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…

With Your Heart
How often do you find yourself in situations where you have to make a decision but you are just not quite sure what to do? If you’re like me, it happens more than you’d like. It’s an uneasy feeling sometimes, especially if the decisions you are torn between are life-changing. Over the years I’ve had…

The Carol of Our Father
We have an unspoken rule in our house that we don’t listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Now granted, usually first thing the next day I’ve got our favorite carols playing. It’s always enjoyable when that one song comes on and I’m like, “Ah, I love this one!”. Over the past few years, I’ve…

Broken Angel
We spent some time this weekend putting up the Christmas decor. Like many in SW Florida, our decorations are kept in a storage unit as these keepsakes would not do well stored in the summer heat of our garage. Judging by the “traffic” at the unit, we weren’t the only ones decorating this weekend. We all laughed…

A Little Advent
Well, I’m not quite sure where the year has gone, here we are December 1st already. I will say that I welcome this day, for several reasons, first, we’ve officially made it through hurricane season! More importantly though, it’s Advent, the time when we prepare for the birth of the baby Jesus. When our kids…

Go Anyway
Like many people, my husband and I had yesterday off. It was a welcomed day with nothing planned, something pretty rare in our lives 🙂 . We took the opportunity to sleep in a bit, enjoyed some coffee, sat on the lanai, he worked a crossword puzzle, and I caught up on looking through a…

The Thanks of a Lifetime
Thanksgiving Day. I know many of you have probably been up for hours already, prepping the bird, making the special family recipes, and filling the house with incredible smells. Yes, this is very close to being my favorite holiday. As I mentioned a few days ago, I’m giving thanks in this little blog for one…

More Thanks
It’s an exciting week, not only are we celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are celebrating the return to services in our church this weekend. It’s been a busy few months since Hurricane Milton came through and my goodness I’ve learned a ton. I never thought I’d be able to talk about HVAC systems, floor restoration, drywall…
