The Light of Life

I’m dragging a bit today. I woke up around 2:00 a.m. to a beeping from my phone. I honestly thought my alarm was going off and it was time to get up. When I rolled over to shut it off, I couldn’t see anything. Not only was the alarm clock face totally black, but I…

Home Is Where the Lord Is

We have some neighbors who, about a year ago, moved back up north to be closer to their children. Don and Judy were a wonderful couple and introduced themselves to us within days of moving to our community. We would chat each time we saw each other, getting the latest on Don’s pickleball game, Judy’s…

Rainy Days and Sundays

Didn’t the chorus of that popular Carpenters song just run through your head when you read the title of today’s little blog? You can thank me later for planting that tune in your head for the balance of the day 🙂 . Yesterday was Sunday, and it was indeed a rainy one here in SW…

In a Pickle

Ever have one of those days when you’re just in a bad mood? You wake up, and things are out of sorts. Maybe you didn’t sleep well, maybe the weather is crummy, maybe it’s a Monday, and you’re just dreading the day. Or maybe there really isn’t a reason, and you are just in a…

Just Do Your Best

I guess you could say I’m a little Type A personality, especially when it comes to some things. I’ve mentioned here before that I have an ops brain, meaning I can look at a situation and quickly see solutions. I particularly like to plan events, as most of you know. There are a lot of…

Hey Jesus

This morning I was reading a few different prayers written by others. This week we are starting to remove items from the church. It’s daunting in many ways as we work through what to store, what to keep and where, what we no longer need, etc. Yesterday, I found myself just saying, “I have to…

Unanswered Prayers

Last night, as I sat with Father before bed, I said, as I do every morning and evening, a prayer to bring sweet Emily Rea home to her family. Last night, though, it was with a little more earnestness. We’re coming up this week on the anniversary of her disappearance; maybe that is why I’ve…

Just What We Need

Last night I sent a text to my older brothers. I found a meme on social media that just simply hit home. Actually, it was a picture of a T-shirt offered by a company called wooftees.com. The shirt has a cartoon picture of what appears to be a husky holding a cup of coffee and…

Six Days

I took some time off this past week. It was nice. I celebrated my birthday with good friends, sitting by the water, fishing pole in hand for most of the day, and relaxing. The balance of the six days, well, I did much of the same. I can spend hours just sitting on a dock…

250

Yes, we have a pretty major event happening tomorrow, July 4th. I remember our country’s 200th birthday back in 1976. I was actually in Germany; my dad was stationed there. The base did an amazing job making sure that the service members and their families had a celebration. I can’t believe that was 50 years…
