I Gave You These

My husband “scheduled” a call with his younger brother last night. I know it sounds kind of formal, but really, it was just making the time for them to chat. With the time difference and work schedules, it’s been difficult for them to connect. So after dinner last night, he made his way to his…

Tuesday Pick Me Up

I don’t know about you, but sometimes for me Tuesday is a more difficult day of the week to get going than Monday. Maybe it’s because over the years of working, we expect Mondays to be a challenge. I mean, we’re coming off a weekend and all. Tuesday, on the other hand, well, it’s that…

Comfortable

Take a moment to think about the relationships in your life. The relationship you have with your spouse, family, and close friends. Are you comfortable in those relationships? I’ve mentioned here before that we go to breakfast on Sunday mornings following church, with some good friends of ours. It’s kind of a joke now about…

Always With Me

Over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed something during the night. I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m a pretty light sleeper, although that has improved, thank goodness. Anyway, recently, when I wake up in the evening, maybe a bathroom trip, for instance, I find I have a song playing in my head. It’s not…

Check In

Well, the crazy weather continues. Yesterday, while leaving work, my husband and I noticed all of the communities here in Naples covering their flower beds. I, too, checked in with our church landscaper to make sure he had a plan to protect ours. There is a cold snap, a pretty good one heading our way…

The Chats

One of the best parts of my job is those times when parishioners just stop in to my office to say “Hi” or to catch up. Yesterday was one of those days. Mid-morning, after the weekly Bible studies, the chair of our building project committee stopped in. He wandered in and said, “Morning, Kim, I…

Share Prayer

Can we ever have too much prayer? I guess that is one of the silliest questions I might have ever posed in this little blog, right?! No, I don’t believe we can ever have too much prayer in our lives. I don’t believe we can pray too much for others. I don’t believe that we…

The Funk

I’m not sure about everyone else, but over the past few days, I’ve found myself in a “funk”. Maybe it’s the cold weather. Yes, I realize that we can’t complain because we’re not in the sub-zero temperatures here in SW Florida. However, it has been cold here, and this weekend we will be even colder.…

Raising

Last night we had our annual meeting at church. It’s a time when we come together to review the past year, discuss, and plan for the year ahead. This year will be different for our church. You see, we are embarking on a large project. A project that carries with it much emotion. Over the…

His Creatures

Yesterday, I spent the day on the water. I know, I know, many of you reading this were/are hunkered down through a major winter storm. Continued prayers for all of you in the frozen tundra! It was a beautiful day, and almost perfect for being on the water. I have found recently that I just…
