Unanswered Prayers

Last night, as I sat with Father before bed, I said, as I do every morning and evening, a prayer to bring sweet Emily Rea home to her family. Last night, though, it was with a little more earnestness. We’re coming up this week on the anniversary of her disappearance; maybe that is why I’ve…

Prayers for Indy

Many years ago, a friend told me about a couple who sang country, Christian, and folk music. Joey and Rory Feek were “up and coming” when I first learned about them. I enjoyed learning about their story, their getting together, the birth of their little girl, Indiana, and then the sadness of Joey’s cancer diagnosis.…

I Couldn’t Write

I didn’t write a little blog yesterday. To be honest, I don’t think it would have been a good thing to do. You see, I was upset. I was angry, sad, disgusted, and several other adjectives I can think of. When I woke up yesterday, those feelings were still strong, and I thought it best…

All Will Be Well

Over the past week, I’ve heard this phrase from different people at different times. Last night we had dinner with some dear friends. Schedules have been crazy, and we just haven’t had the time to get together, so it was wonderful to reconnect. We were discussing our church project; they, too, are parishioners. We talked…

They Want What You Got

I’ve mentioned here in this little blog many times before that you just never know how your small interaction with someone can change their life. You never know when just your behavior, showing Jesus within you, will bring someone closer to Him. Yesterday I attended the funeral of a long-time parishioner. He was 92 years…

Consistency

As I’ve restarted my fitness journey, one thing that is so important is consistency. Stay consistent with the way you eat, get rest, exercise, and water, oh, and sunshine every day. The more consistent you can be, the better your body feels. I thought about consistency this morning, but in a different way. Yes, my…

Joy in the Journey

Yesterday, my husband and I took a drive. It was a beautiful day, one of those windows-down, roof-open kind of drives. I showed him the little campground I found several weeks ago. I shared about it with you in this little blog. We made our way around Marco, even driving by the “popular” Marco Airport.…

I Know the Plans

We’ve all had those times when things didn’t go the way we hoped. Heck, we even pray for things to go a certain way, and they don’t. And… sometimes it’s extremely disappointing or even painful when things don’t go the way we planned. I know when it happens to me, I’m sad or even upset…

Stick With It

So you all know I’ve started back on my fitness journey, faithfully, I guess you could say, almost a month ago. I’ve learned some things over these past weeks. First, it’s so much easier to have a steady exercise routine than to try to start one again. Back in my corporate America days, we used…
