The Power of Connection
We had a little fun yesterday afternoon, well last evening I should say. My granddaughter called us to tell us about her week. She works part-time at the local YMCA as an after-school counselor. Kids from various schools around the area attend the after-school program. For Halloween, the Y has a contest where the youth…

Bringing Peace
I’m not sure if you experience this, but sometimes I find myself getting into a rut when I talk with Father. What I mean is, I find that when I’m lifting prayers, I’m just repeating the same thing each day, if that makes sense. This morning I stopped myself to just converse with Him. Like…

Make a List
If you’re like me, you tend to still have an old-fashioned to-do list. I find myself making lists for just about everything from grocery shopping to event planning. I’ve even been known to use those large sticky flip charts and have to-do lists stuck to the wall of my office 🙂 . My mind just…

Trust Him
Yesterday I spent many hours cleaning our lanai. Milton made a major mess of things and with everything else going on at the church, yesterday was the first chance I had to clean it. It was one of those chores that I thought would go pretty quickly, but once I started I found myself cleaning…

Such A Time As This
I’ve been chatting with different friends over the last few days. That’s some earth-shattering news, right? I’m guessing you have probably talked with friends as well lately 🙂 .

The Heart of His Children
When I think of the heart of God’s children, well, all I can do is smile. Yesterday I was surrounded by the collective heart of His children. An army of volunteers arrived to help move five rooms of furniture, plus our full thrift store. The way they worked together, the way they supported each other,…

Miracles Before Milton
As the recovery process began following Hurricane Milton yesterday, I noticed something on social media. People were sharing the prayers they had been praying on Tuesday and Wednesday as the storm was intensifying. Interesting that we were all praying the same thing. Hmmm, God moments perhaps, me thinks so 🙂 . Yes, we were all…

Father Hear Our Prayer
It’s erie this morning. For the first time in days, we have a pause in the rain and actually see some sunshine peek through the clouds. It’s very quiet, truly the calm before the storm. Milton is an angry boy headed for the Florida West Coast. As I’ve been helping with our disaster recovery group activities, sharing…

It’s Worth Repeating
There are just some things that ya, every now and then, they are worth repeating. For instance, I don’t think we can ever say too much, God loves us. A reminder to ourselves every day that we can do all things through Him who strengthens us, is definitely worth repeating. You get the idea, there…

Many Hands
Yesterday we made our way through the big task of securing our church and campus for the upcoming storm. As you can probably guess, there are many moving parts, and takes time to accomplish. The forecast for Milton requires that we do a full battening down of the hatches so to speak. As we put…
