Hit Your Stride

Yesterday was an interesting day of sorts. The restoration of areas of our campus continues following Hurricane Milton, and they’ve moved into repair of our offices. Sooo, things are a little messy. My office for instance has all the furniture moved to the middle so they can replace drywall and such. It’s disruptive but I…

It Can be Mended

A few days ago I shared with you all that I broke a special Christmas ornament. I guess you could call it an heirloom of sorts, which I made as a child. You can read more about that in this little blog. I was not a happy camper on Sunday that is for sure. Well, the…

With Your Heart

How often do you find yourself in situations where you have to make a decision but you are just not quite sure what to do? If you’re like me, it happens more than you’d like. It’s an uneasy feeling sometimes, especially if the decisions you are torn between are life-changing. Over the years I’ve had…

The Carol of Our Father

We have an unspoken rule in our house that we don’t listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Now granted, usually first thing the next day I’ve got our favorite carols playing. It’s always enjoyable when that one song comes on and I’m like, “Ah, I love this one!”. Over the past few years, I’ve…

Broken Angel

We spent some time this weekend putting up the Christmas decor. Like many in SW Florida, our decorations are kept in a storage unit as these keepsakes would not do well stored in the summer heat of our garage. Judging by the “traffic” at the unit, we weren’t the only ones decorating this weekend. We all laughed…

Go Anyway

Like many people, my husband and I had yesterday off. It was a welcomed day with nothing planned, something pretty rare in our lives 🙂 . We took the opportunity to sleep in a bit, enjoyed some coffee, sat on the lanai, he worked a crossword puzzle, and I caught up on looking through a…

The Thanks of a Lifetime

Thanksgiving Day. I know many of you have probably been up for hours already, prepping the bird, making the special family recipes, and filling the house with incredible smells. Yes, this is very close to being my favorite holiday. As I mentioned a few days ago, I’m giving thanks in this little blog for one…

More Thanks

It’s an exciting week, not only are we celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are celebrating the return to services in our church this weekend. It’s been a busy few months since Hurricane Milton came through and my goodness I’ve learned a ton. I never thought I’d be able to talk about HVAC systems, floor restoration, drywall…

A Week of Thanks

I’ve shared here before that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. There is just something about the coming together of family and friends to give thanks for the gifts we have in our lives. Of course, the delightful smells and tastes of Thanksgiving don’t hurt either 🙂 . This weekend I saw wonderful pictures…

Being Quiet Is the Hardest

I wonder how many of you are like me. Well that question could go in a couple of different directions couldn’t it? What I mean is, how many of you have a hard time just listening for the answer to prayers? Sometimes I feel like I’m trying too hard to hear what Father may be…
