Taking Care of Things

This past week has been a week of just that, taking care of things. You know those tasks or chores that you kind of put off and don’t want to deal with? We’ve been slowly getting our Sunday school rooms back in order following Hurricane Milton. It’s been a longer process because we’ve decided not…

Prayer Works

You know it really does. Prayer works. I think there are times when we feel our prayers are not being answered. We don’t see an instant response from Father so we assume He’s not listening or He’s choosing not to answer our prayer. Trust me, I’ve been there. What I’ve learned over time though, especially…

The Transformation

We are fortunate at our church to work with a local florist. He has been with us forever and supplies the flowers for the altar each Sunday. He also provides the decorations for the Christmas and Easter celebrations. Yesterday was the day that we transformed the church from Advent Season to Christmas and it was…

Walking in the Past

Last night we went to a small holiday gathering at a friend’s home. Just a few friends enjoying a beverage, nosh, and some Christmas cheer. It was a lovely evening, the food was wonderful and the conversation was lively. We all shared our plans for Christmas and it was fun to hear how everyone would…

Being Quiet Is the Hardest

I wonder how many of you are like me. Well that question could go in a couple of different directions couldn’t it? What I mean is, how many of you have a hard time just listening for the answer to prayers? Sometimes I feel like I’m trying too hard to hear what Father may be…

The Hype

Well, buckle up Florida, we have a “biggun” coming with this latest storm. It’s been interesting over the past week as not many weather people have been talking about it. There are only a few weather folks that I watch, we have learned which ones tend to “hype” just to get clicks, and which ones…

Jump In

Yesterday afternoon I had a wonderful conversation with a new woman in our church. I was wrapping things up at the end of the day, having just finished a monthly Zoom meeting that kept me at the office later than usual. My boss was in that meeting as well, and shortly after he said his…

Be Prepared – Live Each Day

This morning, I was looking back on some of my previous little blogs. We’re coming up on the second anniversary of Hurricane Ian, and I read the post that I wrote just a few days before that historic storm. Two years later, some people are still rebuilding and not back in their original homes. I…

A Chance To Be Better

I’m sure we all look at the dawn of a new day as a new opportunity. We have a chance to do things differently, to look at things in a new light, and make different choices than we did yesterday. One of the things I ask in my prayers to Father each morning is for…

Being Prepared

This time of the year in SW Florida, well, we’re usually watching the weather. Hurricane season runs June through November, and things start to get active in September. We’ve begun watching a particular “blob” that as of this morning has about a 50% chance of turning into a formed storm. I’m not saying it will…
