To God

I went outside yesterday for lunch. It was nice to take a break and enjoy the sunshine. I’m a little spoiled as sitting outside for lunch for me means sitting on our dock overlooking the water and an occasional boat that may come by. As I ate lunch yesterday I noticed how active the water…

Best Way to Start

Well, friends, last night was a little restless. Actually, it was more than a little restless. It was one of those nights when you shut the light off because you know you have to go to sleep, but your body isn’t really ready for that. I’ve learned that when this happens I should probably just…

Stones, Ya Put Them Down

Last week I made a mistake, I gave some incorrect information to a guest who had come to the church for an event. He was a wonderful gentleman, and we had the best conversation, during which I found out he was 93 years old 🙂 . He had come for a meeting that morning and…

I was talking with a friend the other day, and she was sharing her excitement about the possibility of renting a house. She has been renting a condo for the last few years, and she has really wanted to just get into a house. She said to me, “I need to be able to get…

Guided by Father

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? I’ve said it so many times before in this little blog, I’m blessed to know so many wonderful people in this world, people with hearts the size of Texas 🙂 . Over the past several weeks as we’ve been finalizing our “Art of Giving” event I’ve…

Satan Despises Prayer

I couldn’t help but start this little blog this morning with major thank yous. Yesterday I asked for some simple prayers and my goodness the text messages, social media messages and phone calls from people, well, let’s just say I felt the prayers and the love! Thank you so much for reaching out and for…

You’re Not Weak

It’s a busy week ahead. We have a very large event on Thursday that I’m overseeing. Each year our church gives grants to local charities in our county. This year we’ve approved grants to 16 charities, and the event Thursday wraps up the grant process and secures the final funds needed for these organizations. It’s…
