Bury it in the Sand

Yesterday we had plans to take our visiting family to the beach for the day. When we got up, enjoyed some coffee and looked out to catch a beautiful sunrise, everyone was ready for a day of sun! I made the mistake of sitting down at my laptop, just to catch up on some email,…

The Beauty of the Rain

We joke here in SW Florida, in the summertime you can always tell the time of day by when the rain comes through. Yep, it’s a daily occurrence during the summertime, usually about 2 o’clock the skies turn gray, and boom they open up with the rain. These past few weeks though, the daily shows…

A Dog’s Life

Dogs, they are some of the most amazing creatures. Big or small, loud or quiet, you name it, they are such loving animals. We adopt a dog as a pet and before we know it they are family. They understand our feelings, they provide entertainment, they rely on us, and most importantly they have unconditional…

Phone a Friend

There are times in our lives when, let’s face it, mentally, we’ve simply had enough. Your brain can’t process any more “stuff” coming into it.

A Special Place

I find myself, now more than ever, talking with Father. My conversations and prayers are very different than before. My relationship has changed, it’s more meaningful, to me at least, not sure about him, but I like to think it’s more meaningful for him too 🙂 I talk with Father throughout the day, probably like…

Throughout the day and evening, we played remember when. Then, we enjoyed time just taking in our surroundings. God has blessed…

Did You Have a Monday?

Here we are Tuesday morning and I have a question… Was yesterday one of “those Mondays”? Yes, you say. Well, it’s good to know we are all in it together 🙂 Sometimes amid the chaos, we just need to remember what Father tells us. And…we need to remember to stop in the midst of the…

A Day of Rest

I remember when I was a kid, many of the stores in town were closed on Sundays. Sunday was a day when families went to church, and would gather for dinner with the grandparents. Sundays were slower, they had a different feel to them. Things have changed along the way. You can buy liquor now…

Remember and Give Thanks

Today is an anniversary. My dad passed away 24 years ago this morning. Actually, he passed away just down the street from where I reside now in SW Florida. I was fortunate to be holding my dad’s hand when he left this earth, and God blessed me that morning, knowing that Jesus accompanied him home.…
