Happiness in a Tune

As I wrote in this little blog last week, I had family in town last weekend. My brother and sister-in-law were here for a few days and as I shared, we had a wonderful time. We took them for a sunset cruise around Naples and after a short rain shower, watched a beautiful sunset. As…

We had a little fun yesterday afternoon, well last evening I should say. My granddaughter called us to tell us about her week. She works part-time at the local YMCA as an after-school counselor.

As I type this blog, Milton has passed through most of the state. He is making his final exit on the northeast side, and I am lifting prayers for friends in that area and for everyone in the state affected by this storm. As the sun rises this morning we will assess the damage. Our…

Father Hear Our Prayer

It’s erie this morning. For the first time in days, we have a pause in the rain and actually see some sunshine peek through the clouds. It’s very quiet, truly the calm before the storm. Milton is an angry boy headed for the Florida West Coast. As I’ve been helping with our disaster recovery group activities, sharing…

Many Hands

Yesterday we made our way through the big task of securing our church and campus for the upcoming storm. As you can probably guess, there are many moving parts, and takes time to accomplish. The forecast for Milton requires that we do a full battening down of the hatches so to speak. As we put…
