It’s On Me

Yesterday morning, I went to work early. I have a large project I’m working on, and I can accomplish a great deal before the office fills with the rest of the team and the day-to-day activities. I stopped by the local bagel shop on my way, and they had literally just opened, well, that’s what…

Prepared

Yesterday afternoon, I did the usual grocery store run. When I got home, I did something I haven’t in a while. I took the time to prep for the week. Made up a batch of the family salad dressing, restocked our homemade pickled jalapenos, and prepped for dinner all in one fell swoop. Following dinner,…

Prayers for Paradise

Living here in SW Florida, we’ve had our share of hurricanes over the past few years. So far it appears we will get through this season without a major event here in our little paradise. Unfortunately, it looks like another paradise island, Jamaica is going to get the brunt of Hurricane Melissa. This storm is…

Not Mine

I had an interesting slip of words this morning. Well, I don’t know whether it was a slip of words or if it was a correction. Let me explain. You have all heard me refer to this little blog, or the little blog. I really haven’t used the phrase my little blog. It’s funny because…

Prayer, Hope, Faith

Prayer can be a difficult thing sometimes. Wow, that’s a great way to start this little blog for the week ahead. Well, you all know me, I sometimes just blurt out what I’m thinking here. As I was talking with Father this morning, I added one of my usual petitions to my morning prayers (it’s…

The Things That Come Between

Have you noticed how easy it is to let “the things” come between you and Father? What do I mean by “the things”? Well, anything, all of it. The busy schedule, the work to-dos, the home life to-dos, this appointment, that ballgame, this meeting, you get the idea. Our everyday life presents “things” that get…

Today Is A Gift

Yes, yes it is. Of course, every day is a gift; we all know that. You all know that I love Saturday. It’s the one morning in the week when I catch a little more z’s and don’t have to rush out the door to work. We have a few things on our to-do list…
