Raising

Last night we had our annual meeting at church. It’s a time when we come together to review the past year, discuss, and plan for the year ahead. This year will be different for our church. You see, we are embarking on a large project. A project that carries with it much emotion. Over the…

It’s Fitting

This was one of those mornings, friends, when I was simply drawing a blank on what to share here in the little blog. I have to admit, we’ve spent the last day checking on family and friends in the midst of this winter storm. I’ve been watching weather reports and hoping that everyone still has…

His Creatures

Yesterday, I spent the day on the water. I know, I know, many of you reading this were/are hunkered down through a major winter storm. Continued prayers for all of you in the frozen tundra! It was a beautiful day, and almost perfect for being on the water. I have found recently that I just…

Watching

There have been times in this life when I’ve had people tell me they feel like Father is testing them. I’m not one to believe that He does that. I don’t see the Lord creating us, His children, to test us. I do, however, believe that He watches how we handle situations. Because of our…

God Centered

A friend of mine shared something on social media yesterday. It’s a wonderful story about the Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Even if you are not officially an Indiana fan, you have to admit that the championship game the other night was unbelievable in many ways. I wanted to share this story here for several…

Drop I

There’s an old saying, “There’s no ‘I’ in team”. It’s pretty cliche’ I guess, but it’s very true as well, figuratively and literally. There is also no ‘I’ in Jesus or Father. Hmmm, great observation on my part, right? Well, just hear me out for a moment. I was walking this morning, thinking about projects…

Lost and Found

We got a call yesterday from one of our parishioners. John had lost his phone and glasses and was fairly certain that he had left them in the pew where he had been sitting on Sunday morning. I asked my facilities manager to go on the hunt for the missing items. He searched everywhere in…

The Touch

Yesterday I was at church longer than usual. I actually went to two services. “Wow, she needed some extra Jesus”, you are probably thinking. Well, I can always use more Jesus, although that wasn’t the reason for two services. I’m fortunate to be close friends with the world’s best photographer team, and yesterday they came…

Let Him Have This Day

I’m heading out early this morning. The 1/2 marathon runs right by our church, so I’m trying to beat the runners, lol, pun intended. So friends, I’ll just share a tune for you to start your Sunday. May your day be filled with opportunities to spend time with Father. Let Him have this day 🙂…

Orderly

There is something to be said for having things neat and orderly in our lives. I guess the new year brings the opportunity to do things a little differently. This morning, as I’m getting ready to head out for some errands, I took a moment to tidy up my desk. I put away things that…
