Face Giants

Several weeks ago I talked about a group of friends communicating regularly through a group text. We frequently lift prayers for each other when needed, provide an encouraging word, or give hearty congrats when great things happen.

Let Them Do What They Do

I was talking with a close friend a few days ago, just catching up. It was a wonderful chat and as usual, we had to hang up way too soon. I was pulling into work and she was heading to the office as well so I didn’t get the opportunity to share with her one…

Everything We Need

This morning I made my way out to our lanai to have my daily early morning chat with Father. When I opened the sliding door and stepped outside I was hit with a wall of summer humidity that we love so much here in SW Florida. It’s been particularly muggy here the past few days…

A Prayer For Labor Day

The Labor Day weekend is almost coming to a close, I know where did it go already. This holiday weekend tends to mark the unofficial end of summer 😦 . Kids are back at school, and the feel of fall is in the air, for some of you up north, it’s already cooler, and before…

Jesus On A Jet Ski

Catchy title of today’s little blog eh? Well, it came to me yesterday as I spent time on the water on said jet ski. If you know me or have been reading this little blog for very long, you know that my happy place is on the water here in the Sunshine State. There is…
