Recovery

Over the past few days, I’ve learned a lot about the different “phases” of a natural disaster. Since Ian hit our Sunshine state we’ve been in the Response phase, which includes implementing disaster response plans, conducting search and rescue missions, taking actions to protect yourself, your family, your animals, and others, and so on. During…

Here’s Your Sign!

So you all have been so gracious these last few days. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to alarm you. I’m good, I just like you have those days when I’m not sure if I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing. I’ve been praying for many weeks for Father to show me if there is…

I Love to Eat

Yep, gotta admit, I simply love to eat. It’s not the eating, it’s the experience. I love to cook, I love to entertain, I love to hear guests enjoy good food and drink, and yes, I love to eat. It’s a major downfall of course. Hence my gaining weight this last year. Ugh… I have…

A Peek into Heaven

It’s late summer in SW Florida. So…it rains. I mean it rains ALOT! My husband and I love to use our grill when we cook dinner. We’ve been pretty bummed lately because, ya you guessed it, the rain in the late afternoons and evenings has pushed us inside to our air fryer or indoor grill.…

Youth Haven

Father has an interesting way of introducing us to situations we weren’t expecting. Last October we were at dinner with some friends and they asked if we had plans for Thanksgiving. This was the first year in over 20 that we didn’t have plans to spend it with family of some sort. “No, actually we…

Ya, Let’s Imagine

So on this Saturday morning, as you are sipping your coffee, reading this little blog, I thought I would opt for a little lighter post. I think the last few little blogs have been kind of intense. Some of you have commented that I’m feeling sad. That certainly isn’t my intent. I’m not sad at…

Friend, Family, Father

A few weeks ago I shared a story about a group of friends in FL who helped me decorate an area of our home. It’s been great fun getting to know these new friends. We’ve shared stories and learned so much about each other, and we’ve built a strong friendship in a very short time.…

An Elbow, Just What I Needed

Yesterday I made the trek out to Scottsdale for our annual conference. I sat down early in the morning, like at 3:00am, to spend a little time with Father before I left. I asked a simple request in that morning prayer, “Father please keep me safe as I travel, and if you could make it…

The Captain

If you’re lucky you come across a person in your life who is a role model, a shining example of character, and a truly loving soul. Well, I have been so fortunate. Captain John was such a person. John was a dear friend, one who I looked at as a second father to me. And,…

Back to the Basics

I had an interesting conversation with a guy yesterday who is working on some equipment at the entrance of our community. The community is replacing some old equipment that has been around for over 25 years. Needless to say, things haven’t gone as smoothly as we’d like, missing parts, this software doesn’t talk to that…
