Checking In

We’re on day five I think, of a very large “swath” of rain that has settled over South Florida. It pretty much starts on one side of the state and moves all the way across to the other side. Usually by the afternoon drizzles have turned to buckets being dumped from the sky. Ya, let’s…

Finding God’s Promise

When I started this little blog a few years ago I came up with the name Inspirasuns. The tagline is “Finding God’s Promise through sunrises & sunsets”. I’ve been taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets forever, and I’m fortunate to have tons of friends who send them to me now. I’ve even started sharing many…

Don’t Just Say the Words

I find myself some days asking Father for the same things when I pray. I guess that isn’t so unusual. You know, asking for Him to keep family safe, asking for forgiveness of sins, guidance through the day, very common and needed prayers of course. However, I do find myself asking for specific things and…

Changing the Sheets

One of my least favorite chores at home is to change the sheets on the bed. I don’t have a good reason really, I mean it’s not difficult. I just dread pulling off our heavy comforter, then the back and forth from one side to the other, making sure I don’t have more blanket than…

The Children in Us All

Last night my husband and I stopped on the way home from work to grab a bite to eat. Many of the local restaurants run wonderful specials during the off-season here. It gives the locals a chance to visit new places without the crazy crowds, and in turn, we help the small business owners to…

You Never Know

One of the things that I enjoy the most about my job is helping people through the life decisions they are making. I’m here to make sure their wedding day pulls off without a hitch. When parents reach out about baptizing their children, I talk them through the logistics and get to prep all of…

Picture This

Like most couples, we have many pictures around our home. Pictures of kids and grandkids growing up over the years. Pictures with friends, pictures of my husband and I at all stages of our life placed all throughout our home. We also have various pictures of our parents to round out the displays. Last night,…

The Pillar of Prayer

If you are like me, you offer prayers to Father many times a day. Some days I offer more than others, depending on what is happening. I guess we’re all probably that way. If things are going well in our lives, then we enjoy and have that occasional chat with Him. However, when things get…

Clearing the Haze

Here in SW Florida, we’ve been fighting a drought for a while. Even through the rainy season last year, we didn’t get enough to bring our water tables back to normal. Even in our little community where we have sprinklers that water plants daily, we have patches of grass that have gone dormant and have…

Sewing the Seeds

Yesterday I headed out early to spend a few hours with a group of women I’ve come to know more closely over the past year. Now, if you’ve been reading this little blog for long you know that I’m pretty partial to my Saturday mornings. I tend to get started a little later, (that’s code…
