The Walking Away Part

A friend messaged me thanking me for the message in this little blog yesterday. He commented that he had some things on his mind recently that were keeping him up at night. My message yesterday was about laying things at the foot of Jesus and leaving them there. Walk away from them and move on.…

The Tile Craze

Over the past year or so, I’ve watched the Mahjong craze grow and grow. It’s all over social media; many of my friends have taken up the game, and at our church on Wednesdays, there is a faithful crowd that enjoys almost three hours of play. Even in our small community, there is a group…

The Light of Life

I’m dragging a bit today. I woke up around 2:00 a.m. to a beeping from my phone. I honestly thought my alarm was going off and it was time to get up. When I rolled over to shut it off, I couldn’t see anything. Not only was the alarm clock face totally black, but I…

Hey Jesus

This morning I was reading a few different prayers written by others. This week we are starting to remove items from the church. It’s daunting in many ways as we work through what to store, what to keep and where, what we no longer need, etc. Yesterday, I found myself just saying, “I have to…

Just What We Need

Last night I sent a text to my older brothers. I found a meme on social media that just simply hit home. Actually, it was a picture of a T-shirt offered by a company called wooftees.com. The shirt has a cartoon picture of what appears to be a husky holding a cup of coffee and…

The History

One of my team members has been working on a project for us. As we are getting ready to take down and rebuild our church, we have been sharing much of the history of our little church on social media. It’s been interesting to learn all about how it began. The first service was actually…

The Two Lights

My husband and I took a walk after dinner last night. A little routine we’ve started. As we were beginning, I stopped and backed up a few steps because something caught my eye. It was the moon, a huge moon shining bright in the sky. The sun had not yet set, and the two lights…

Prayers for Indy

Many years ago, a friend told me about a couple who sang country, Christian, and folk music. Joey and Rory Feek were “up and coming” when I first learned about them. I enjoyed learning about their story, their getting together, the birth of their little girl, Indiana, and then the sadness of Joey’s cancer diagnosis.…

I Couldn’t Write

I didn’t write a little blog yesterday. To be honest, I don’t think it would have been a good thing to do. You see, I was upset. I was angry, sad, disgusted, and several other adjectives I can think of. When I woke up yesterday, those feelings were still strong, and I thought it best…

All Will Be Well

Over the past week, I’ve heard this phrase from different people at different times. Last night we had dinner with some dear friends. Schedules have been crazy, and we just haven’t had the time to get together, so it was wonderful to reconnect. We were discussing our church project; they, too, are parishioners. We talked…
