You’re Not Weak
It’s a busy week ahead. We have a very large event on Thursday that I’m overseeing. Each year our church gives grants to local charities in our county. This year we’ve approved grants to 16 charities, and the event Thursday wraps up the grant process and secures the final funds needed for these organizations. It’s…

Message in Music
I’m always impressed with musicians, especially songwriters who can capture a message so effortlessly in their songs. I don’t have a creative brain, so people who have musical or artistic talent, well I’m in awe of them too 🙂 . Me, ya even my stick figures when I draw, don’t look like stick figures 🙂…

Saturday Service
Well, you all know that I tend to sleep in a bit on Saturdays. I guess I did, by an hour this morning 🙂 . We’re up early on my favorite day of the week as we’re headed to a day filled with service and some fun tossed in. As I’ve mentioned here in the…

Take Time to Make Time
A friend reached out a few days ago to say she was in town, well not far from me anyway, and asked if we could have lunch. My schedule that particular day was crazy and I was bummed as I replied that I didn’t think it would work out. A little while later she texted…

Listen

I’m…

Sing with the Heavenly Hosts
I’ve been a country music fan for as long as I can remember. I’m a fan of the old stuff for sure. Don’t get me wrong, some of the new artists are awesome, I just like the oldies. I shared many little blogs ago that Johnny Cash is actually a cousin on my mom’s side. Maybe that’s where the…

New Day, New Week
Oh yes…the beginning of a new week. We all know the feeling, it usually starts on Sunday evening. You realize, “Where did the weekend go?”. Mondays, in my opinion, have gotten a bad rap. Just because they are usually the first day of the week, usually associated with going back to work after a few days off, you get…

Friends, Laughter, Looks
Last night we had dinner with some long-time friends. They were down here for a few days. Our friendship goes way back, to when our kids were little. We’ve always been close, and though we are physically in different areas of the country now, when the opportunity presents itself, we get together. And…when we do, we usually just pick…

Sunrises and Market”ing”
I woke up early this morning. Big deal you say. Well, if you’ve read this little blog much, you know that I usually like to sleep in a bit on Saturdays. This morning though I’m heading out to our local farmer’s market. We’ve lived here many years and I’ve yet to go to it. Yes, in Florida, especially SW Florida,…
