Simple Love
Part of my role at work is to help new couples with their wedding ceremonies. It’s been fun participating in this as I get to see all the different kinds of weddings. Some are very large, with black tie required, others are very simple, literally just the bride and groom and their parents. Some want…

Keep Asking
A long-time friend is visiting for a few days. He arrived late yesterday afternoon and we spent some time hearing about his drive down. He had stopped in Sarasota at the Ringling Brothers museum, (a place I really need to get to), and it was fascinating hearing about this family. I have memories of attending…

The Real Thing
I’ve never been much of a fan of Halloween, even when I was a kid it wasn’t a favorite. I really began to dislike it when the costumes got to be so gory and creepy, nah it’s not for me. But I think more than the over-the-top scary movie-type costumes, it’s the whole dressing up…

Turnin’ Back Time
If you are like me you think back on times when you probably didn’t make the best decisions in your life. Oh, ya I had some doozies. I found myself this morning wondering how my life might have been if those decisions oh so long ago were different. I reminded myself, we can’t go backward…

Sit and Be
I’m in the middle of a very large project at work. There are a lot of moving parts and some pretty tight deadlines but it’s coming together. Yesterday was a day where I was in full git ‘r done mode. I was moving through this project when a wrench got tossed in. We’ve all been…

Finding, Healing, Praying
A few days ago in this little blog, I shared a story about a local elderly woman with dementia, she had wandered off and gone missing. The community has come together to search for her, and more importantly, has come together to pray and ask Father to guide the search. Well, I’m happy to report…

Not Alone
Sometimes we are put into situations and we’re not sure why. Father brings challenges our way that sometimes seem difficult to overcome. In the midst of those situations we get wrapped up in the self emotion, the distractions of the moment. Before long, we are the center of the pain we feel. Then Father brings…

A Day of Prayer
As everyone knows the news this week has gotten considerably more distressing. The events in the Middle East are escalating and the “chatter” intensifying. There are groups calling for violence today, October 13th, Friday the 13th. I don’t think that is a coincidence, a day that is associated with darkness. Our world is a scary…

Connected – or Not
Yesterday morning a friend, (one of my Marco Patriot Peeps), texted me from up north and asked if I had phone service. I replied that I did. We had been seeing several posts come in for our Marco Patriots FB group, where people were asking about phone service being down. Well, indeed it was true,…

Seasons
Believe it or not, the weather the last few days here in SW Florida has been kind of Fall-like. It was cloudy and gray yesterday and pretty cool, (ok, relatively speaking). The wind was blowing and there actually were some leaves falling on the ground. Ok, I know that is stretching it a bit because…
