He Could Have
On the way home from dinner last night, my husband and I had an interesting conversation. I have to admit, I’m not quite sure how we got to the subject, but I’m glad we did. I kind of had an epiphany, so to speak. We were discussing the struggles or challenges that people face. I…

Roll It All Together
We’re on the downside of the week. I’ve said it before, man, the older we get, the faster time goes! This morning I was reading some prayers, and I realized that together they expressed my feelings for today. The week is nearing its end, and my hope is that Father helps me to just be…

Do It Anyway
When our kids were growing up, there were times they’d come home complaining about a teacher or another student. They just didn’t “mesh” with the other person. I remember we’d tell them that there would be many times in life when they would encounter people they didn’t necessarily care for, but they’d have to interact…

What’s Your Perspective
Throughout last week, I found myself at different points in, well, not a good place. My mind was filled with things to do, not just at work but at home. As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m a list maker, and as you can imagine, I have them everywhere. Multiple, actually. By the end of the…

When He Tries
This morning, as I was thinking about this past week, I thought about all the ways that the fallen one tried to disrupt plans. Boy, he was active; that is for sure. He found little cracks and went to work to make them craters. He tried to plant seeds of doubt. He tried to sew…

It Is What It Is – Or Is It
Yesterday morning as I was heading out the door to work, my facilities manager sent me a text message. It was a video and he simply said “be prepared for a computer glitch”. The video was of my pc at work making some sort of crazy beeping noise and an error message on the screen.…

Humbleness and Humility
This morning, right on schedule, I received my daily scripture reading and reflection from my Priest friend. I’ve mentioned him before here in this little blog. Like this little blog, there are days when his text just hits home. I find myself saying, “I needed this today”, after reading it. Today was one of those…

In The Rain
We’ve finally gotten into a “traditional” Florida rain pattern. When I was younger, I would visit my dad here, and you could set your watch by the summer rains in the afternoon. They would roll in around 3:00 p.m., stick around for about an hour, and be done. It was pretty much an everyday occurrence.…

Ace
I’ve been following a story from Polk County, FL over the past few days. It’s a sad story, but one that also shows the heart of God’s children and how they come together in difficult times. The story is about one of the county’s K-9 officers named Ace. Ace was shot by a wanted suspect…

The Opposite
Yesterday morning in this little blog, I wrote about the oddness of the week. Well, I’m happy to say the oddness continued throughout the day 🙂 . It truly got to the point where my co-workers and I had to just laugh about the things that were happening. At one point, we jokingly started listing…
