Father in the Midst

Yesterday was a very full and busy day, and you know what, Father was in the midst of all of it. A few days ago I mentioned a parishioner who I spent time with while she was planning her husband’s memorial service. Well, yesterday we held that service and it was simply beautiful. The memories…

Fried Chicken & Perry Mason

Now that is an interesting title for a blog post. I’m guessing you are wondering where the heck this one came from right? It really is kind of funny how it came to be. Last night my husband and I were driving home from work. I realized I didn’t take anything out for dinner so…

Simple Beauty

One of the things you learn about when you move to Florida is the orchid plant. Not long after moving here a neighbor gave me one as a welcome gift. I had seen them up north of course but nothing like I see them here in the warm climate. I’m by no means a pro…

If Every Day Were Easter

Ahh, yes, taking a little time today to relax. It was a very busy week last week, culminating in an absolutely wonderful Easter Sunday. The excitement of the kids, the smiles, the uplifting feeling of Christ risen, it was everywhere. Oh how this world needs to feel this every day, what a difference it would…

Sadness & Waiting

Today we wait. Holy Saturday, Jesus has died and we wait for His rising again. We are fortunate, we know the end of the story. Could you imagine though living in His time? I can just feel the sadness and despair his followers must have felt on this day back then. A friend of mine…

Forgive Them

Today is the most solemn day of the year. The day when one man gave His life for the world. Father sacrificed His only Son, sent from Heaven, given to us, to literally die for us. The depth of love that is shown in this act is beyond anything our minds and hearts can even…
