Heavy Lifting

I’m pretty routine about going to my little gym. I’ve been a member there since not long after we moved here. Though it’s changed ownership, much of the clientele remained and our 6:00 a.m. group is pretty consistent. The type of workouts changed with the new ownership over a year ago, they really focus more…

To God

I went outside yesterday for lunch. It was nice to take a break and enjoy the sunshine. I’m a little spoiled as sitting outside for lunch for me means sitting on our dock overlooking the water and an occasional boat that may come by. As I ate lunch yesterday I noticed how active the water…

Best Way to Start

Well, friends, last night was a little restless. Actually, it was more than a little restless. It was one of those nights when you shut the light off because you know you have to go to sleep, but your body isn’t really ready for that. I’ve learned that when this happens I should probably just…

Stones, Ya Put Them Down

Last week I made a mistake, I gave some incorrect information to a guest who had come to the church for an event. He was a wonderful gentleman, and we had the best conversation, during which I found out he was 93 years old 🙂 . He had come for a meeting that morning and…

Dragging

If you’re like me you usually wake up before the alarm goes off each morning. Ya, I’m usually out of bed at least 10 minutes before the alarm. I’ve heard others say that their bodies just know what time it is and even on the weekends they wake up at that same time. Well, I…

God’s Test?

I’ve been thinking lately about the situations that occur in this life, the places that we find ourselves in. Those situations can find us asking questions, wondering why Father is testing us. What did we do to deserve the situation we’re in? Why are we facing the challenges we’re facing? It’s not uncommon to feel…

Back to the Bread

I was talking with a friend the other day, and she was sharing her excitement about the possibility of renting a house. She has been renting a condo for the last few years, and she has really wanted to just get into a house. She said to me, “I need to be able to get…

Guided by Father

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? I’ve said it so many times before in this little blog, I’m blessed to know so many wonderful people in this world, people with hearts the size of Texas 🙂 . Over the past several weeks as we’ve been finalizing our “Art of Giving” event I’ve…

Let Love be Genuine

Well, it’s a busy day on tap here. If you’ve been following along this week you know I’ve been overseeing a large event that’s taking place tonight at our church. Each year we raise funds for community outreach, and this year I’m happy to say we’ve approved grants for 16 organizations in the community. We…
