For the Lord to Come
During Advent and Lent I change my routine a little. I tend to look for prayers that are specific to these seasons. I like reading a variety of prayers that help me reflect on the season at hand. They help me slow down and remember why we recognize and celebrate these special times. Life gets…

Share You
So you all know that each morning I have a little pow-wow with Father. I spend the time on my lanai (Florida term for patio), in the quiet to sit and start my day in conversation with Him. It’s my favorite part of the day because it’s still dark, (at least at this time of…

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

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…
