Let the Music Give the Message
It’s been a long week; well, let me say it’s been an emotional week. I have to admit that trying to find the message for today’s blog has been a little tough. Sometimes music is the best way to soak up the message that Father wants us to receive. This morning, friends, I simply share…

The Day that Followed
Today we remember 2977 of our fellow citizens who perished on this day 25 years ago. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. If you are like me, you remember exactly where you were on 9/11/01. I remember the day like it was yesterday. The images of that day, though hardly ever shown, are…

Things Are Just Things
What matters to you? Is it the house, the car or truck, the newest cell phone or tech gadget, the country club membership? I hope not. What should matter most is family. Your husband, wife, kids, siblings, grandkids, and all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and the like. This, my friends, is what is most important…

Sunrises, Sunsets and the In Between
This morning is one of those mornings when the little blog isn’t quite coming together as I’d hoped. I have written and rewritten it several times. I guess I have too much going through my head right now. I wanted to be with my team at home yesterday as they took the final items from…

Through the Trees
I’m in North Carolina this week with the 65-and-older golf group that I’ve worked with for the last several years. They hold two events each year, and I’m blessed to plan them and spend time with some pretty wonderful people. The group has become like family, and though they may be seniors, um, they can…

Bless All Who Labor
When I was a kid, Labor Day was a of course, a three-day-weekend, and a day off from school. Yes there was usually a parade and if we were lucky there was grilling, however, that was also the weekend that the public pool closed for the season. It was an end to summer, which of…

One Door Closes, Another Opens
Today has been over a year in the making. Following Hurricane Milton in 2024, our parish family undertook the important research of determining how to best make our sacred space more resilient to storms. Hurricane Irma in 2017 almost destroyed the steeple. Hurricane Ian in 2022 loaded almost three feet of water into the sanctuary.…

Live Today
This morning I debated whether to write this little blog, well, whether to share this particular message, I mean. It’s a message that isn’t easy, but yet it is what our lives are about. A friend passed away last evening. He has not been well for quite some time. You could say, I guess, that…

A Frequent Visitor
This week, a parishioner has come into the office several times. He doesn’t really have anything in particular that he wants. One day he asked me if I could recommend a place where he could get business cards printed. The next day, we talked about our services and how beautiful they are. He shared about…

The Undone
You all know that each morning and evening I spend time on our lanai with Father. My time with Him in the morning is my favorite because it’s much quieter, and I feel more connected. During my prayer time with Him, I have several petitions that I say each time. I pray for my family,…
