Twenty Seven Later

Yesterday I was meeting with a group of people. We have a new group that is being made available at our church, and a few of us are beta testing it. It allows the facilitators to go through the curriculum and make sure the process flows the way they would like. I volunteered to participate,…

Face It Head On

About a year ago, I set out to learn the process of making sourdough bread. Now you probably think that isn’t a big deal. Well, you don’t know my history of dealing with anything involving yeast or “rising”. It hasn’t been pretty. Well, it’s been pretty, like pretty awful. Over the years, I’ve wanted to…

Goodness of God

Happy Saturday, everyone. You know me, a little later start, a little longer morning chat with Father, a little less routine to enjoy this beautiful morning. This morning, I did just a few little things around the house. Tended to some plants outside, listened to the birds as they went about their morning search for…

Chicken Lessons

I shared a few months ago in this little blog about the Florida chicken we have in our little community. It’s not really a chicken but it sure acts like one. It’s a cute little black bird with a red beak, and when it walks, it does so with a chicken-like gait. Anyway, yesterday morning…

Simple Message

I continue to be blessed by comments from so many of you. Your words of encouragement are so appreciated. Many of you say that you enjoy reading my ramblings each morning (or whenever you get to them) and that somehow my words are “just what I needed to hear today”. Well friends, I can assure…

A Day…Off

Yesterday after church, I tackled the remainder of a project that my husband and I started on Saturday. I had purchased a stand to hold my computer monitors, making more room on my desk at home. Did I mention that I’m not a fan of technology, including all its physical hardware? However, I was pretty…

Today’s little blog is pretty short and sweet friends. I’m headed out to help with an event at church this morning so I’m just going to pass along Saturday wishes. I found this sweet prayer this morning and thought it perfect for today. May your day be filled with laughter, sunshine, time with family and…
