The Two Lights
My husband and I took a walk after dinner last night. A little routine we’ve started. As we were beginning, I stopped and backed up a few steps because something caught my eye. It was the moon, a huge moon shining bright in the sky. The sun had not yet set, and the two lights…

Jesus Loves Me
I think I could end this little blog today with just those three words, Jesus loves me. Ok, see you all tomorrow 🙂 . I joke about that, but really, the message is just that simple. Through all of our trials, challenges, triumphs, and setbacks, He is there, and He loves us just the same.…

Indulgence
Last night, on the way home from dinner, I found myself listening to the Barry Manilow radio station on Pandora. Yes, truth be told, I’m a Fanilow, always have been. I can remember sitting in my bedroom as a kid and playing his albums, yes, the real vinyl albums, for hours on end. When we…

Prayers for Indy
Many years ago, a friend told me about a couple who sang country, Christian, and folk music. Joey and Rory Feek were “up and coming” when I first learned about them. I enjoyed learning about their story, their getting together, the birth of their little girl, Indiana, and then the sadness of Joey’s cancer diagnosis.…

Long Happy Day
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, stepfathers, father figures, and grandfathers out there. I’m thinking about my dad today. I can’t believe he’s been gone for almost 28 years. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him, or have a memory pop into my head. Thank you, Lord, for the gift…

All Will Be Well
Over the past week, I’ve heard this phrase from different people at different times. Last night we had dinner with some dear friends. Schedules have been crazy, and we just haven’t had the time to get together, so it was wonderful to reconnect. We were discussing our church project; they, too, are parishioners. We talked…

Say Nothing
This morning, I was sitting with Father in the quiet. I had my usual petitions, praying for those I love, those who need prayers of healing and strength, and prayers for guidance. Then, I just sat quietly. I relaxed, listened, and said nothing. I just let Him in. I felt peace, I felt calm. It…

God Doesn’t See Walls
A few months ago, in this little blog, I shared that we are in the midst of a big project at church. Well, actually, that is the big project. After extensive research and thoughtful prayer, we made the decision that we must take down the current building and rebuild it at a higher elevation. The…

Back to Simple
Last night we had dinner with a few friends, well, like 70 of ’em. During the summer (the “off-season), here in SW Florida, our church works with local restaurants to host dinners. I’ve mentioned them here before. It’s a great way to support the local businesses, especially during slower times, and our parishioners who live…

I Am Where You Are
You all know that I spend time on my lanai each morning and evening to spend quiet time with Father. The morning is especially nice because it is so quiet. Every day, I ask the Lord to guide my path. I ask Him to show me His plan and to help me carry out that…
