The Things That Bind

A friend of mine is an amazing cook. She has her own social media pages and those of us who have subscribed just love her daily recipes. It’s not just the scrumptious dishes, but healthy smoothies, and educational facts about the benefits of certain spices or herbs, she has it all. She started this series…

Recentered…Again

Have I mentioned lately that it’s pretty interesting how Father just seems to drop into places when you really aren’t expecting it? He seems to have some pretty impeccable timing. We’re all busy these days. I frequently comment that I’m not sure where the days are going. In the midst of that busyness, it’s easy…

Simple Support

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is talking to our parishioners. I’ve learned so much about so many wonderful people. My days are filled with people stopping in for various reasons, committee meetings, bible study, attending a service, volunteering, and planning a life event like a wedding or funeral. I have the…

Impromptu is Good

Last night some friends of ours asked us to come by and watch the sunset on the way home. It was an impromptu invite that grew into having a light dinner while wiggling toes in the sand. I didn’t realize it until I sat in the beach chair, and looked around at the families and…

Touching the Fringe

A friend of mine oversees a website for his church that shares wonderful daily scripture in small snippets. The Bible can be overwhelming to read at times, it gets easier over time and the more you read it, the more it reads you. So, though I’m trying to read the Bible cover to cover, I…

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…

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…

Santa Needs Prayers

Friends, this morning I’m coming to you to ask for prayers. You see one of the nicest men I’ve had the pleasure of knowing is having heart surgery today. Yes, as the title of this little blog implies, he’s Santa. Well, his name is Paul, but he’s Santa to those of us who know him.…

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…
