A Day in the Glades

My husband and I have been trying to spend a little more time discovering the scenic spots around us. Yesterday we took a road trip to the Everglades. Just a little over an hour away is a bounty of beauty found in several Florida National Parks. We took the 27-mile ride on Loop Road in…

Mom

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there! There is a song by Jim Brickman that pretty much says it all when it comes to being a mom. As mothers, I think we want to know that our children are safe and loved and that they grow up being the best they can…

The Lights

Last night, or should I say early this morning much of our country saw what was perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime sight, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. Even way down here in SW Florida, there are pictures of the most dazzling pink and purple sky at midnight. In other pictures I’ve seen from…

See with Your Heart

There are times in our lives when things happen and leaning on faith is truly what will get you through. Maybe that was kind of like a “duh” statement. I pretty much share that message every day here in this little blog. When I think about the time when Jesus was alive, the people who…

They Are the Future

I think for as long as we can probably all remember, at one time or another we’ve looked at our youth and said, “They are our future”. Admittedly that comment is not always said positively.

The History

We’re working on a project at the office, well I should say there are several parishioners who are working on the project, I’m just making sure they have what they need. In the summer months, things are quieter in SW Florida, (insert sigh of relief here), so it’s a great time to work on projects…

Derby Day

Sit with Me

Each day I make time when I wake up and right before I go to bed to have a chat with Father. I thank him for the gifts of the day, ask him for guidance as I begin the day, and lift some prayers for others who are in need. It really is a regrounding…

Stop and Be a Photographer

I continue to be blessed with messages or comments from friends about this little blog. People look forward to reading it each morning, and many have commented on what an inspiration it is. Well, we can all thank Father for that as He helps the words flow into this little space each day. I like…

Begin with Him

Ahh, Monday again. Does anyone else think that time on the weekends goes by ten times faster than it does during the week? It’s ok, yes, it’s Monday but hey, we got this. I was reading some uplifting prayers for Monday this morning. I came across one that spoke to me, and thought I’d share…
