The Stained Glass
We’ve been working on this little outbuilding next to our church. It’s being transformed into what we are calling the All Souls Chapel. You see, on the East and West sides of our church are sacred churchyards. These are blessed grounds where parishioners have chosen to have their ashes placed upon their death. The churchyards…

Updates
Oh yes, the dreaded computer updates. I fell victim to them this morning. It has thrown off my whole schedule today. Sooo…this little blog might be even littler this morning 🙂 . As my computer popped up with the message today, “Your device will restart in 5 minutes”, I thought, “Seriously?”. Why are you telling…

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…

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…

The Simpleness
Last night my husband and I stopped at a local Italian restaurant on the way home from work. It’s great to be able to dine at some restaurants during the off-season without having to make a reservation weeks in advance 🙂 . As we were leaving I noticed the gray clouds. Yep, it’s summer in…

Helping the Little Ones
For the last several years our church has helped one of our local organizations supply fully stocked backpacks to children in need. It’s a wonderful program that provides children with new backpacks and supplies to start the school year. Usually, we provide a list of supplies by grade level and our parishioners shop on their…

A Birthday Connection
Ahh, the start of a long holiday weekend. I must admit that this is one of my favorite holidays. Those of you who are new to this little blog may not know that I share a birthday with this nation. Yes, being born on the 4th of July has its perks, you know fireworks, parades,…

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…
