But I Wanted

Recently I’ve been having conversations with friends about various events in their lives. One was in the middle of a deal to open her own business. Another was planning a lengthy trip. In each case, my friends had plans and hopes around what they were working on. One to work for herself in an industry…

Just Get Me Through

A friend and I were talking via text yesterday afternoon about the crazy schedules in our lives right now. It seems like we have just gotten up and before we know it the sun is setting, and the day has flown by. We’re juggling work, and home life, weekdays and weekends are filled, and the…

Little Red Book

A few weeks ago, my husband gave me a gift—an early birthday gift, I think. He gave me two books. One was a copy of our 1928 prayer book, and the other was a little red book. It’s called The Practice of Religion, and this particular edition was printed in 1950. His mother had a…

Weekend of Thanks

This Memorial Day weekend is about remembering. It’s about honoring. It’s about saying thanks to those who gave everything for total strangers. Men and women gave their lives to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. This morning I was reading in our Book of Common Prayer and was drawn to this prayer of thanksgiving. Though…

A Psalm for Mom

A friend of mine is in need of prayer. She is in the process of helping her sweet mom make her way home with Jesus. No matter how old we are, we are never ready to lose our mothers. Even though it is not goodbye forever, it is still so painful and there is a…

If You Choose

I’ve been spending time with friends over the past few days. Last night, we wrapped up our time together with dinner and a sunset cruise. Our time together has been priceless, with memories shared and memories made. After dinner, we boarded the boat for the cruise and headed to the top deck. As we left…

Father in the Pool

Yesterday in this little blog I shared that a group of friends had put together a surprise for a mutual friend/mentor of ours. We all have gathered here in SW Florida, some coming from as far away as California to spend time with a wonderful woman who has touched our lives. I think it’s safe…

Spring Storms

I had friends traveling all over yesterday. They were in Connecticut, South Carolina, Ohio, and everywhere in between. During our text conversation last night, they were all trying to make it home. The storms in the Midwest and Ohio Valley were awful. Flights were delayed at every turn. It was well after midnight before everyone…

In My Heart

It’s been a busy week at work, so much so that I am trying to figure out where the week went. When you combine that with settling back in at home, I guess you could say I’ve been a little out of sorts. This morning as I sat and spent time with Father I’m embarrassed…
