Becoming One

Many years ago friends of ours who live across from the beach invited a group of us to watch the sunset. We would all gather, bringing our chairs, a nosh, and a beverage. There were several of those gatherings that became quite large. Our circle of chairs grew and it was nice getting to know…

What Settles Your Soul

We’re in the rainy season here in SW Florida. What does that mean? Well, it means that right around 3:00 p.m. every day, a thunderstorm will roll in, dump a lot of rain, and then about an hour later, the sun will shine again. You used to be able to set your watch by it.…

He Made US

I was having dinner with some folks last night, several were much younger than me, like my youngest daughter’s age. So, yes, young enough to be my children. I was listening to their conversation about technology. They talked about how they don’t use cash, they use Apple Pay for everything, they even use their watch…

Can You Just Guide Me

I think we have all probably been in a place where we feel lost. We’re struggling to make heads or tales of whatever is in our hands. We feel like we are floating on the ocean and there is no lighthouse or beach to guide us. I know I have been there, many times in…

Who Am I

Well, the title of this little blog today is a big question, Who am I? No, I’m not going into a deep philosophical explanation of me, that wouldn’t take too long anyway 🙂 . Actually, I’m just coming to this little blog this morning to share a wonderful tune that touches me and lifts me…
