Just Get Me Through

A friend and I were talking via text yesterday afternoon about the crazy schedules in our lives right now. It seems like we have just gotten up and before we know it the sun is setting, and the day has flown by. We’re juggling work, and home life, weekdays and weekends are filled, and the…

Father in the Pool

Yesterday in this little blog I shared that a group of friends had put together a surprise for a mutual friend/mentor of ours. We all have gathered here in SW Florida, some coming from as far away as California to spend time with a wonderful woman who has touched our lives. I think it’s safe…

The Personal Touch

Yesterday our youngest had to have some minor surgery. Out of respect for her, I won’t go into all the details, just a weird thing that happened with her elbow. We’re still not quite sure what caused it, but we are thankful that the doctors acted quickly and she’s on the mend. It’s always scary…

The 50 Days

I took a break from this little blog yesterday to enjoy a day off. Holy week was a very busy one, culminating in a glorious Easter. We were all clean tuckered out you might say. I spent yesterday with some sun and salt water therapy, trust me I highly recommend it. We’ve moved into the…

A Weekend of Support

The Beauty of Nothing

Well is that an interesting title to this little blog this morning? It came to me as I was having my morning chat with Father. You all know that there are many a morning when I ask Him for guidance on what to share here. This morning as I asked my usual question of what…

When Music Comes to Life

Last night, my husband and I had a date night. We went to see one of my favorite groups, Mercy Me, in concert. We’ve seen them before, many years ago, and I was just as excited to see them this time. We were supposed to see them last October, but Hurricane Milton forced them to…

The Power of Me

I feel pretty blessed for many, many reasons. I’ve got a wonderful husband, beautiful kids, grandkids, and friends that have become like family. I get to live in what we call paradise, and most importantly, I’m blessed with a loving relationship with Father. When I think about His children who don’t know Him, who don’t…

Unknown Laughter

Yesterday during our weekly team meeting we had a little fun with our Rector. Yes, it was April Fool’s Day, and though I’m usually not a fan of jokes commemorating this day, one of my team members had put some thought into one that was harmless. For the approximately two minutes it took for the…
