Just Begin

I’m guessing we’ve all had times, situations, challenges where we don’t know where to start. You all know that there are days when I sit down here and I haven’t a clue what to share. I sit and think about things; I retrace my days, and I pray and ask for help from Father. Even…

Keep Doing

This morning I changed things up a bit. My usual routine is to spend time with Father on the lanai, having a morning chat, so to speak. Then I make my way to my desk to put some ramblings here in this little space. Then I’ll head out to ride my bike. Well, I had…

What Speaks to You

You all know that at the end of each little blog, I share a scripture verse. Over the past three years that I’ve been writing this little blog, I’ve come across verses that have truly spoken to me. I find myself digging into the chapter of the Bible where the verse is taken from. In…

It Takes Time

One of the things I miss the most about living in a condo is having a large yard with an area for a garden, and lots of flower beds and pots. I used to love the spring and summer months, when I could just dig in the dirt. Now granted, I was never a master…

When Two Become One

I had planned to write a short little blog this morning about our special day. You see, today is our wedding anniversary 🙂 . I’ve known my better half for over 40 years and can’t think of anyone else I would have rather spent those years with. Yes, we’ve had our challenges, all married couples…

Not My Guide

This morning was one of those where, quite honestly, I was ready to hit the button on the alarm and roll back over. Have to admit I’m still feeling the coziness of my pillow calling me. We all have those days, I guess, when we want to just snuggle back down into the comfort of…

Tending the Garden

We have a small area on the west side of our parish hall. It’s located in the children’s wing of our campus, and we call it the Children’s Garden. Within this garden are plants that were purposefully planted there. Plants and trees that have wonderful smells, feel soft to the touch, or, better yet, bear…

Small Labors

One of the very first little blogs I wrote, almost three years ago now, was about taking care of the linens in our church. It’s timely I guess because just this morning I was ironing the linens to take with me to church. It reminded me of that little blog and I thought today might…

How ‘Bout Brunch

Later this morning, we’re going to treat ourselves to brunch with friends we haven’t seen in quite a while. Actually, that’s not entirely true. We see them almost every week. They are neighbors and we’ll chat briefly while their fur baby is walking them in the mornings 🙂 . However, we haven’t been able to…

The Stained Glass

We’ve been working on this little outbuilding next to our church. It’s being transformed into what we are calling the All Souls Chapel. You see, on the East and West sides of our church are sacred churchyards. These are blessed grounds where parishioners have chosen to have their ashes placed upon their death. The churchyards…
