A Simple Soul
Like the rest of the world, yesterday afternoon I heard the news that Dolly Parton had passed away. I was sad because I knew she had been struggling with health issues for a while. One of my friends said, “She hasn’t been well since her husband passed away”. She was a lovely woman. My goodness,…

His Prayer
If you’ve been reading this little blog for very long, you know that I’ve come here at times sharing how I don’t have a clue what to write some days. I try to jot down notes when something comes to mind during the day, or when a situation occurs that is clearly God at work.…

It’s Your Right
If you’re like me, you’ve had your fill of election primary season texts, robo calls, postcards, and commercials. It’s stunning to me that the amount of money is being spent not to talk about the issues, but rather to simply trash whatever opponent(s) you have. There are so many accusations flying around; you simply don’t…

Talents
Our choir has been in England for the last ten days or so. They are there on a choral residency. Meaning they are singing in several cathedrals there while their choirs take summer breaks. Friday and this morning, we were able to watch them via the cathedral live stream services. Watching this wonderful group of…

The Family Within
This morning, I find myself sitting here at this little blog, just giving thanks. Well, that’s a pretty wide-open statement, isn’t it? There are many, many things in this world to give thanks for, I know. What’s so different about this today? Last night we had our final Summer Soiree. I’ve mentioned them before. During…

In The Rain
We’ve finally gotten into a “traditional” Florida rain pattern. When I was younger, I would visit my dad here, and you could set your watch by the summer rains in the afternoon. They would roll in around 3:00 p.m., stick around for about an hour, and be done. It was pretty much an everyday occurrence.…

Ace
I’ve been following a story from Polk County, FL over the past few days. It’s a sad story, but one that also shows the heart of God’s children and how they come together in difficult times. The story is about one of the county’s K-9 officers named Ace. Ace was shot by a wanted suspect…

Sharing A Prayer
Can I just say that this has been an odd week? And…it’s only Wednesday. Just odd little things happening, you know, the type of things that make you scratch your head and think, really? As I sat this morning and talked with Father about the weirdness, asking Him for guidance, I heard “share a prayer”.…

Through the Clouds
My husband and I spent a few days in the Upper Keys to celebrate our anniversary. It was a nice time away, and the life there is a tad more laid-back than here. Everywhere you look, people are in shorts, sandals, and usually a T-shirt referencing some local hangout, or something to do with fishing.…

Knowing What We Need
Wow, I slept in a little later than usual this morning; I mean, even for a Saturday. I guess sometimes your body knows what you need, and you just have to listen. As I thought about that this morning, something else came to mind. I’m guessing you know what I’m going to say. Sometimes Father…
