When Ops Mind Meets Emotion
This is the final week in our little church before the construction gets underway. Yesterday, during the service, our clergy referenced several times, “Next Sunday we’ll hold our final services in this building”. I have to admit, hearing those words made it all real. Over the past months, I’ve shared about our project to take…

A Little Thought or Was It?
My daughter called me yesterday afternoon to chat. She’d had a rough day at work and just needed to let it out. Actually, I’d had a pretty weird day as well, so it was nice to talk. I tried to lend support where I could, and she did the same. By the end of the…

A Village of Skills
We’re just a little over a week away from our final Sunday in our little church before construction begins. This week, we cleared the final approvals from the city and submitted all the necessary paperwork to obtain permits. Trust me, the permitting process is for another blog, if ever 🙂 . As I’ve mentioned here…

A Simple Soul
Like the rest of the world, yesterday afternoon I heard the news that Dolly Parton had passed away. I was sad because I knew she had been struggling with health issues for a while. One of my friends said, “She hasn’t been well since her husband passed away”. She was a lovely woman. My goodness,…

Ironing With God
This morning I spent some time ironing. Unlike many people, I don’t mind it. It’s actually relaxing to me, and this morning even more so. You see, I was ironing altar linens. One of my very first little blogs was about ironing these linens. You see, there is a method to it. They are folded…

He Could Have
On the way home from dinner last night, my husband and I had an interesting conversation. I have to admit, I’m not quite sure how we got to the subject, but I’m glad we did. I kind of had an epiphany, so to speak. We were discussing the struggles or challenges that people face. I…

Roll It All Together
We’re on the downside of the week. I’ve said it before, man, the older we get, the faster time goes! This morning I was reading some prayers, and I realized that together they expressed my feelings for today. The week is nearing its end, and my hope is that Father helps me to just be…

Do It Anyway
When our kids were growing up, there were times they’d come home complaining about a teacher or another student. They just didn’t “mesh” with the other person. I remember we’d tell them that there would be many times in life when they would encounter people they didn’t necessarily care for, but they’d have to interact…

What’s Your Perspective
Throughout last week, I found myself at different points in, well, not a good place. My mind was filled with things to do, not just at work but at home. As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m a list maker, and as you can imagine, I have them everywhere. Multiple, actually. By the end of the…

When He Tries
This morning, as I was thinking about this past week, I thought about all the ways that the fallen one tried to disrupt plans. Boy, he was active; that is for sure. He found little cracks and went to work to make them craters. He tried to plant seeds of doubt. He tried to sew…
