Collections

Many years ago, I don’t even remember what year it started, let’s just say that long ago, while we were Christmas shopping, we saw this cute Santa among the decor displays. My husband commented on how peaceful his eyes were. We bought that Santa those many years ago, little did I know at the time…

The Giving – The Hope

The start of the Holiday week, Thanksgiving is here already. As I sat down to write this little blog this morning I was going through the events of this coming week. Even though we don’t cook for a large group anymore, there is still prep work for what we do now on Thanksgiving. Last year…

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…

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…
