Through the Clouds

My husband and I spent a few days in the Upper Keys to celebrate our anniversary. It was a nice time away, and the life there is a tad more laid-back than here. Everywhere you look, people are in shorts, sandals, and usually a T-shirt referencing some local hangout, or something to do with fishing.…

The 39th

Today is a special day. My husband and I celebrate our 39th anniversary. I’m typing this from one of my favorite places, sitting by the sea. We got up early to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic with a cup of coffee. I have to say, I’ve never seen the sea so calm. As…

The Sign

I debated whether to do this topic in the little blog this morning, but maybe it’s Father telling me to move forward. It’s just been weighing on me, and it makes me sad. Now that I have you wondering what the heck she’s going to say… Well, for decades there has been a sign at…

The Olives

The preparations for our building project have continued this week. Yesterday was a hodgepodge of things, all of which needed to be addressed. We got our youth room set up for our young acolytes to get ready for service on Sunday (they used to do this in the loft of the church). Vestments not being…

You’re Not Alone

I’ve gotten into a routine of walking every morning during the week. I’ve shared here before that I’ve settled on a route around the golf club in our community. I’m getting to know the early morning workers, and if I time things right, I can see the sun rise over the course. I love the…

I Am With You Always

We begin a new week, and this morning, as I spent my usual morning time with Father, I asked Him, as I always do, to walk beside me today and this week. I asked for strength and for Him to guide my path so that I can do the work that He wants me to…

The Walking Away Part

A friend messaged me thanking me for the message in this little blog yesterday. He commented that he had some things on his mind recently that were keeping him up at night. My message yesterday was about laying things at the foot of Jesus and leaving them there. Walk away from them and move on.…

Knowing What We Need

Wow, I slept in a little later than usual this morning; I mean, even for a Saturday. I guess sometimes your body knows what you need, and you just have to listen. As I thought about that this morning, something else came to mind. I’m guessing you know what I’m going to say. Sometimes Father…

The Light of Life

I’m dragging a bit today. I woke up around 2:00 a.m. to a beeping from my phone. I honestly thought my alarm was going off and it was time to get up. When I rolled over to shut it off, I couldn’t see anything. Not only was the alarm clock face totally black, but I…

Home Is Where the Lord Is

We have some neighbors who, about a year ago, moved back up north to be closer to their children. Don and Judy were a wonderful couple and introduced themselves to us within days of moving to our community. We would chat each time we saw each other, getting the latest on Don’s pickleball game, Judy’s…
