Be Intentional

For Lent, I committed to reading more of my Bible. I’ve been intentional about it, sitting down and even moving things out of the way on my desk, so that my Bible is the focus. Many years ago, I was listening to a podcast, which was a Bible study of sorts. Anyway, at one point,…

Put Me In Coach

So right about now, I’m guessing you have the chorus from the John Fogerty song from about 40 years ago running through your head. No, that wasn’t my intent, but ever since I thought about the message for today’s little blog post, I must admit, it’s been running through mine. I’ve shared here before that…

Stay Connected

You all know how much I enjoy my Saturdays. Today will be no different, actually, maybe even more so today. A little pampering on deck, and then time on the water before the cold front hits us again. Our local weather guy said yesterday, “We get to see all four seasons in the next 5…

A Ride and a Message

This morning I rode my bike around our community. I’m usually out on the road by about 5:15 before the work traffic hits the streets. So, as you can imagine, it’s still dark, and that’s ok. It’s about six miles around our community. It’s a big circle, and much of the ride is “inside the…

Reflect and Recommit

Today, we begin the Lenten season. The 40 days before Easter (not including Sundays). A time of reflection and repentance. A time to dig deeper into our hearts, opening even more space for our Lord to live through us. In this little blog, I share a prayer I read this morning. O Merciful Father,Today I…

Not a Part-Time Job

I guess when you read the title of today’s little blog, you might be thinking I’m coming here to talk about work. Well, I am, sort of. I heard something this morning on my walk, while listening to a podcast, and boy, it struck me. The host said, “Jesus did not offer us a part-time…

Raincoat of Armor

My husband and I were chatting last night about the possibility of rain. We so need it here in SW Florida, well, the whole state needs it for that matter. We have some serious drought action happening. Fortunately, the forecast was calling for rain during the evening hours. This morning, when I got up, I…

Simple Gifts

This morning, I find myself thinking about yesterday and just feeling grateful. It was Valentine’s Day, and of course, I’m so grateful for the love of my life, my husband. We exchanged cards as we always do; we’re past the point of needing to get physical gifts. We have what we need in each other…

Love…Every Day

Another Valentine’s Day rolls around. A day when we celebrate love. A day filled with hearts, cards, chocolate, flowers, and all the things associated with love. We share these little gifts to show those we love that we care. What would happen, though, if we approached every day the way we do Valentine’s Day? I…

Just Another Day

I just realized that today is Friday the 13th. Ya, I used to wonder about all those superstitions. As my relationship with Christ has grown, all those have fallen away. Isn’t it amazing what we, God’s children, manage to concoct to push us further away from Him and His love? Let’s just look at today…
