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…

I’ve Noticed
I’m five days into getting myself healthy again. I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs this week that I had really let myself go over the past year in particular. I think Father had a hand in saying, “Ya, this is enough, you know better”. And…I did know better. When I got up this…

Books
Today’s little blog is something a tad different. My sister-in-law, whose husband, my brother-in-law Mac, passed away last September, is a writer. She’s getting back into it slowly, and I’m so glad to see that she is. We all process grief differently, and it takes time, much time. If we can allow ourselves to do…

It’s Going to Anyway
Yesterday, I shared a little about my commitment to caring for the Temple the Lord has gifted me. It’s a journey that will take time; after all, I didn’t get this way overnight, even though it sure feels like it happened that quickly. It’s the “it will take some time” aspect that can be frustrating…

The Temple
There is an old saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting to get a different result. Ya, I think it’s pretty spot on. I thought about this as I was riding my bike this morning. Where the heck am I going with this little blog today,…

Simple Moment
It’s Monday. Like many, I’m not quite sure where the weekend went. That old adage, “The older I get, the faster the time goes”, well, yes, yes, it’s true! Well, friends, it’s ok, we got this. I read this prayer this morning, a prayer for the start of a new week. Let’s take a simple…

Keeping On
My husband and I were talking about this little blog last night. I was sharing that I never know when a little blog is going to touch someone. There are times when I hit the “publish” button and think, “Hmm, I’m not sure that was even coherent”. Yet, I’ll get several text messages or comments…
