Satan Loves Anger

Quite the title of this little blog today, I guess. It’s true, though. Satan takes great pleasure in watching God’s children become angry, lash out, and be unhappy. He knows that in those moments, he can get into our thoughts and encourage more of the same. He loves to egg us on, tell us behind…

I Know the Plans

We’ve all had those times when things didn’t go the way we hoped. Heck, we even pray for things to go a certain way, and they don’t. And… sometimes it’s extremely disappointing or even painful when things don’t go the way we planned. I know when it happens to me, I’m sad or even upset…

Not Today

Do you ever have those days when you just aren’t quite sure where the time went and what the heck you did with it? Ya, that would be my morning so far. I opted for a different workout routine this morning, and to say it has thrown me all out of whack, ya, that’s an…

Where Are You

On my bike ride this morning, I was asking Father to help me hear Him as I rode. I was talking about my day, what was on my to-do list, and asking Him to guide me through the day. As I rode, I found myself asking Him, “What was it like, those conversations that you…

Keep Coming Back

Take a moment to think about your favorite restaurant. What makes it your favorite place? Is it the food, the atmosphere, the service, the people who go there, what makes it so special to you? When I think about the few places that my husband and I love to go, I’m reminded of the wonderful…

Remembering

Every now and then, there comes along a person who has such love and joy in their heart, there can’t help but be an immediate connection. That was Polly. Polly was a mentor to me in my current role as Parish Administrator. She had been the heart of the office for many, many years before…

I’ve Noticed

I’m five days into getting myself healthy again. I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs this week that I had really let myself go over the past year in particular. I think Father had a hand in saying, “Ya, this is enough, you know better”. And…I did know better. When I got up this…

It’s Going to Anyway

Yesterday, I shared a little about my commitment to caring for the Temple the Lord has gifted me. It’s a journey that will take time; after all, I didn’t get this way overnight, even though it sure feels like it happened that quickly. It’s the “it will take some time” aspect that can be frustrating…

The Temple

There is an old saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting to get a different result. Ya, I think it’s pretty spot on. I thought about this as I was riding my bike this morning. Where the heck am I going with this little blog today,…

Keeping On

My husband and I were talking about this little blog last night. I was sharing that I never know when a little blog is going to touch someone. There are times when I hit the “publish” button and think, “Hmm, I’m not sure that was even coherent”. Yet, I’ll get several text messages or comments…
