Unknown Laughter

Yesterday during our weekly team meeting we had a little fun with our Rector. Yes, it was April Fool’s Day, and though I’m usually not a fan of jokes commemorating this day, one of my team members had put some thought into one that was harmless. For the approximately two minutes it took for the…

Power of Relationship

Over the weekend a friend posted a great picture on social media. He had gotten together with co-workers from years ago and it was a group picture of them looking very much like they did back then, (well maybe a little more gray hair). All three of the guys were past co-workers of mine from…

Weekend of Messages

I took some time off over the weekend from this little blog. I needed to let my mind rest a bit, and we had a busy few days at church. I mentioned on Friday that our Bishop was in town for his annual visit, so many events scheduled, including confirming many parishioners 🙂 . He…

He Brings Us Back

Yesterday morning I was bustling around trying to get out the door for my workout and then on to an appointment from there. Leaving the gym to work or other appointments has its challenges. I have to pack a bag to shower there, which means packing toiletries, towel, yada, yada, and invariably I forget something.…

Coming to You

Ah, the joys of writing this little blog. I love sharing thoughts here each day, having Father fill me with whatever ends up here. Sometimes it overflows and I have to force myself to stop so people don’t feel like they are reading a novel. Other times just simple thoughts come to mind. As I…

A New Day

Those include family and friends. At the end of yesterday’s little blog, I encouraged everyone to get…

Not Me – Him

Sometimes it’s the hardest thing to hear, “It’s not about me”. However, sometimes we need to remind ourselves of that very thing. There are things that happen in this life, there are things we don’t want to happen, life throws curve balls, and we get frustrated. That is, well that is simply this thing we…

In His Time

I’ve been talking with different friends over the past few weeks about projects they are working on. I have a few myself and the timing has been such that we can all talk and share ideas and thoughts about our different situations. Our various projects aren’t at all related, one friend was looking at starting…

Opening and Closing Doors

I’ve shared here in previous little blogs that I have a close friend, a priest, who shares a scripture reading and morning reflection each day with me. I’ve come to start my day with these, even before I have my morning chat with Father. I time things so that I can read the message from the…
