Mother Mary
After yesterday’s little blog post, I felt the need to share a song of hope. It’s one of my favorite Christmas songs, although I don’t think it should only be heard at this time of the year. This song speaks to Mary directly and asks the simple question, “Mary did you know?”. I can’t help…

There Are No Words
This life is so precious and so short. There are no words to explain the gift of life that is given to us by Father. It’s priceless, the bond between family, and often it is so taken for granted. Yesterday morning I was doing some work before my meetings here in South Carolina. My phone…

No Strangers
Yesterday, I hit the road. Oh, there are a few meanings there 🙂 . I made the drive to Daufuskie Island, SC, to visit Haig Point. It’s a beautiful little community that you can only get to by ferry. Once on the island, you can only move around by foot or by golf cart. To…

Walking in the Past
Last night we went to a small holiday gathering at a friend’s home. Just a few friends enjoying a beverage, nosh, and some Christmas cheer. It was a lovely evening, the food was wonderful and the conversation was lively. We all shared our plans for Christmas and it was fun to hear how everyone would…

The Sounds of a Parade
Last night my husband and I participated in the Christmas parade in our happy place, Marco Island. This is our fourth year helping with the Marco Patriots “floats”. We decorate our disaster recovery vehicles, the rescue boat, airboat, 4-wheeler, and such. We’re all decked out in our red Marco Patriot shirts, and volunteers walk alongside…

Lessons from Painters
I was so excited yesterday. Our office repairs are almost completed following Hurricane Milton’s damage. The painters were in yesterday finishing the last painting, including my office. This is the same small business that painted the church a few weeks ago and I really liked them then. It’s just one man maybe in his late…

Ya, We’re Close Enough
My husband and I were talking at dinner last night, trying to nail down things we needed to get done this weekend. It’s a busy weekend on tap and we’re trying to squeeze in Christmas shopping. You know how it goes, if you’re going to get gifts where they need to be, you gotta get…

From Why to All Will Be Well
We are all faced with challenges at times in our lives. Well, now there is a very “duh” kind of statement, right? Sometimes those challenges come in a slow build-up, sometimes they come totally out of the blue and blindside us. Regardless, they come and many times we are left just asking why. I have…

Share You
So you all know that each morning I have a little pow-wow with Father. I spend the time on my lanai (Florida term for patio), in the quiet to sit and start my day in conversation with Him. It’s my favorite part of the day because it’s still dark, (at least at this time of…

WNC Winter Wonderland
Over the past weeks since Hurricane Helene made her way through Florida, Georgia, Eastern TN, and Western NC, I’ve been asking regularly for you all to lift these communities in prayer. The damage done by this storm has been historic, like nothing we’ve ever seen. We’ve talked about “100-year storms” such as Hurricane Ian. However, Helene,…
