Take The Detour

I’m not a fan of the days getting shorter. The whole drive to work in the dark, drive home in the dark thing, nah, not a fan. However, I have to admit, the sun setting a little earlier allows my husband and me to stop on the way home from work and catch a sunset…

Furfriends Community

We’re moving into fall and here in SW Florida that means the return of many “seasonal residents”. We lament the days when we see the “car trucks” returning. These are the trucks that are transporting the vehicles as their owners fly to their winter residences. The return of the “snowbirds” as we call them, well…

I’m Trying To See

Yesterday was kind of a strange day. A series of unexpected events threw my day off. What was weird, though, is how much I accomplished even with unexpected events that took me away from what I had intended to do. I should clarify as well, that not all of the unexpected things were bad. There…

Your Kit

We have a few special volunteers at our church. Well, all of our volunteers are special, however this group handles a ministry that has a special place in my heart. You see my husband and I participated in it for many, many years back home, and are looking to start back into it. This group…

Simple Thoughts

It’s Saturday, and you all know these are my lazy mornings, if there are such things anymore. Yes, I’m posting this little blog a little later than usual, but that’s okay, I guess. This morning I’ve just been pondering things. I spent time with Father in the quiet of the morning, and just keep thinking…

One of my team members made arrangements for several parishioners, actually, five volunteered to help us with a large mailing we were putting together. Can I just say they were amazing 🙂 .…

Be There

I realized this morning as I logged into my website that I’ve written and shared 725 of these little blogs. It seems like yesterday when I created this one-page website, and pushed out my first post. That was over two years ago now, wow, time really does fly by. I am so blessed by the…

Maybe I’m Old Fashioned

I guess most people who know me well would agree with the title of today’s little blog. I’m a bit old-fashioned I guess. I like simpler times when we weren’t so involved in technology, expensive coffee, and the latest food fads. I think families should be able to sit around the table each night for…

Thursday Thoughts

I think I’ve shared here before that I like to read prayers from various places. Friends have provided me with devotionals over the years and of course I have my prayer book and Bible that I read regularly. Every now and then I’ll come across a prayer that just touches me when I need to…

For The Love Of Music

I’m in a text group with about a dozen friends. We support each other in many ways, lifting prayer when needed, sharing funny stories, giving kudos when our kids do great things, you get the idea. It’s like having your best friends in school, only now we’re all over the country, but yet still connected…
