All Will Be Well
Over the past week, I’ve heard this phrase from different people at different times. Last night we had dinner with some dear friends. Schedules have been crazy, and we just haven’t had the time to get together, so it was wonderful to reconnect. We were discussing our church project; they, too, are parishioners. We talked…

Say Nothing
This morning, I was sitting with Father in the quiet. I had my usual petitions, praying for those I love, those who need prayers of healing and strength, and prayers for guidance. Then, I just sat quietly. I relaxed, listened, and said nothing. I just let Him in. I felt peace, I felt calm. It…

God Doesn’t See Walls
A few months ago, in this little blog, I shared that we are in the midst of a big project at church. Well, actually, that is the big project. After extensive research and thoughtful prayer, we made the decision that we must take down the current building and rebuild it at a higher elevation. The…

Back to Simple
Last night we had dinner with a few friends, well, like 70 of ’em. During the summer (the “off-season), here in SW Florida, our church works with local restaurants to host dinners. I’ve mentioned them here before. It’s a great way to support the local businesses, especially during slower times, and our parishioners who live…

I Am Where You Are
You all know that I spend time on my lanai each morning and evening to spend quiet time with Father. The morning is especially nice because it is so quiet. Every day, I ask the Lord to guide my path. I ask Him to show me His plan and to help me carry out that…

Where Did It Go
I ask myself this question almost every day. Where did the time go? As I get older, I’m asking myself this question in terms of years, because those seem to be flying by too 🙂 . Today, I’m asking myself where the last 21 years went. Our grandson, “little” Austin, has a big birthday today.…

They Want What You Got
I’ve mentioned here in this little blog many times before that you just never know how your small interaction with someone can change their life. You never know when just your behavior, showing Jesus within you, will bring someone closer to Him. Yesterday I attended the funeral of a long-time parishioner. He was 92 years…

A Reminder to Myself
I have a pretty full day ahead of me, but I’m going to make a point of carving out time for a walk on the beach. Headed for a little pampering this morning, clean up my shaggy head of hair, then a funeral this afternoon. In between those things, I need some saltwater sand in…

It’s Not Tuff
There is an old saying, “Do the right thing even when no one is looking”. It doesn’t need a whole lot of explanation. This morning, as I was sitting on the lanai having my morning chat with Him, I thought about a situation recently. I’m really not sure why this particular time came to mind,…

Consistency
As I’ve restarted my fitness journey, one thing that is so important is consistency. Stay consistent with the way you eat, get rest, exercise, and water, oh, and sunshine every day. The more consistent you can be, the better your body feels. I thought about consistency this morning, but in a different way. Yes, my…
