A Few Things To Ponder

As the sun rises on this Saturday I find myself thinking about things. I’m not sure why they come to mind, but I’m guessing Father has placed them there for some reason. Sooo, you know me, they get typed out here in this little blog. Maybe they are just some things Father wants us all…

For The Love Of Music

I’m in a text group with about a dozen friends. We support each other in many ways, lifting prayer when needed, sharing funny stories, giving kudos when our kids do great things, you get the idea. It’s like having your best friends in school, only now we’re all over the country, but yet still connected…

Not Just Words

Yesterday I returned to work after a long weekend, (well longer than planned), away. You can check yesterday’s little blog for more about the longer-than-planned part 🙂 . As happens with everyone I suppose, my first day back, ya it kind of flew by. As I made my way through the day checking things off…

Simpler Times

My husband and I spent the weekend at his high school class reunion. He was born and raised in a small town in Illinois. This year was an anniversary year, his 50th. We’ve been to many of his reunions over the years and I’ve come to know some of his closest childhood friends. Unfortunately, his…

The Final Touch

My husband and I are traveling this weekend, making our way to his 50th class reunion. When we travel I try my best to book us on direct flights, with less chance of getting stuck somewhere or delayed. Well, that didn’t work so well yesterday. Just as I was leaving work to head home and…

Every Day is an Anniversary

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary. We’ve known each other more than 40 years and at one point yesterday I thought, wow, that’s a long time 🙂 . We had a very simple wedding, celebrated with friends afterwards, and the next night my mom hosted a lovely dinner for our families.…

We Got This

My boss, (our Rector), has been on sabbatical for the last several months. I believe, (I guess I should know this), that it’s the first time he’s been gone for this long since he started almost 15 years ago. It’s been an interesting time over the past three months, in a good way actually. You…

From the Heart

These three little words, from the heart, they can mean so much depending on the context. As I was thinking about this little blog post this morning, doing what I often do, asking Father for guidance, the word forgiveness popped into my head. So I asked, “Ok Father, I write about forgiveness quite a bit,…

Lost With Father

When we moved to Florida many years ago, one of the things we gave up was a large yard. It provided so many opportunities to work with my hands; planting flowers, trimming roses, growing veggies, you get the idea. I miss having that space and spending time with Father doing those things. We live in…

Simple Notes

My granddaughter has always been a note-leaver. What does that mean you ask? Well, whenever she would come to our house my husband and I would find these little notes that she would leave for us. Usually, we’d find them on the desks in our offices. Just short little notes that were so special. When…
