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…

Tuesday Faith

Faith, not just on Tuesdays as the title of this little blog implies, but every day. I want to thank all of you who reached out yesterday to say that you are still praying for Emily Rea and her family. It was good to see so many share the update from her family on social…

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…

Just Be Thankful

Have you ever just stopped and given thought to all the gifts the Lord has provided? Every day I give thanks, “in general,” for the gifts He has blessed me with. “Thank you, Lord, for all the gifts of this life” is in my morning and evening prayers. There are times when I list the…

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…
