Always With Me

Over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed something during the night. I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m a pretty light sleeper, although that has improved, thank goodness. Anyway, recently, when I wake up in the evening, maybe a bathroom trip, for instance, I find I have a song playing in my head. It’s not…

Check In

Well, the crazy weather continues. Yesterday, while leaving work, my husband and I noticed all of the communities here in Naples covering their flower beds. I, too, checked in with our church landscaper to make sure he had a plan to protect ours. There is a cold snap, a pretty good one heading our way…

Share Prayer

Can we ever have too much prayer? I guess that is one of the silliest questions I might have ever posed in this little blog, right?! No, I don’t believe we can ever have too much prayer in our lives. I don’t believe we can pray too much for others. I don’t believe that we…

The Funk

I’m not sure about everyone else, but over the past few days, I’ve found myself in a “funk”. Maybe it’s the cold weather. Yes, I realize that we can’t complain because we’re not in the sub-zero temperatures here in SW Florida. However, it has been cold here, and this weekend we will be even colder.…

Raising

Last night we had our annual meeting at church. It’s a time when we come together to review the past year, discuss, and plan for the year ahead. This year will be different for our church. You see, we are embarking on a large project. A project that carries with it much emotion. Over the…

His Creatures

Yesterday, I spent the day on the water. I know, I know, many of you reading this were/are hunkered down through a major winter storm. Continued prayers for all of you in the frozen tundra! It was a beautiful day, and almost perfect for being on the water. I have found recently that I just…

The Winter Blast

We have a beautiful day on tap here in SW Florida. I don’t say that to rub it in, no, I say that to confirm how fortunate we are this weekend. Much of the United States is under a major winter weather advisory, with some areas expecting double-digit snow or even worse, an inch of…

Watching

There have been times in this life when I’ve had people tell me they feel like Father is testing them. I’m not one to believe that He does that. I don’t see the Lord creating us, His children, to test us. I do, however, believe that He watches how we handle situations. Because of our…

God Centered

A friend of mine shared something on social media yesterday. It’s a wonderful story about the Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Even if you are not officially an Indiana fan, you have to admit that the championship game the other night was unbelievable in many ways. I wanted to share this story here for several…

Drop I

There’s an old saying, “There’s no ‘I’ in team”. It’s pretty cliche’ I guess, but it’s very true as well, figuratively and literally. There is also no ‘I’ in Jesus or Father. Hmmm, great observation on my part, right? Well, just hear me out for a moment. I was walking this morning, thinking about projects…
