There Are No Words
This life is so precious and so short. There are no words to explain the gift of life that is given to us by Father. It’s priceless, the bond between family, and often it is so taken for granted. Yesterday morning I was doing some work before my meetings here in South Carolina. My phone…

Mary’s Song of Praise
A friend of mine sends me a scripture reading and reflection each morning. These last few weeks before Christmas, he has been focusing his reflections on the season of Advent, of course. They have been helping me to take time each morning, slow down just a bit, and truly reflect on the preparation for the…

From Why to All Will Be Well
We are all faced with challenges at times in our lives. Well, now there is a very “duh” kind of statement, right? Sometimes those challenges come in a slow build-up, sometimes they come totally out of the blue and blindside us. Regardless, they come and many times we are left just asking why. I have…

WNC Winter Wonderland
Over the past weeks since Hurricane Helene made her way through Florida, Georgia, Eastern TN, and Western NC, I’ve been asking regularly for you all to lift these communities in prayer. The damage done by this storm has been historic, like nothing we’ve ever seen. We’ve talked about “100-year storms” such as Hurricane Ian. However, Helene,…

Hit Your Stride
Yesterday was an interesting day of sorts. The restoration of areas of our campus continues following Hurricane Milton, and they’ve moved into repair of our offices. Sooo, things are a little messy. My office for instance has all the furniture moved to the middle so they can replace drywall and such. It’s disruptive but I…

It Can be Mended
A few days ago I shared with you all that I broke a special Christmas ornament. I guess you could call it an heirloom of sorts, which I made as a child. You can read more about that in this little blog. I was not a happy camper on Sunday that is for sure. Well, the…

With Your Heart
How often do you find yourself in situations where you have to make a decision but you are just not quite sure what to do? If you’re like me, it happens more than you’d like. It’s an uneasy feeling sometimes, especially if the decisions you are torn between are life-changing. Over the years I’ve had…

The Carol of Our Father
We have an unspoken rule in our house that we don’t listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Now granted, usually first thing the next day I’ve got our favorite carols playing. It’s always enjoyable when that one song comes on and I’m like, “Ah, I love this one!”. Over the past few years, I’ve…

Broken Angel
We spent some time this weekend putting up the Christmas decor. Like many in SW Florida, our decorations are kept in a storage unit as these keepsakes would not do well stored in the summer heat of our garage. Judging by the “traffic” at the unit, we weren’t the only ones decorating this weekend. We all laughed…

The Thanks of a Lifetime
Thanksgiving Day. I know many of you have probably been up for hours already, prepping the bird, making the special family recipes, and filling the house with incredible smells. Yes, this is very close to being my favorite holiday. As I mentioned a few days ago, I’m giving thanks in this little blog for one…
