Love…Every Day
Another Valentine’s Day rolls around. A day when we celebrate love. A day filled with hearts, cards, chocolate, flowers, and all the things associated with love. We share these little gifts to show those we love that we care. What would happen, though, if we approached every day the way we do Valentine’s Day? I…

Laugh at Yourself
I believe Father gave us the gift of laughter for many reasons. You’ve probably heard that it takes fewer facial muscles to laugh than to frown. Well, that alone should tell us we should be laughing more. I got home a little later than usual last night, to say it was a strange day, well,…

Going Back
I haven’t had the chance to capture a nice sunrise or sunset recently. It’s been cold and windy most nights when we’ve left the office, and stepping out on the beach only increases the cold and wind. Ya, I know, I’ve gotten pretty whimpy lately. So, I’ve been going back through my hundreds of sunrise…

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…

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…

Lost and Found
We got a call yesterday from one of our parishioners. John had lost his phone and glasses and was fairly certain that he had left them in the pew where he had been sitting on Sunday morning. I asked my facilities manager to go on the hunt for the missing items. He searched everywhere in…

Listen to the Happy
I’ve noticed that as I’ve grown older, and more importantly, as I’ve deepened my relationship with Father, my taste in music has changed. I find myself listening to more Christian music because the message resonates with me more. Don’t get me wrong, I still have the old playlists that I pull out occasionally. I love…

Be An Elf
Today, after church, our youth group kids will head out to shop for gifts for a wonderful organization with which we partner. The youth have been raising funds for an Advent service project to provide gifts for 100 children who are part of the Fun Time Academy here in Naples. This organization’s mission is to…

Share a Little Jesus
A few months ago, I shared here in this little blog about a “Little Jesus” that a friend had given me. Over the course of several weeks after receiving Him, I started to see these little figures in various places, restaurants, stores, even at the car rental counter in the airport! I began carrying mine…
