When God Has Other Plans
Last week, a friend of mine got terrible news about her mother-in-law. She had a stroke and the outlook was not good. We all watched for updates as she was in ICU and unresponsive. The news the doctors gave was she probably would not recover. If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you dread those words, the admission that the doctors…

Foundations
Last Friday I was at the gym for my usual morning class. I really like the instructor on Fridays. He makes a point of going around the room through the entire class, encouraging, correcting, adjusting, and suggesting ways to improve the techniques we are learning. Most of the people in my 6:00 a.m. class are…

“Joe” and the Gym
Yesterday morning I went to the gym as I usually do. It’s always fun trying to get a parking space as there is a class before mine. I had to park a little further away than usual, and I noticed that there was someone in the car across from me. I hopped out of the…

No Connection – No Problem
Have you ever left your phone somewhere and realized later that it truly wasn’t the end of the world? Actually, it was kind of nice not to have it with you, to just enjoy the silence. I’ve found myself in that situation a few times lately, and yes I’ve enjoyed the break and have found…

Golf Bags, Kids and Memories
Over the weekend my husband and I made a trip to our storage unit to pick up my golf clubs. Yes, they’ve been tucked away there since we moved down here full-time. Sad I know, but time has simply gotten away from me when it comes to playing golf. Well, that changes next week when…

The Gift in Front of You
You all know that there are times when I draw a blank on what to write in this little blog. I’ve shared before that many times, actually more than many times, I don’t have a clue what to write. What I realized this morning is that there are days when I try too hard. There…

Tingle from a Tune
I’ve written before that there are times when I have a morning or evening chat with Father, and I get an actual tingle. I think that’s his way of letting me know that He is there. I can’t really explain it, I just know that it happens and when it does, I feel such a…

Father in the Midst
Yesterday was a very full and busy day, and you know what, Father was in the midst of all of it. A few days ago I mentioned a parishioner who I spent time with while she was planning her husband’s memorial service. Well, yesterday we held that service and it was simply beautiful. The memories…

Fried Chicken & Perry Mason
Now that is an interesting title for a blog post. I’m guessing you are wondering where the heck this one came from right? It really is kind of funny how it came to be. Last night my husband and I were driving home from work. I realized I didn’t take anything out for dinner so…

Simple Beauty
One of the things you learn about when you move to Florida is the orchid plant. Not long after moving here a neighbor gave me one as a welcome gift. I had seen them up north of course but nothing like I see them here in the warm climate. I’m by no means a pro…
