Words Affect

These last few days have been kind of a whirlwind. They have flown by, and as I write this little blog this morning, I think about all the people I’ve seen, met, and hugged. I’ve had amazing conversations, and I’ve overheard many others. What I realize this morning is how much words can affect our…

A Simple Sunday Prayer

As we all enjoy this long weekend, I thought maybe just a simple prayer for this beautiful Sunday. May your day be filled with a little relaxation, time with loved ones and friends, and time with Father. Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of rest. As we slow down this long weekend, help us…

The Banter

I’ve shared in previous little blog posts that we have a routine of going to breakfast with friends from church. It’s become so routine that other friends and clergy ask during coffee hour, “So where are you headed to for breakfast today?”. Most of the time, we don’t know yet; we haven’t gotten that far.…

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…

It’s Saturday

Yes, yes, it is. A day of rest for many, I hope. This morning, I simply share a prayer for the day. I’m headed off for a little hair and nail pampering, and I hope you all are taking time today to take care of yourself. Give yourself the time you need to just “be”. Father…

Just for Fun

Something a little different here in the little blog this morning. We have a new day before us, lots of opportunities, lots of blessings, and much to be thankful for. This morning, I asked Father to “fill me up” with His love today, so much so that it pours out to others. We gotta have…

Just Begin

I’m guessing we’ve all had times, situations, challenges where we don’t know where to start. You all know that there are days when I sit down here and I haven’t a clue what to share. I sit and think about things; I retrace my days, and I pray and ask for help from Father. Even…

Helping the Little Ones

For the last several years our church has helped one of our local organizations supply fully stocked backpacks to children in need. It’s a wonderful program that provides children with new backpacks and supplies to start the school year. Usually, we provide a list of supplies by grade level and our parishioners shop on their…

The People Connection

A few weeks ago I shared a story in this little blog about a friend of ours who passed away. I shared about the brightness of her eyes that always sparkled, even in her advanced stages of dementia. I believe her eyes showed the beauty of her soul. Yesterday was Connie’s funeral and it was…

Secretariat Lessons

Last night I watched the movie Secretariat. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. Of course, it’s a movie depicting the life of admittedly the greatest racehorse of our time. A triple crown winner that broke every record in the three races. He won the final race of the crown, the Preakness, by…
