Hey Jesus

This morning I was reading a few different prayers written by others. This week we are starting to remove items from the church. It’s daunting in many ways as we work through what to store, what to keep and where, what we no longer need, etc. Yesterday, I found myself just saying, “I have to…

Unanswered Prayers

Last night, as I sat with Father before bed, I said, as I do every morning and evening, a prayer to bring sweet Emily Rea home to her family. Last night, though, it was with a little more earnestness. We’re coming up this week on the anniversary of her disappearance; maybe that is why I’ve…

Just What We Need

Last night I sent a text to my older brothers. I found a meme on social media that just simply hit home. Actually, it was a picture of a T-shirt offered by a company called wooftees.com. The shirt has a cartoon picture of what appears to be a husky holding a cup of coffee and…

Six Days

I took some time off this past week. It was nice. I celebrated my birthday with good friends, sitting by the water, fishing pole in hand for most of the day, and relaxing. The balance of the six days, well, I did much of the same. I can spend hours just sitting on a dock…

250

Yes, we have a pretty major event happening tomorrow, July 4th. I remember our country’s 200th birthday back in 1976. I was actually in Germany; my dad was stationed there. The base did an amazing job making sure that the service members and their families had a celebration. I can’t believe that was 50 years…

The History

One of my team members has been working on a project for us. As we are getting ready to take down and rebuild our church, we have been sharing much of the history of our little church on social media. It’s been interesting to learn all about how it began. The first service was actually…

Walk with an Open Heart

This morning, as I often do, I asked Father what message I could share today. “Open your heart” is what I heard as I sat and prayed. Listening to our Lord is more about listening with your heart than your ears. How many times have you given the advice to someone who is trying to…

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…

The Great Physician

Over the last few days, I’ve shared updates about young Indiana Feek, the daughter of Rory Feek. Yesterday, she underwent open heart surgery to repair a small hole in her heart that she has had since birth. The surgery was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but an emergency took the surgeon to another case, so Indy’s…

A Better Place

Yesterday, a group of parishioners gathered in our parish hall to set up for an event we’ve held for the past three years. It’s the annual backpack drive. You see, there is a wonderful organization here that collects pre-filled backpacks with school supplies for underserved children. There is an option to provide backpacks for any…
