It Takes Time
One of the things I miss the most about living in a condo is having a large yard with an area for a garden, and lots of flower beds and pots. I used to love the spring and summer months, when I could just dig in the dirt. Now granted, I was never a master…

When Two Become One
I had planned to write a short little blog this morning about our special day. You see, today is our wedding anniversary 🙂 . I’ve known my better half for over 40 years and can’t think of anyone else I would have rather spent those years with. Yes, we’ve had our challenges, all married couples…

Tending the Garden
We have a small area on the west side of our parish hall. It’s located in the children’s wing of our campus, and we call it the Children’s Garden. Within this garden are plants that were purposefully planted there. Plants and trees that have wonderful smells, feel soft to the touch, or, better yet, bear…

Small Labors
One of the very first little blogs I wrote, almost three years ago now, was about taking care of the linens in our church. It’s timely I guess because just this morning I was ironing the linens to take with me to church. It reminded me of that little blog and I thought today might…

How ‘Bout Brunch
Later this morning, we’re going to treat ourselves to brunch with friends we haven’t seen in quite a while. Actually, that’s not entirely true. We see them almost every week. They are neighbors and we’ll chat briefly while their fur baby is walking them in the mornings 🙂 . However, we haven’t been able to…

You see, on the East and West sides of our church are sacred churchyards. These are blessed grounds where parishioners have chosen to have their ashes placed upon their death. The churchyards…

One-Minute Prayer
I have a wonderful pocket-size book that was given to me by a friend many years ago. It’s title One-Minute Prayers. Every now and then I pull the book from the shelf in my office and read the simple prayers. They aren’t prayers in a traditional sense, they are more like thoughts, or conversations that…

Updates
Oh yes, the dreaded computer updates. I fell victim to them this morning. It has thrown off my whole schedule today. Sooo…this little blog might be even littler this morning 🙂 . As my computer popped up with the message today, “Your device will restart in 5 minutes”, I thought, “Seriously?”. Why are you telling…

Twenty Seven Later
Yesterday I was meeting with a group of people. We have a new group that is being made available at our church, and a few of us are beta testing it. It allows the facilitators to go through the curriculum and make sure the process flows the way they would like. I volunteered to participate,…

Monday – No Worries
Ok, everyone, start of a new week, yes, dare I say, it’s the dreaded Monday. Actually, it’s a good day to start a good week. Let’s shake off the ho-hums of the start of the work week (those of you who are retired, well, you remember what it was like), and just get to it.…
