Keep Doing

This morning I changed things up a bit. My usual routine is to spend time with Father on the lanai, having a morning chat, so to speak. Then I make my way to my desk to put some ramblings here in this little space. Then I’ll head out to ride my bike. Well, I had…

What Speaks to You

You all know that at the end of each little blog, I share a scripture verse. Over the past three years that I’ve been writing this little blog, I’ve come across verses that have truly spoken to me. I find myself digging into the chapter of the Bible where the verse is taken from. In…

It Takes Time

One of the things I miss the most about living in a condo is having a large yard with an area for a garden, and lots of flower beds and pots. I used to love the spring and summer months, when I could just dig in the dirt. Now granted, I was never a master…

When Two Become One

I had planned to write a short little blog this morning about our special day. You see, today is our wedding anniversary 🙂 . I’ve known my better half for over 40 years and can’t think of anyone else I would have rather spent those years with. Yes, we’ve had our challenges, all married couples…

Small Labors

One of the very first little blogs I wrote, almost three years ago now, was about taking care of the linens in our church. It’s timely I guess because just this morning I was ironing the linens to take with me to church. It reminded me of that little blog and I thought today might…

How ‘Bout Brunch

Later this morning, we’re going to treat ourselves to brunch with friends we haven’t seen in quite a while. Actually, that’s not entirely true. We see them almost every week. They are neighbors and we’ll chat briefly while their fur baby is walking them in the mornings 🙂 . However, we haven’t been able to…

The Stained Glass

We’ve been working on this little outbuilding next to our church. It’s being transformed into what we are calling the All Souls Chapel. You see, on the East and West sides of our church are sacred churchyards. These are blessed grounds where parishioners have chosen to have their ashes placed upon their death. The churchyards…

Twenty Seven Later

Yesterday I was meeting with a group of people. We have a new group that is being made available at our church, and a few of us are beta testing it. It allows the facilitators to go through the curriculum and make sure the process flows the way they would like. I volunteered to participate,…

Face It Head On

About a year ago, I set out to learn the process of making sourdough bread. Now you probably think that isn’t a big deal. Well, you don’t know my history of dealing with anything involving yeast or “rising”. It hasn’t been pretty. Well, it’s been pretty, like pretty awful. Over the years, I’ve wanted to…

Trust to Heal

This morning, friends, I come to this little blog with a request. As I look back on this week, I’ve seen so many who are hurting. Some friends have health issues causing physical pain, some who are saying goodbye to loved ones and their hearts ache, others are dealing with uncertainty in their jobs. I…
