The Eve
Christmas Eve. Just saying the words stirs up emotions, doesn’t it? Go ahead, say it, “Christmas Eve”. The thoughts that come to mind for me range from thinking about the Baby Jesus to the memories of Christmas past with our children. Yes, Christmas Eve, it’s a powerful time, emotionally, I mean. As I look back…

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…

A Price
I’ve shared with you all before that sometimes I come to this little blog and don’t have a clue what I’m going to say. Father usually gives me a boost, and everything falls into place. Well, this morning I had just the opposite issue. I have several thoughts that I’d like to share, and I’m…

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…

Let Your Light Shine
For me, today is one of the most special days of the year. Today is National Wreaths Across America Day. This organization’s mission is to lay a wreath at the gravesite of every veteran, and they are making progress for sure. The act of taking time to personally lay a wreath at the grave of…

Dual Meaning
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Believe sung by Josh Groban. This is the title song for the movie Polar Express. I’m sure you are all familiar with the plot. A young boy has come to that sad point where he no longer believes in Santa, or at least he’s close to it. The…

The Trees & The Memories
Yesterday, some wonderful volunteers at our church came in to help decorate the Christmas tree that fills our parish hall with such warmth. Another longtime parishioner donated a lifetime’s worth of ornaments to the church several years ago. There are hundreds of ornaments from all over the world. From large, small, plain-colored balls to intricate…

It’s Not About…
I was thinking about this little blog this morning. It was one of those mornings when I was struggling a bit about what to share. Even my morning check-in with Father didn’t really yield a message, which is unusual. However, throughout the morning, my mind keeps returning to a situation from yesterday. I don’t want…

Adopted Grandmas
I had a wonderful conversation yesterday. I came here last week to ask for prayers for little baby Briggs, the grandson of a friend of mine. And…pray you did. Briggs’ grandmother has been keeping me updated. He had a little setback last week, but the medical team assured the family that he was doing well.…

Celebrate Prayer
Yes, I think we should…celebrate prayer that is. I guess that seems kind of odd to say, let’s celebrate prayer. Well, I don’t know why we wouldn’t, because you know, it’s a pretty amazing thing. The power of prayer is real, and it’s a force to be reckoned with. Over the past few weeks, I’ve…
