Picture of Hope

Last night our oldest daughter sent us a text message. There was a picture of a young couple, looking as if they were posing for their engagement pictures. You could tell it was an older picture. As I looked at it trying to determine if I knew the couple, (which I didn’t), she went on…

The Power of Me

I feel pretty blessed for many, many reasons. I’ve got a wonderful husband, beautiful kids, grandkids, and friends that have become like family. I get to live in what we call paradise, and most importantly, I’m blessed with a loving relationship with Father. When I think about His children who don’t know Him, who don’t…

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…

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…

I have to pack a bag to shower there, which means packing toiletries, towel, yada, yada, and invariably I forget something.…

Being Productive

I pretty much ask Father every day to guide me to do His work, as I work. There are those days when I look at the clock and wonder where they day went and wonder just what have I accomplished. Don’t get me wrong there is usually a list of things I’ve “done”, but did…

A New Day

Funny about the Lord’s creation. “There was evening, and there was morning”. There is always a new day. There is an opportunity to do things differently. There is new hope as the sun rises, and things often look brighter as that sun rises. I’ve watched some unfortunate things play out over the past few days…

Saturday Afternoon

Yesterday in this little blog I talked about our lives belonging to Father, that this life is about Him not about me. This life is a gift and all the things we share while here, also…gifts from God. 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…
