Let it Snow

Well, you are surely wondering where I might be going with today’s little blog. I mean, I live in SW Florida and I’m saying let it snow… There are many things curious about that title 🙂 Last night we participated in the Marco Island Christmas Parade. Those who know me, know of my love for…

The Colors of Advent

Today is the beginning of the Advent Season. The word “Advent” comes from the Latin adventus, meaning “coming or arrival.” So, the season of Advent is a season to prepare and wait for the “arrival” of the baby Jesus. But, in a way you could say that we are always in the season of Advent,…

Shopping List

It’s the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and if you’re like me, this is the day you brave the craziness of the grocery stores to get those final items for the big meal. Even though the stores are usually packed it’s a different kind of shopping. There is a different feeling in the air. People are…

What’s for Dinner

Most days the question of what’s for dinner is answered before I’ve had my morning shower. There are times though when I have no clue. You’ve probably been there too, you wander to the pantry, look through the fridge, open the freezer, ugh, nothing makes you go, “oooohhh that sounds good”. Well, if you’ve been…

Driveway Time

We live in a small community where the units are pretty much on one circular drive. You can drive in and follow the road all the way around with condos on either side and make your way back out the drive if that makes sense. My point to that is, everyday neighbors make their way…

Sometimes it’s Just Thanks

Today’s little blog is pretty simple. As I thought about what to write I kept coming back to saying thank you. Thanks to all of you who read this little snippet each day, and more importantly thanks to Father for providing the words to make it happen. So as you start your Sunday, join me…

Laces of Love

Last night we met at church for a gathering. This is the time when many of our parishioners are coming back from being up north all summer. Many are seeing Naples and the surrounding area, and the results of Ian at our church for the first time. We gathered to reconnect and share updates on…
