When Ops Mind Meets Emotion
This is the final week in our little church before the construction gets underway. Yesterday, during the service, our clergy referenced several times, “Next Sunday we’ll hold our final services in this building”. I have to admit, hearing those words made it all real. Over the past months, I’ve shared about our project to take…

Ironing With God
This morning I spent some time ironing. Unlike many people, I don’t mind it. It’s actually relaxing to me, and this morning even more so. You see, I was ironing altar linens. One of my very first little blogs was about ironing these linens. You see, there is a method to it. They are folded…

He Could Have
On the way home from dinner last night, my husband and I had an interesting conversation. I have to admit, I’m not quite sure how we got to the subject, but I’m glad we did. I kind of had an epiphany, so to speak. We were discussing the struggles or challenges that people face. I…

Do It Anyway
When our kids were growing up, there were times they’d come home complaining about a teacher or another student. They just didn’t “mesh” with the other person. I remember we’d tell them that there would be many times in life when they would encounter people they didn’t necessarily care for, but they’d have to interact…

What’s Your Perspective
Throughout last week, I found myself at different points in, well, not a good place. My mind was filled with things to do, not just at work but at home. As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m a list maker, and as you can imagine, I have them everywhere. Multiple, actually. By the end of the…

A Port in the Storm
I think I’ve mentioned before that our church sits right in the middle of a neighborhood in what we call “Old Naples”. The church building sits literally on a triangular piece of land with three streets connecting around it. Our parish hall, offices, and Sunday school wing are across the street. Homes surround our campus.…

You’re Not Alone
I’ve gotten into a routine of walking every morning during the week. I’ve shared here before that I’ve settled on a route around the golf club in our community. I’m getting to know the early morning workers, and if I time things right, I can see the sun rise over the course. I love the…

I Am With You Always
We begin a new week, and this morning, as I spent my usual morning time with Father, I asked Him, as I always do, to walk beside me today and this week. I asked for strength and for Him to guide my path so that I can do the work that He wants me to…

Be An Example
Yesterday, on the way to work, I noticed that our local police were out in large numbers. I counted four along my route. They were in all types of vehicles: their standard Explorer, the stealthy Mustang, and the pick-up truck. One had pulled over a driver, I presume for speeding, but I don’t know that…

Home Is Where the Lord Is
We have some neighbors who, about a year ago, moved back up north to be closer to their children. Don and Judy were a wonderful couple and introduced themselves to us within days of moving to our community. We would chat each time we saw each other, getting the latest on Don’s pickleball game, Judy’s…
