True Joy
Last night I was reading in my little red book, “The Practice of Religion”, which I’ve shared about before here in this little blog. It’s a wonderful book filled with prayers and small services to get you through all manner of life. I read evening prayer almost every night from it. Last night, though, I…

Be An Elf
Today, after church, our youth group kids will head out to shop for gifts for a wonderful organization with which we partner. The youth have been raising funds for an Advent service project to provide gifts for 100 children who are part of the Fun Time Academy here in Naples. This organization’s mission is to…

The Countdown
Well, here we are, just 5 days from Christmas. Hard to believe I know, and every year we say the same thing, “Where did the year go?”. Simple little blog today, friends. Like most of you, I’m wrapping up last-minute Christmas tasks and errands. So I thought it would be fun, as we count down…

When God Says Enough
If you read this little blog daily, you probably noticed that I didn’t publish one yesterday. There is a story behind why that I would like to share. I’ve talked a little bit here about a very close group of friends who, over time we have we have become prayer warriors as well. Well, a…

A Price
I’ve shared with you all before that sometimes I come to this little blog and don’t have a clue what I’m going to say. Father usually gives me a boost, and everything falls into place. Well, this morning I had just the opposite issue. I have several thoughts that I’d like to share, and I’m…

Share a Little Jesus
A few months ago, I shared here in this little blog about a “Little Jesus” that a friend had given me. Over the course of several weeks after receiving Him, I started to see these little figures in various places, restaurants, stores, even at the car rental counter in the airport! I began carrying mine…

In the Midst of Advent
This is the third Sunday of Advent. It’s known as Rose Sunday. If you have an Advent wreath, this is the Sunday that we light the pink candle. Rose Sunday is when we take a little break from the somberness of Advent to enjoy the excitement of the coming of the Baby Jesus. I read…

Let Your Light Shine
For me, today is one of the most special days of the year. Today is National Wreaths Across America Day. This organization’s mission is to lay a wreath at the gravesite of every veteran, and they are making progress for sure. The act of taking time to personally lay a wreath at the grave of…

Dual Meaning
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Believe sung by Josh Groban. This is the title song for the movie Polar Express. I’m sure you are all familiar with the plot. A young boy has come to that sad point where he no longer believes in Santa, or at least he’s close to it. The…

It’s Not About…
I was thinking about this little blog this morning. It was one of those mornings when I was struggling a bit about what to share. Even my morning check-in with Father didn’t really yield a message, which is unusual. However, throughout the morning, my mind keeps returning to a situation from yesterday. I don’t want…
