Begin with Him

Ahh, Monday again. Does anyone else think that time on the weekends goes by ten times faster than it does during the week? It’s ok, yes, it’s Monday but hey, we got this. I was reading some uplifting prayers for Monday this morning. I came across one that spoke to me, and thought I’d share…

Weekend Wanderings

If you’ve been reading this little blog for very long you know that Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Well, ya I know, it’s a favorite day of the week for most people, for many obvious reasons. It’s typically a slower day for me and a day to get out and enjoy the…

Every Day is a New Day

I’m wrapping up what has been a wonderful few days with the seniors golf group I work with. At dinner last night it was fun to watch as people continued to be curious and learn more about each other. They learned about careers, families, and hobbies, (other than golf of course), and found connections to…

Focus on the Good Shots

I mentioned here yesterday in this little blog that I’m at one of the two events I plan each year for a special 65 and older golf group. The group started 60 years ago and they are just wonderful to work with and more importantly, to call them friends. They were in need of an…

He makes a point of going around the room through the entire class, encouraging, correcting, adjusting, and suggesting ways to improve the techniques we are learning. Most of the people in my 6:00 a.m. class are…

“Joe” and the Gym

Yesterday morning I went to the gym as I usually do. It’s always fun trying to get a parking space as there is a class before mine. I had to park a little further away than usual, and I noticed that there was someone in the car across from me. I hopped out of the…

Hearing or Listening

Lately, I’ve been praying about some things that I truly have no control over. Isn’t that when challenges seem the greatest when we have no control over them? We want to just fix things, we want to just make things better, but at the end of the day, we really do have to just give…

No Connection – No Problem

Have you ever left your phone somewhere and realized later that it truly wasn’t the end of the world? Actually, it was kind of nice not to have it with you, to just enjoy the silence. I’ve found myself in that situation a few times lately, and yes I’ve enjoyed the break and have found…

The Gift in Front of You

You all know that there are times when I draw a blank on what to write in this little blog. I’ve shared before that many times, actually more than many times, I don’t have a clue what to write. What I realized this morning is that there are days when I try too hard. There…
