Love Your People
A dear friend of mine is going through a difficult time. I’ve spoken of her often here, and today I just ask for continued prayers for her family. You see, she is Emily Rea’s aunt. Unfortunately, they had to say goodbye to another family member over the past few days. Yesterday on social media, my…

It’s Worth It
Yesterday afternoon, my husband and I did the dreaded grocery store run. Worse than that, we also did the dreaded Costco run. Even though it’s just the two of us, we usually do our meat shopping at Costco, and yes, I’m probably one of the only people in the country who dislikes going to this…

Just Start
As I’ve been sharing here over the past few months, we are in the midst of planning to take down and rebuild our church. We’ve been moving things around, discussing service layouts in our parish hall, and finding new ways to use the spaces to accommodate the various events that take place each day/week in…

The 39th
Today is a special day. My husband and I celebrate our 39th anniversary. I’m typing this from one of my favorite places, sitting by the sea. We got up early to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic with a cup of coffee. I have to say, I’ve never seen the sea so calm. As…

Hey Jesus
This morning I was reading a few different prayers written by others. This week we are starting to remove items from the church. It’s daunting in many ways as we work through what to store, what to keep and where, what we no longer need, etc. Yesterday, I found myself just saying, “I have to…

Yesterday, she underwent open heart surgery to repair a small hole in her heart that she has had since birth. The surgery was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but an emergency took the surgeon to another case, so Indy’s…

A Better Place
Yesterday, a group of parishioners gathered in our parish hall to set up for an event we’ve held for the past three years. It’s the annual backpack drive. You see, there is a wonderful organization here that collects pre-filled backpacks with school supplies for underserved children. There is an option to provide backpacks for any…

His Presence
This week has been a whirlwind. Maybe it’s the three-day weekend that has thrown me off, but alas, it is Friday already 🙂 . As I was preparing for this little blog this morning, oh, and by the way, I changed things up a bit so I can ride my bike watching the sun come…

Live Don’t Scroll
I’ve found myself down over the past several days. I can’t quite put my finger on what the issue is. As I rode my bike this morning and had my morning conversation with Father, I just sort of rattled off everything I was feeling. I have some things at work that keep popping up. There…

Emily Update
If you are new to reading this little blog, you may not know about Emily Rea. She is the niece of a dear friend of mine. Emily went missing on July 16, 2024. She went out to paddleboard as she regularly did, and has not been seen since. Today is Emily’s 35th birthday, and her…
