kids of all ages. I enjoy this event…

When a Song Speaks
Every now and then I drop a song here in this little blog. It breaks up my little ramblings and most of the time the message is very timely. Sometimes, like this morning, a song speaks to you and you just keep hitting that replay button. Ya this morning was one of those times. So,…

Live Life
I read a beautiful story last night, posted by a friend on her social media page. It is a story of love, hope, and the ability of God’s children to live life. You see, her elderly father has been having health issues recently, including a stroke. He was scheduled to have surgery in the near…

Share the Sky
Last night, a friend sent me a text message. It was a picture of the most beautiful sunset over the water. She said she had received it from a friend. When she saw it, she said, “It made me think of you”. That makes me smile. Later in the evening, I was checking the social…

Blessings
I’ve realized lately that Father brings people into our lives for a reason. You might be thinking, “Really, you just realized that?”. Well, no, I’ve known that for a long time and have even said it to many people. I suppose what I mean is that I’m realizing how blessed I am to have certain…
