In the Open

My husband and I have a practice of saying grace before we eat. It doesn’t matter if we’re grabbing something quick while driving, having holiday dinner, breakfast with friends, or just eating at the kitchen table at home, we say a little prayer. It’s just ingrained in us, it’s second nature and we just give…

Simpler Times

A friend of mine is a photographer and a very good one at that. He has an amazing gift for capturing a picture where you and I would never have known there was one. He takes pictures of anything and everything, landscapes, wildlife, homes, food, and of course people. He can capture a smile like…

The Things That Bind

A friend of mine is an amazing cook. She has her own social media pages and those of us who have subscribed just love her daily recipes. It’s not just the scrumptious dishes, but healthy smoothies, and educational facts about the benefits of certain spices or herbs, she has it all. She started this series…

Enjoy the Day

You all know that Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Ya, I know I’m not alone there 🙂 . The day always feels different, especially if you have the luxury of not having a full day planned. Today would be one of those days. So, if you are like me and you are…

Recentered…Again

Have I mentioned lately that it’s pretty interesting how Father just seems to drop into places when you really aren’t expecting it? He seems to have some pretty impeccable timing. We’re all busy these days. I frequently comment that I’m not sure where the days are going. In the midst of that busyness, it’s easy…

Simple Support

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is talking to our parishioners. I’ve learned so much about so many wonderful people. My days are filled with people stopping in for various reasons, committee meetings, bible study, attending a service, volunteering, and planning a life event like a wedding or funeral. I have the…

Time Change

Ah yes, yesterday we all felt it, the spring forward into daylight savings time. I have to admit, I’m not sure why we can’t just stay on one and not go back and forth each spring and fall. People were all a little “off” yesterday. It happens I guess when you suddenly lose an hour…

Bread of Life

I continued on my baking spree yesterday. Last week at the farmers market I picked up several zucchini in hopes of making bread. Time got away from me last weekend so late yesterday afternoon I took the time to put this together. It was a super easy recipe and everything fell together nicely with just…

Touching the Fringe

A friend of mine oversees a website for his church that shares wonderful daily scripture in small snippets. The Bible can be overwhelming to read at times, it gets easier over time and the more you read it, the more it reads you. So, though I’m trying to read the Bible cover to cover, I…
