Scars in Heaven

I’m headed out for the week, spending time with the senior golf group I plan events for. We’re headed to Daufuskie Island, SC, for their Spring meeting. Daufuskie is a wonderful island off Hilton Head. It’s quiet and laid back, and the simple beauty of the low country can’t be matched. Oh, and did I…

The Cookie Bakers

Our team has a meeting every Tuesday morning. This past Tuesday we were all pretty whooped from Holy Week and Easter as you can probably imagine. The meeting had a different feel to it, we weren’t focused on the week ahead, checking things off our to-do lists, making sure we had this ready or that…

Gone to the Dogs

Yesterday we had our final women’s luncheon of the season. It was special and my goodness the participation 🙂 . You see we had “Max” and “Tessa” visit. They are members of the Naples Police Department K-9 unit. Max is a 2-year-old golden retriever and Tessa is a 3-year-old black Labrador, and I can tell…

The Personal Touch

Yesterday our youngest had to have some minor surgery. Out of respect for her, I won’t go into all the details, just a weird thing that happened with her elbow. We’re still not quite sure what caused it, but we are thankful that the doctors acted quickly and she’s on the mend. It’s always scary…

The 50 Days

I took a break from this little blog yesterday to enjoy a day off. Holy week was a very busy one, culminating in a glorious Easter. We were all clean tuckered out you might say. I spent yesterday with some sun and salt water therapy, trust me I highly recommend it. We’ve moved into the…

Father Forgive Them

Today is the second day of the Triduum, Good Friday. The day that Jesus fulfilled the scripture, having completed all that he was asked to do. Last year in this little blog I shared my thoughts about Good Friday, this most solemn day. I reshare that blog here as I truly don’t believe there is…

The Triduum

The final days of Jesus’ life, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, the most solemn days of our Christian life. Today, we begin that final walk, the journey to the Cross—the Triduum, the three final days of Jesus’ life. The Maundy Thursday service has always been meaningful to me. During this service, we will…

Short Little Life Unites a World

Yesterday, a friend shared with me a story about a young family she knows. I’m going to try to share this story being respectful of this young family and yet sharing the incredible love of Christ that worked through the middle of it all. As I listened to the story of this family’s little girl,…

Holy Week

Yesterday we began Holy Week with Palm Sunday. I’m focusing this year on trying to be more present during this week to remember our Lord’s Passion and Death. Jesus gave everything for me, for us, and I’m going to do my best to remember the days leading up to and through it. I simply share…
