I Am With You Always

We begin a new week, and this morning, as I spent my usual morning time with Father, I asked Him, as I always do, to walk beside me today and this week. I asked for strength and for Him to guide my path so that I can do the work that He wants me to…

The Walking Away Part

A friend messaged me thanking me for the message in this little blog yesterday. He commented that he had some things on his mind recently that were keeping him up at night. My message yesterday was about laying things at the foot of Jesus and leaving them there. Walk away from them and move on.…

Knowing What We Need

Wow, I slept in a little later than usual this morning; I mean, even for a Saturday. I guess sometimes your body knows what you need, and you just have to listen. As I thought about that this morning, something else came to mind. I’m guessing you know what I’m going to say. Sometimes Father…

The Tile Craze

Over the past year or so, I’ve watched the Mahjong craze grow and grow. It’s all over social media; many of my friends have taken up the game, and at our church on Wednesdays, there is a faithful crowd that enjoys almost three hours of play. Even in our small community, there is a group…

The Light of Life

I’m dragging a bit today. I woke up around 2:00 a.m. to a beeping from my phone. I honestly thought my alarm was going off and it was time to get up. When I rolled over to shut it off, I couldn’t see anything. Not only was the alarm clock face totally black, but I…

Home Is Where the Lord Is

We have some neighbors who, about a year ago, moved back up north to be closer to their children. Don and Judy were a wonderful couple and introduced themselves to us within days of moving to our community. We would chat each time we saw each other, getting the latest on Don’s pickleball game, Judy’s…

Rainy Days and Sundays

Didn’t the chorus of that popular Carpenters song just run through your head when you read the title of today’s little blog? You can thank me later for planting that tune in your head for the balance of the day 🙂 . Yesterday was Sunday, and it was indeed a rainy one here in SW…

In a Pickle

Ever have one of those days when you’re just in a bad mood? You wake up, and things are out of sorts. Maybe you didn’t sleep well, maybe the weather is crummy, maybe it’s a Monday, and you’re just dreading the day. Or maybe there really isn’t a reason, and you are just in a…

Just Do Your Best

I guess you could say I’m a little Type A personality, especially when it comes to some things. I’ve mentioned here before that I have an ops brain, meaning I can look at a situation and quickly see solutions. I particularly like to plan events, as most of you know. There are a lot of…

We Will Be Them

I’ve always been an old soul. My mom dubbed me that a very long time ago. I’ve always loved being around seniors. They are special people; they have our history within them. Last night we had one of our Summer Soirees with our parish family. It’s an opportunity to go to dinner in the off-season…
