Not Just Words

Yesterday I returned to work after a long weekend, (well longer than planned), away. You can check yesterday’s little blog for more about the longer-than-planned part π . As happens with everyone I suppose, my first day back, ya it kind of flew by. As I made my way through the day checking things off…

Lost With Father

When we moved to Florida many years ago, one of the things we gave up was a large yard. It provided so many opportunities to work with my hands; planting flowers, trimming roses, growing veggies, you get the idea. I miss having that space and spending time with Father doing those things. We live in…

For Our Country

Wow, another week has flown by, I really am not sure where the time is going these days. We’re all so busy and before we know it we’re looking at the weekend again, which of course isn’t a bad thing π . These last few days I’ve been sharing my thoughts in this little blog…

A Little Time with You

I think there is a popular song isn’t there, maybe by James Taylor, something about a little more time with you? I’ll let someone else go digging through the archives for that one, I just had the words come to me this morning while chatting with Father. As I sat down on our lanai this…

Every Day is a New Day

I’m wrapping up what has been a wonderful few days with the seniors golf group I work with. At dinner last night it was fun to watch as people continued to be curious and learn more about each other. They learned about careers, families, and hobbies, (other than golf of course), and found connections to…

The Noise

Have you noticed the noise lately? All around us, there is noise, and I’m not just referring to sounds. The activities, distractions, and so many things that keep us from doing what needs to be done. This morning, I sat down to have my morning time with Father. My head was filled with so many…

Santa Needs Prayers

Friends, this morning I’m coming to you to ask for prayers. You see one of the nicest men I’ve had the pleasure of knowing is having heart surgery today. Yes, as the title of this little blog implies, he’s Santa. Well, his name is Paul, but he’s Santa to those of us who know him.…

It Spreads – Prayer Does

Yesterday as the news broke about the passing of Toby Keith, as we usually do, we began to see posts on social media sending condolences to the family, and lifting of prayers for comfort.βWhat struck me yesterday though, I witnessed much more than those words of comfort.βI saw prayers lifted and spreading to others. I’m…
