Stick With It

So you all know I’ve started back on my fitness journey, faithfully, I guess you could say, almost a month ago. I’ve learned some things over these past weeks. First, it’s so much easier to have a steady exercise routine than to try to start one again. Back in my corporate America days, we used…

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…

His Day

Yesterday, after church, my husband and I were headed to have breakfast with some friends of ours. I’ve mentioned here before that it’s become our weekly routine, and the question of the day is, “So where are we going this morning?” We love catching up with them each Sunday, and to say there may be…

A Way to Live

Yesterday, we celebrated the life of a sweet friend, Polly. I shared a about her in a little blog post last week. Polly was the Parish Administrator before me, and she was one of the most loving, supportive, and well, funny women I have ever met. She was such a gentle soul. I know she…

Turning the Cheek

I’ve shared with you all that I have a dear friend who is an Anglican priest. Every day, he sends a devotional/educational/inspirational text. His text today was timely. This morning, he shared the reading from Matthew where Jesus asks us to turn the other cheek. I have to admit, I struggle with this gospel; it’s…

Going With the Flow

There has been a sort of theme for these little blog posts this week. Um, not by my doing. The theme is about how many things, well, most things in this life are out of our control. Fortunately, as I’ve said in those other blog posts, we have Jesus to help us through those times.…

No Longer Imagining

If you’re like me, there are times when you feel a little down, and maybe you aren’t even sure why. For me, this week, even though I’m with a wonderful group of people, the senior golf group that I work with, I’m feeling out of sorts. I shared yesterday in this little blog about my…

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…
