Better Than Yesterday

My simple prayer this morning as I rode my bike with Father is the title of today’s little blog. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had slightly changed my morning routine. Instead of just sitting on the lanai and spending a few moments each morning with Father, I spend a little more time…

The Light of Christ

One of my favorite services during Holy Week is the Saturday evening service. It’s known as the Great Vigil of Easter. I won’t go into all the specifics about the service, that’s for another blog, but what I will say is that it is one of the most beautiful services you’ll experience. The service begins…

Alleluia Christ Has Risen

The Lord has risen indeed, Alleluia! Happy Easter, friends! The 40 days of Lent have ended, and the Lord has overcome the chains of death and hell. With his sacrifice, He gives us the gift of life everlasting with Him in paradise. All things are made new in Him. Celebrate the joy of the resurrection…

Through the Haze

If you’ve followed this little blog for very long, you know that I have the pleasure of working with a 65+ senior golf group. They hold two outings a year, and I oversee the planning of those events and the general operations of the group. I’ve made some wonderful friends, many of whom have been…

For the Human Family

A lot is happening these days. I guess you could say that’s an understatement. It’s hard to keep up with the news, with work, home, and day-to-day life. This morning, as I’m heading out to church, I wanted to share this prayer. It’s from our prayer book, and it is with special intention for the…

Love…Every Day

Another Valentine’s Day rolls around. A day when we celebrate love. A day filled with hearts, cards, chocolate, flowers, and all the things associated with love. We share these little gifts to show those we love that we care. What would happen, though, if we approached every day the way we do Valentine’s Day? I…

Check In

Well, the crazy weather continues. Yesterday, while leaving work, my husband and I noticed all of the communities here in Naples covering their flower beds. I, too, checked in with our church landscaper to make sure he had a plan to protect ours. There is a cold snap, a pretty good one heading our way…

The Winter Blast

We have a beautiful day on tap here in SW Florida. I don’t say that to rub it in, no, I say that to confirm how fortunate we are this weekend. Much of the United States is under a major winter weather advisory, with some areas expecting double-digit snow or even worse, an inch of…

The Touch

Yesterday I was at church longer than usual. I actually went to two services. “Wow, she needed some extra Jesus”, you are probably thinking. Well, I can always use more Jesus, although that wasn’t the reason for two services. I’m fortunate to be close friends with the world’s best photographer team, and yesterday they came…

True Joy

Last night I was reading in my little red book, “The Practice of Religion”, which I’ve shared about before here in this little blog. It’s a wonderful book filled with prayers and small services to get you through all manner of life. I read evening prayer almost every night from it. Last night, though, I…
