Hit Your Stride

Yesterday was an interesting day of sorts. The restoration of areas of our campus continues following Hurricane Milton, and they’ve moved into repair of our offices. Sooo, things are a little messy. My office for instance has all the furniture moved to the middle so they can replace drywall and such. It’s disruptive but I…

It Can be Mended

A few days ago I shared with you all that I broke a special Christmas ornament. I guess you could call it an heirloom of sorts, which I made as a child. You can read more about that in this little blog. I was not a happy camper on Sunday that is for sure. Well, the…

The Carol of Our Father

We have an unspoken rule in our house that we don’t listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Now granted, usually first thing the next day I’ve got our favorite carols playing. It’s always enjoyable when that one song comes on and I’m like, “Ah, I love this one!”. Over the past few years, I’ve…

More Thanks

It’s an exciting week, not only are we celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are celebrating the return to services in our church this weekend. It’s been a busy few months since Hurricane Milton came through and my goodness I’ve learned a ton. I never thought I’d be able to talk about HVAC systems, floor restoration, drywall…

Morning friends. Taking a break today and heading over to the farmer’s market. Yes our farmer’s markets are in the winter here in Florida.

Does He Test

I was thinking about this the other day, wondering, does Father put us in situations to test us, to see how we will respond? I have to admit the answer to that might be above my pay grade. I think it’s a fair question to ask and I’m sure it can make for a very…

Yes Jesus Loves Me

Well yes, yes He does. Jesus does love me, He loves everyone regardless of how we may falter. This morning as I sat down to write this little blog, you all know I did what I usually do…asked how best to share His message. However, unlike most mornings, this morning, I didn’t feel or hear…

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…

I Want To Be Here

There are several ways to look at the title of this little blog this morning. If you’re like me you’ve probably thought of your favorite happy place, like the beach, or maybe the mountains, and thought to yourself, “I just want to be here all the time”. When you spend time with your family, catch…

The Power of Connection

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. Kids from various schools around the area attend the after-school program. For Halloween, the Y has a contest where the youth…
