Feeling Lost

Over the three years that I’ve been writing this little blog, many have mentioned to me how much they look forward to it being there for them each morning. “I love to start my day by reading and enjoying my coffee”, I’ve heard many times. If I take a break for family time, holidays, and…

Perspective at Dawn

My husband and I are early risers during the week. We’ve been that way for many, many years. There is just so much you can accomplish when the rest of the world is still sleeping 🙂 . I have to admit, though, recently I’m realizing that maybe I don’t have to rise quite so early.…

A Daily Choice

Our days are filled with choices. Just think about everything you choose each day. What to wear, what to eat, which route to take to work, and if you’re in Naples, do I use a turn signal or not, LOL! The choices we make every day, well, in many cases they are too many to…

Celebrate Youth

Today is “Youth Sunday” at our church. Each year, around this weekend, we celebrate all of the young people in our church. Those in middle and high school, and one of the seniors, will give the sermon today. Others will play key roles throughout the service, ushering, reading lessons, and being a chalice bearer. It’s…

Is It Better

I’ve shared with you all before that sometimes I come to this little blog and don’t have a clue what to share. Maybe it’s because things in life are going well. I tend to draw on happenings from the previous day or so, and if it’s been kind of quiet, well, then I am searching…

Satan Loves Anger

Quite the title of this little blog today, I guess. It’s true, though. Satan takes great pleasure in watching God’s children become angry, lash out, and be unhappy. He knows that in those moments, he can get into our thoughts and encourage more of the same. He loves to egg us on, tell us behind…

Tuesday Faith

Faith, not just on Tuesdays as the title of this little blog implies, but every day. I want to thank all of you who reached out yesterday to say that you are still praying for Emily Rea and her family. It was good to see so many share the update from her family on social…

I Know the Plans

We’ve all had those times when things didn’t go the way we hoped. Heck, we even pray for things to go a certain way, and they don’t. And… sometimes it’s extremely disappointing or even painful when things don’t go the way we planned. I know when it happens to me, I’m sad or even upset…

Just Be Thankful

Have you ever just stopped and given thought to all the gifts the Lord has provided? Every day I give thanks, “in general,” for the gifts He has blessed me with. “Thank you, Lord, for all the gifts of this life” is in my morning and evening prayers. There are times when I list the…

Stick With It

So you all know I’ve started back on my fitness journey, faithfully, I guess you could say, almost a month ago. I’ve learned some things over these past weeks. First, it’s so much easier to have a steady exercise routine than to try to start one again. Back in my corporate America days, we used…
