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…

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…

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

If you’ve read this little blog for very long you know that occasionally I like to toss in a tune here and there. It’s funny because I can listen to what some would call “praise music”, or the classic hymns from beautiful choirs, or country, or a little old time rock and roll, ya, I…

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…
