Open Up
Last night I woke up as a cramp in my calf grabbed hold of me. Oy, they are the worst! I hopped out of bed and did a stretch to loosen things up. I felt like I had relaxed everything enough to crawl back into bed. If you’ve ever had a cramp in your leg,…

Rain, Cards, Jesus
I woke up with a start this morning when the thunderstorm outside made itself a little more known. Oy, it was a big thunderboomer as we say. Once I had settled myself, the next thought that came to mind was, “Well, so much for riding my bike or walking outside this morning”. I can’t really…

Overcast
I’m headed out this morning to one of my happy places, the water. Fishing pole in hand, I’m hoping to get back into the groove of doing this like I used to. Most weekends, you could find me fishing someplace, and now that I can be on the water, well, I’ve got no excuses. I’ve…

The First Memorial Day
This weekend, we celebrate Memorial Day. Yes, there will be barbecues and picnics, parades and music. It’s a three-day weekend and has often been referred to as the “official start of summer”. My prayer, though, is that everyone stops for a moment on Monday and remembers truly why we hold this holiday so dear. I’ve…

Feeling Lost
Over the three years that I’ve been writing this little blog, many have mentioned to me how much they look forward to it being there for them each morning. “I love to start my day by reading and enjoying my coffee”, I’ve heard many times. If I take a break for family time, holidays, and…

Perspective at Dawn
My husband and I are early risers during the week. We’ve been that way for many, many years. There is just so much you can accomplish when the rest of the world is still sleeping 🙂 . I have to admit, though, recently I’m realizing that maybe I don’t have to rise quite so early.…

A Daily Choice
Our days are filled with choices. Just think about everything you choose each day. What to wear, what to eat, which route to take to work, and if you’re in Naples, do I use a turn signal or not, LOL! The choices we make every day, well, in many cases they are too many to…

Is It Better
I’ve shared with you all before that sometimes I come to this little blog and don’t have a clue what to share. Maybe it’s because things in life are going well. I tend to draw on happenings from the previous day or so, and if it’s been kind of quiet, well, then I am searching…

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…
