Sometimes a Picture is All You Need

I’ve had the same picture on my computer and laptop for as long as I can remember. It’s a picture of a dock that looks over the gulf at the beautiful 10,000 islands near Marco. It’s one of my favorite places on earth. It’s my happy place. I’ve stood on that dock for literally hours…

For Those Who Need It

Over the past few weeks, there have been many friends who have needed prayers. A health issue, a loved one in the hospital, a new job, a death in the family, a diagnosis of a disease, are just some of the trials these friends are going through. Each morning and evening, these names fill my…

Better Days

I’ve seen several videos, that have just been taken over the past week or so, of areas affected by Ian. They show the coastline with houses in rubble, overhead shots showing the familiar “blue tarps” covering roofs and entire sections of a town that is simply gone. We continue to see piles and piles of…

Tommy

Today’s little blog is dedicated to a very special person. Sgt Thomas Gilbert was only 24 years old when he was killed in action in Iraq in 2006. Don’t let the age fool you, Tommy may have only been 24, but he was an “old soul”. He loved his family and he loved his country.…

Football

Yesterday was a day filled with continued clean-up efforts. I met some new friends and realized how easy it is to get to know people 🙂 . Yesterday was of course also college football game day! A quick scroll through FB provided pictures of friends back home at the pregame tailgate. Other posts showed support…

Cleaning Up

Yes, the clean-up has begun after Ian. Yesterday as we began reinstalling the gate arms to our community, we simply could not believe how beautiful the morning was. What a difference a day makes right?! The sky was an amazing blue, the temperature was about 71 degrees and the air was “clean” if you know…

In This Together

Well, here we are, in the midst of the big bad boy Ian. It’s been a long night of waiting, listening, and peeking out windows, (not sure why, LOL you can’t see anything). But, over the past 12 hours, I’ve seen God at work. His children helping each other, working on generators, putting up storm…

Father Hear Our Prayer

Just some simple prayers for this morning’s little blog. We’ve all prepped, we’re keeping informed, and we are keeping in touch with family and our local neighbors too. Here comes mother nature, and I also say, here comes Father. As we all know, we can’t control the weather, but what we can control is our…

A Simple Psalm

Happy Monday everyone. Today’s little blog is short and sweet. It’s going to be a busy week around here, Ian is still not sure where he wants to go and is shifting some as of 11pm last night. As I read this Psalm this morning I thought it quite appropriate for the week ahead. As…

Never Forget

As I board a plane to head home today I’m somber. Twenty-one years ago today, thousands of Americans just like me did the same thing. They boarded a plane on business, headed home from a trip, or were excited to be heading on vacation with family. They were just like you and me that fateful…
