God Speaks

There are times when he does, you know. If we allow ourselves to be open to listening, truly listening to Him, we will hear His message to us. This morning, I’ve been asking Father with more earnestness than usual to guide my steps and give me strength to accomplish a task today that won’t be…

Morning Words

I’ve shared before that I have a wonderful little book that my husband bought for me a few years ago. He has his own copy; it was his mother’s. The book, “The Practice of Religion,” is filled with prayers, hymns, daily readings, etc. My edition was published in 1950; I do believe the first printing…

Quiet

I walked this morning. I got an earlier start than usual, not by much, but it was earlier. As I walked and began my morning conversation with Father, I noticed how quiet it was. Talking with God and listening to the quiet, it was a very peaceful feeling. I found myself walking and just listening…

Palms and Perfection

We’re headed out this morning to ready our church for Palm Sunday services tomorrow. I have to admit, I love the way our church looks on this day. Don’t get me wrong, there is no denying the stunning beauty of Easter, all the lilies and spring flowers are amazing. However, the simplicity and meaningfulness of…

Operations of Easter

So, this week I’ve been talking with Father as I do my morning walk or bike ride. It’s been a nice change, as I’m spending more time in conversation and prayer. As I was riding along this morning, listening to the consistent hum of the tires, I began thinking about next week, Holy Week. To…

For Today

I’m a little out of sorts today, friends. My routine is out of whack, and before I knew it, the clock had moved by three hours, and it’s time to head out the door. I’m guessing you’ve had days like this. Too much on my mind, I guess. So I apologize for the short post.…

Serenity and Forgiveness

This morning I was riding my bike and talking with Father. It’s a routine I started this week, walking or riding and spending a little more time with Him each morning. As I frequently do, I asked what message I could share today in this little blog. This morning, the message didn’t come quickly; it…

Through the Haze

If you’ve followed this little blog for very long, you know that I have the pleasure of working with a 65+ senior golf group. They hold two outings a year, and I oversee the planning of those events and the general operations of the group. I’ve made some wonderful friends, many of whom have been…

More is Better

Hmm…the title of today’s little blog could be a good thing or not so much. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “The more the better”. Again, that can be a good thing, and then not so much. Take, for instance, our weather here in Florida this past eight months or so. We are called the…

R and R

It’s an abbreviation for “rest and recuperation”. I’m not sure if the military first coined the abbreviation or not, that I guess, is for another blog 🙂 . I know that we civilians have used it for as long as I can remember. I think back in the day, and probably still today, the military…
