Words Affect

These last few days have been kind of a whirlwind. They have flown by, and as I write this little blog this morning, I think about all the people I’ve seen, met, and hugged. I’ve had amazing conversations, and I’ve overheard many others. What I realize this morning is how much words can affect our…

What We Need

Sometimes we pray and pray and pray, and it seems like Father isn’t hearing us. Sometimes we think that He’s not answering our prayers. Sometimes we lose hope. What I’ve been learning more and more since my relationship with our Lord has strengthened is that He gives us what we need, which many times is…

Tiny Jesus

Last night, a friend of mine gave me a little figurine of Jesus. Even in His little stature, I could feel the comfort of Him being in my hand. I guess it sounds a little weird, but I truly mean it. When you look at his little face and into His eyes, you can feel…

Father and Friendships

I’m spending this week with some old friends. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the association I was a part of in many ways for more than 15 years. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends, hugging many necks, and celebrating a community that has grown so much over the years. As I look at…

For the Doers

Today is Labor Day. I don’t want to take up this little blog with the full history of Labor Day, but I did want to share this interesting summation of this last holiday of the summer, that I came across from Country Living magazine. “Simply put, Labor Day celebrates Americans who labor. It is a…

A Simple Sunday Prayer

He Gives

I was reading a post from a friend on social media yesterday. She’s been through a difficult few months, yet through it all, her faith has kept her strong. I talked to her a few weeks ago, and she mentioned that she wasn’t sure why the Lord felt she was so strong, but she was…

Don’t Underestimate

I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday. We were discussing our busy schedules, juggling the various things in our day. We were discussing the general craziness out there these days, I swear there is a full moon like 6 out of the 7 days a week 🙂 . What was interesting was we…

My Heart, Your Heart

A few mornings ago, I was sitting on the lanai having my regular a.m. check-in with Father. I was asking for prayers for my “regulars,” I call them. Of course, family and friends, but also those who have specific needs, such as the return of sweet Emily Rea. As I talked with Him and prayed,…

The Water & The Kids

Tomorrow is our annual church fishing tournament. Well, actually, we call it our annual “day on the water”. For those who don’t like to fish, there is a boat that takes folks out to an island to shell and sun. It really is a wonderful day for kids of all ages. I enjoy this event…
