Reflections on 2024
I guess it’s pretty common to reflect on the year as it comes to a close. Or do we really reflect on what has happened? I think most of the time, we all just look forward to a new year ahead, a new beginning, and a chance for things to be different. Many times we,…

The Recipes & Memories
I’ve gotten into a little routine with our youngest daughter. We text each other pretty regularly around dinner time, sharing what we’re making for dinner. I’ll also ask her opinion on a particular spice she might use or how she would doctor up a certain dish. Last night my husband and I realized we hadn’t…

God Loves You
I guess that just about says it all, doesn’t it? I’m not sure I need to say much more in this little blog today. 🙂 Seriously, though, as I sat on the lanai this morning spending my quiet time with Father, I asked what I could share about Him today. Those three words popped immediately…

Christmas Update-Emily Rea
Many of you have reached out to ask about sweet Emily Rea who I mention almost daily at the end of this little blog. Emily is the niece of a friend of mine and she’s been missing since July 16th when she went paddle boarding at a reservoir in Montana. We haven’t seen an update…

The Transformation
We are fortunate at our church to work with a local florist. He has been with us forever and supplies the flowers for the altar each Sunday.

It was a lovely evening, the food was wonderful and the conversation was lively. We all shared our plans for Christmas and it was fun to hear how everyone would…

Mary’s Song of Praise
A friend of mine sends me a scripture reading and reflection each morning. These last few weeks before Christmas, he has been focusing his reflections on the season of Advent, of course. They have been helping me to take time each morning, slow down just a bit, and truly reflect on the preparation for the…

WNC Winter Wonderland
Over the past weeks since Hurricane Helene made her way through Florida, Georgia, Eastern TN, and Western NC, I’ve been asking regularly for you all to lift these communities in prayer. The damage done by this storm has been historic, like nothing we’ve ever seen. We’ve talked about “100-year storms” such as Hurricane Ian. However, Helene,…

Hit Your Stride
Yesterday was an interesting day of sorts. The restoration of areas of our campus continues following Hurricane Milton, and they’ve moved into repair of our offices. Sooo, things are a little messy. My office for instance has all the furniture moved to the middle so they can replace drywall and such. It’s disruptive but I…

It Can be Mended
A few days ago I shared with you all that I broke a special Christmas ornament. I guess you could call it an heirloom of sorts, which I made as a child. You can read more about that in this little blog. I was not a happy camper on Sunday that is for sure. Well, the…
