Open Up
Last night I woke up as a cramp in my calf grabbed hold of me. Oy, they are the worst! I hopped out of bed and did a stretch to loosen things up. I felt like I had relaxed everything enough to crawl back into bed. If you’ve ever had a cramp in your leg,…

Rain, Cards, Jesus
I woke up with a start this morning when the thunderstorm outside made itself a little more known. Oy, it was a big thunderboomer as we say. Once I had settled myself, the next thought that came to mind was, “Well, so much for riding my bike or walking outside this morning”. I can’t really…

Start Somewhere
I shared a few months ago in this little blog about the project to take down and rebuild our church. It’s an emotional project, as you can probably imagine. We are just a few meetings away from final approvals from the local officials, and I guess you could say, it’s getting real. We are at…

God’s Work
Yesterday I spent time out on the water. As I mentioned in the little blog yesterday morning, the weather forecast wasn’t the greatest, but that was ok. For once, they were pretty accurate; it drizzled most of the day. You know what, that was ok, it was so peaceful, I didn’t see anyone for hours,…

Overcast
I’m headed out this morning to one of my happy places, the water. Fishing pole in hand, I’m hoping to get back into the groove of doing this like I used to. Most weekends, you could find me fishing someplace, and now that I can be on the water, well, I’ve got no excuses. I’ve…

Plug In
This morning, as I rode my bike, I was listening to a replay of CeCe Winans giving the sermon at her church on Mother’s Day. Wow, it was such a good message, as she spoke about mothers praying for their daughters. Actually, the title of her sermon was, “Don’t Stop Praying”. As I listened to…

Being Content
We were fortunate to spend the long weekend with family. We gathered to celebrate the anniversary and dual birthdays of our nephew and his wife. Family from multiple states came together to celebrate and catch up on life happenings. It was a joyous time, and we all commented as we said our goodbyes, how great…

The First Memorial Day
This weekend, we celebrate Memorial Day. Yes, there will be barbecues and picnics, parades and music. It’s a three-day weekend and has often been referred to as the “official start of summer”. My prayer, though, is that everyone stops for a moment on Monday and remembers truly why we hold this holiday so dear. I’ve…

Feeling Lost
Over the three years that I’ve been writing this little blog, many have mentioned to me how much they look forward to it being there for them each morning. “I love to start my day by reading and enjoying my coffee”, I’ve heard many times. If I take a break for family time, holidays, and…
