No Plan
Those of you who know me personally know that I’m a planner. I’m a list maker, and I like it when things are in order 🙂 . I guess it’s my ops brain. Yesterday, I took the day off because it was supposed to be one of only two days in like the last three…

The Brighter Path
Lately we’ve had some pretty amazing sunrises and sunsets here in SW Florida. The cloud shapes and colors have filled the skies with pinks and golds; it really has been amazing. Yesterday morning, as I pulled out of the driveway, I could see the sky was again painted with pink. I turned onto the main…

Pastimes
Back in the day, I loved to sew. I made my kids’ dresses when they were little. Their Christening gowns, Christmas and Easter dresses, even the wedding dress for our oldest. I made various items for our home: curtains and table runners, pillows, and yes, the dog bed for our granddog. I can’t remember the…

Talents for Good
We’re all good at something. I have to admit I’ve never understood the term “hidden talent”. We either have talents or not; I don’t know how they can be hidden. Ok that was a lot of garbly gook in those sentences, wasn’t it? I do think it’s interesting how people have talents. Take my husband,…

Through the Rubble
Last week, I mentioned in this little blog that I wouldn’t spend too much time giving you all the play-by-play on reconstructing our little church. However, I’m sure I’ll find a message at times for this little blog during the process. I also know that when I need support and/or prayer, this is the best…

Saturday Blessings
I’m headed out early this morning to help with the funeral of a sweet man. I mentioned him in this little blog several weeks ago. Because of that, I was going to simply share a prayer for everyone as you begin this Saturday. As I was reading through some prayers, I found this list of…

Give Yourself Grace
This morning, as I thought about this week coming to a close, ya, I can’t believe it’s Friday already, I thought about conversations I’ve had with friends. I’ve had some text and verbal conversations with friends over the past few days, and we’re all feeling a need for rest, both physically and mentally. This weekend…

Waterlogged Blessings
Yesterday was Rally Day at church. I’ve mentioned it before. Think of it as a church picnic, complete with BBQ lunch (by one of the best BBQ guys in SW Florida), a water slide, games for the youth, fishing from the dock, oh, and the Kona Ice truck 🙂 . It’s a fun day for…

Rise Again
Yesterday afternoon, my husband and I went to set up the altar for church this morning. Since we’ve been out of town all week, this was the first time we’ve seen the building with the construction fence up. The protective scaffolding was up to make sure the churchyards (burial grounds), on each side of the…

Sunrises, Sunsets and the In Between
This morning is one of those mornings when the little blog isn’t quite coming together as I’d hoped. I have written and rewritten it several times. I guess I have too much going through my head right now. I wanted to be with my team at home yesterday as they took the final items from…
