Raincoat of Armor

My husband and I were chatting last night about the possibility of rain. We so need it here in SW Florida, well, the whole state needs it for that matter. We have some serious drought action happening. Fortunately, the forecast was calling for rain during the evening hours. This morning, when I got up, I…

Don’t Let It

It’s been cold here the past few weeks in Florida. Now, before all you northerners give me a what for, let me continue 🙂 . If you’ve been following this little blog for long, you know that I sit on my lanai in the morning and evening to spend quiet time with Father. Well, the…

Comfortable

Take a moment to think about the relationships in your life. The relationship you have with your spouse, family, and close friends. Are you comfortable in those relationships? I’ve mentioned here before that we go to breakfast on Sunday mornings following church, with some good friends of ours. It’s kind of a joke now about…

The Funk

I’m not sure about everyone else, but over the past few days, I’ve found myself in a “funk”. Maybe it’s the cold weather. Yes, I realize that we can’t complain because we’re not in the sub-zero temperatures here in SW Florida. However, it has been cold here, and this weekend we will be even colder.…

Watching

There have been times in this life when I’ve had people tell me they feel like Father is testing them. I’m not one to believe that He does that. I don’t see the Lord creating us, His children, to test us. I do, however, believe that He watches how we handle situations. Because of our…

God Centered

A friend of mine shared something on social media yesterday. It’s a wonderful story about the Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Even if you are not officially an Indiana fan, you have to admit that the championship game the other night was unbelievable in many ways. I wanted to share this story here for several…

Drop I

There’s an old saying, “There’s no ‘I’ in team”. It’s pretty cliche’ I guess, but it’s very true as well, figuratively and literally. There is also no ‘I’ in Jesus or Father. Hmmm, great observation on my part, right? Well, just hear me out for a moment. I was walking this morning, thinking about projects…

Lost and Found

We got a call yesterday from one of our parishioners. John had lost his phone and glasses and was fairly certain that he had left them in the pew where he had been sitting on Sunday morning. I asked my facilities manager to go on the hunt for the missing items. He searched everywhere in…

The Touch

Yesterday I was at church longer than usual. I actually went to two services. “Wow, she needed some extra Jesus”, you are probably thinking. Well, I can always use more Jesus, although that wasn’t the reason for two services. I’m fortunate to be close friends with the world’s best photographer team, and yesterday they came…

Trust Him to Guide

Do you believe that Father brings people into our lives for a reason? I certainly do. I don’t believe there are coincidences; I believe that the Lord has a plan for all of us and uses all things for good. I know there are times when we face challenges and definitely don’t feel like anything…
