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…

Magnificent Beauty

Last year I spent some time in this little blog sharing information about a pretty famous eagle family. This family is followed on an “eagle cam” up in Fort Myers, Florida. It’s a pretty famous family actually because last year the female, Harriett went missing while the father M15 was out hunting for food. It…

Enough of the Sunset

Whoa, what, enough of the sunset? Did you ever think you’d see that title for this little blog? I mean this blog is based on sunrises and sunsets, how could I ever have enough of a sunset? Well, that is just the point I want to share today. I don’t think you can ever get…

The Good Stuff

Since my husband and I work at the same place, we have a pretty standard routine in the morning. I go to the gym, he works out at home. When I get home, I make lunches while he takes a shower, and we flip a coin for who will drive that day. When we get…

Through the Years

Wasn’t that the title of a song many years ago? Yeah, I think it was. I can even hear Kenny Rogers singing it 🙂 . Well, it wasn’t the handsome country singer who inspired the title of this little blog; it was the realization of how strong true friendship is. A few years ago, I…

A Classic for a Sunday

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…

The Carol of Our Father

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…
