When Father Says Pray

I’ve mentioned many times before that there are days I come here and I’m not quite sure what to say. I guess today is one of those days. Maybe I’m just tired, my brain is going in a million directions, my thoughts are on upcoming days, and unfortunately, they are not where they should be…on…

When it Started

As I sit here in what will be my base office for the next nine days I realize that almost exactly two years ago this week is when my relationship with Father really started to deepen. I’m onsite for our conference next week with the final prep work for what will be a pretty awesome…

When Father Steps In

A few days ago I shared a little bit of a conversation I had with a dear friend who was going through some things. She told me about a family member, a cousin, who had been involved in an accident that resulted in him breaking his back. During that conversation, she shared that he was…

Steak and Cars

Last night my husband and I grabbed dinner at a local steakhouse. It’s a small casual place that has been in business here for 30 years. We love it because the service is wonderful, it’s a small comfy place, and of course, the food is like crazy good! We didn’t have a reservation last night,…

The Faces of Innocence

Yesterday was our annual fishing tournament at our church. It was truly a fun-filled day with great weather, great food, and loads of families enjoying the day together. In addition to our “anglers”, we had an option for people to take an eco-tour and spend some time on one of our local islands that provides…

You Can’t Describe That Kind of Love

Yesterday morning I was blessed with a call. My phone rang and I noticed it was my oldest, it was early so I grabbed it hoping all was ok. As I said hi, the voice on the other end was not my daughter. It was my grandson calling to remind me that he was a…

Beautiful

Such a simple word, beautiful. We use it to describe so many things, however, sometimes I wonder if we realize that this simple word describes each and every one of us. Father’s children, we are made in his image and simply beautiful. Sitting down this morning to write this little blog, this word kept coming…
