Back to Simple

Last night we had dinner with a few friends, well, like 70 of ’em. During the summer (the “off-season), here in SW Florida, our church works with local restaurants to host dinners. I’ve mentioned them here before. It’s a great way to support the local businesses, especially during slower times, and our parishioners who live…

I Am Where You Are

You all know that I spend time on my lanai each morning and evening to spend quiet time with Father. The morning is especially nice because it is so quiet. Every day, I ask the Lord to guide my path. I ask Him to show me His plan and to help me carry out that…

They Want What You Got

I’ve mentioned here in this little blog many times before that you just never know how your small interaction with someone can change their life. You never know when just your behavior, showing Jesus within you, will bring someone closer to Him. Yesterday I attended the funeral of a long-time parishioner. He was 92 years…

A Reminder to Myself

I have a pretty full day ahead of me, but I’m going to make a point of carving out time for a walk on the beach. Headed for a little pampering this morning, clean up my shaggy head of hair, then a funeral this afternoon. In between those things, I need some saltwater sand in…

It’s Not Tuff

There is an old saying, “Do the right thing even when no one is looking”. It doesn’t need a whole lot of explanation. This morning, as I was sitting on the lanai having my morning chat with Him, I thought about a situation recently. I’m really not sure why this particular time came to mind,…

Consistency

As I’ve restarted my fitness journey, one thing that is so important is consistency. Stay consistent with the way you eat, get rest, exercise, and water, oh, and sunshine every day. The more consistent you can be, the better your body feels. I thought about consistency this morning, but in a different way. Yes, my…

Focus On Jesus

Reading the title of today’s little blog pretty much sums up the message. This could be the shortest of the 1,340 blogs I’ve written 🙂 . When you think about it, though, those three words sum up how to live our lives: just focus on Jesus. Yesterday, one of our parishioners (let’s call her Jane…

Be Vulnerable

What does it take to let Him in? Well, now that’s a pretty heavy question for this little blog. After spending time with Father last night, I realized there are times when I don’t share all I should with Him. I’m not sure why, given that He knows everything anyway. He knows what I’m thinking…

Joy in the Journey

Yesterday, my husband and I took a drive. It was a beautiful day, one of those windows-down, roof-open kind of drives. I showed him the little campground I found several weeks ago. I shared about it with you in this little blog. We made our way around Marco, even driving by the “popular” Marco Airport.…

God’s Beauty

Yesterday I headed out early to spend some time on the water. I have to admit the weather was beautiful. The Florida humidity took a bit of a break, the sky had the most amazing billowy clouds, yes, it was just a beautiful day. I puttered along, casting my fishing line here and there back…
