Do You Know Me?

We had dinner with some friends last night. We’ve known them for several years and we’ve shared about our lives before moving to Florida. We know what they do for a living, we know about their children, that kind of thing. Last night though, we had wonderful conversation, sharing even more about our backgrounds, growing…

The Change Of The Family

I’m guessing I’m like most people in that as I’ve grown older my relationship with my parents and my siblings has changed. My parents have been gone for more than 20 years, but even in those few years before they passed away my relationship with them changed. I confided in them more, grew closer to…

Take A Break, Enjoy Some Music…

Over the last few years, this little blog has become more than I initially intended. At first, I thought I would just share a picture of a beautiful sunrise or sunset along with a scripture verse. I did that for a while and over time I began to share more personal thoughts and more about…

Be Simple

This morning as I sat down to write this little blog I noticed a cross that sits on my desk. It’s made of wood and very simple yet there is a strength to it, there is a picture below to see what I mean. Looking at the cross got me to ponder a few things.…

Encouragement

Shew, what a restless night’s sleep that was. We have a large event at church this weekend and the shortened week has kind of accelerated things. I woke up at one point during the night and my brain started racing, going through my to-do list. Well you all know what happens after that…your mind just…
