Her Presence
This day rolls around each year. That’s sort of funny to say, isn’t it? You could say that about every day of the year. The calendar has a way of repeating itself each year. Well, for the past 29 years, I’ve looked at March 10th through a different lens. You see, my mom went to…

Hard to Describe
My husband and I left work intentionally at an earlier time than usual. Notice I didn’t say we left early, 🙂 . We left with a purpose, to enjoy happy hour at one of our local establishments. When we arrived, there were two seats in a great spot, lively conversation with other couples, wonderful nosh,…

The Gift of a Brother
Today is a day to celebrate. Well, every day is a day to celebrate in my opinion 🙂 . Today, though, we celebrate my brother’s birthday. I am the baby of the family and have two older brothers. So, as you can probably guess, growing up, I was what we used to refer to as…

What We Make It
Yesterday we marked the start of Lent, the time leading up to the crucifixion, and more importantly, the resurrection of Jesus. This time is what me make it. Well, that’s kind of flip, some might think. Actually, though, it truly is what we make it. We can choose to treat this time like every other…

Not a Part-Time Job
I guess when you read the title of today’s little blog, you might be thinking I’m coming here to talk about work. Well, I am, sort of. I heard something this morning on my walk, while listening to a podcast, and boy, it struck me. The host said, “Jesus did not offer us a part-time…

Simple Gifts
This morning, I find myself thinking about yesterday and just feeling grateful. It was Valentine’s Day, and of course, I’m so grateful for the love of my life, my husband. We exchanged cards as we always do; we’re past the point of needing to get physical gifts. We have what we need in each other…

Just Another Day
I just realized that today is Friday the 13th. Ya, I used to wonder about all those superstitions. As my relationship with Christ has grown, all those have fallen away. Isn’t it amazing what we, God’s children, manage to concoct to push us further away from Him and His love? Let’s just look at today…

Laugh at Yourself
I believe Father gave us the gift of laughter for many reasons. You’ve probably heard that it takes fewer facial muscles to laugh than to frown. Well, that alone should tell us we should be laughing more. I got home a little later than usual last night, to say it was a strange day, well,…

His Creatures
Yesterday, I spent the day on the water. I know, I know, many of you reading this were/are hunkered down through a major winter storm. Continued prayers for all of you in the frozen tundra! It was a beautiful day, and almost perfect for being on the water. I have found recently that I just…

Orderly
There is something to be said for having things neat and orderly in our lives. I guess the new year brings the opportunity to do things a little differently. This morning, as I’m getting ready to head out for some errands, I took a moment to tidy up my desk. I put away things that…
