He Made US

I was having dinner with some folks last night, several were much younger than me, like my youngest daughter’s age. So, yes, young enough to be my children. I was listening to their conversation about technology. They talked about how they don’t use cash, they use Apple Pay for everything, they even use their watch…

Can You Just Guide Me

I think we have all probably been in a place where we feel lost. We’re struggling to make heads or tales of whatever is in our hands. We feel like we are floating on the ocean and there is no lighthouse or beach to guide us. I know I have been there, many times in…

1000 Ramblings

Wow, today, this little blog that I’m writing, well, it’s my 1000th. It’s hard to believe that I’ve written that many of these and it’s even harder to believe that you’ve all been here to read my little ramblings 🙂 . When I started this little blog, almost three years ago, (July 17, 2022), I…

But I Wanted

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

Today is a busy day and one that provides so many opportunities to help others. Our church is holding one of its big community sales. Our thrift store, just recently restored from hurricane Milton, has been feverishly collecting “gently used” items from parishioners and other donors over the past weeks. Baby cribs to jewelry, housewares…
