The Cookie Bakers
Our team has a meeting every Tuesday morning. This past Tuesday we were all pretty whooped from Holy Week and Easter as you can probably imagine. The meeting had a different feel to it, we weren’t focused on the week ahead, checking things off our to-do lists, making sure we had this ready or that…

Gone to the Dogs
Yesterday we had our final women’s luncheon of the season. It was special and my goodness the participation 🙂 . You see we had “Max” and “Tessa” visit. They are members of the Naples Police Department K-9 unit. Max is a 2-year-old golden retriever and Tessa is a 3-year-old black Labrador, and I can tell…

The Personal Touch
Yesterday our youngest had to have some minor surgery. Out of respect for her, I won’t go into all the details, just a weird thing that happened with her elbow. We’re still not quite sure what caused it, but we are thankful that the doctors acted quickly and she’s on the mend. It’s always scary…

He Is Risen
Alleluia He Is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed, Alleluia! Well, I’m not sure there is much else I can say to top that in today’s little blog! I simply wish you a Happy Easter! May it be filled with the love that only Christ brings. May it also be filled with time with family…

The Despair

Father Forgive Them
Today is the second day of the Triduum, Good Friday. The day that Jesus fulfilled the scripture, having completed all that he was asked to do. Last year in this little blog I shared my thoughts about Good Friday, this most solemn day. I reshare that blog here as I truly don’t believe there is…

The Walk Continues
Wednesday of Holy Week. This was the day that Mary anointed Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume. It was also the day that Judas made the decision that he would betray Jesus. In this little blog, I simply share a prayer in preparation for the next days ahead, as we remember the final walk He made…

Short Little Life Unites a World
Yesterday, a friend shared with me a story about a young family she knows. I’m going to try to share this story being respectful of this young family and yet sharing the incredible love of Christ that worked through the middle of it all. As I listened to the story of this family’s little girl,…

Holy Week
Yesterday we began Holy Week with Palm Sunday. I’m focusing this year on trying to be more present during this week to remember our Lord’s Passion and Death. Jesus gave everything for me, for us, and I’m going to do my best to remember the days leading up to and through it. I simply share…

Spread the Good
It’s our tagline for the Marco Patriots, #spreadthegood. When you are helping with disaster recovery, it’s a key part of the mission, spreading as much good as possible. Some people are at the lowest points of their lives, homes gone, loved ones missing or killed, memories swept away. Sometimes a hot meal and a clean…
