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…

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…

Keep Coming Back

Take a moment to think about your favorite restaurant. What makes it your favorite place? Is it the food, the atmosphere, the service, the people who go there, what makes it so special to you? When I think about the few places that my husband and I love to go, I’m reminded of the wonderful…

A Way to Live

Yesterday, we celebrated the life of a sweet friend, Polly. I shared a about her in a little blog post last week. Polly was the Parish Administrator before me, and she was one of the most loving, supportive, and well, funny women I have ever met. She was such a gentle soul. I know she…

Turning the Cheek

I’ve shared with you all that I have a dear friend who is an Anglican priest. Every day, he sends a devotional/educational/inspirational text. His text today was timely. This morning, he shared the reading from Matthew where Jesus asks us to turn the other cheek. I have to admit, I struggle with this gospel; it’s…

It’s Going to Anyway

Yesterday, I shared a little about my commitment to caring for the Temple the Lord has gifted me. It’s a journey that will take time; after all, I didn’t get this way overnight, even though it sure feels like it happened that quickly. It’s the “it will take some time” aspect that can be frustrating…

Keeping On

My husband and I were talking about this little blog last night. I was sharing that I never know when a little blog is going to touch someone. There are times when I hit the “publish” button and think, “Hmm, I’m not sure that was even coherent”. Yet, I’ll get several text messages or comments…

Ice Cream Lessons

One of the very first little blogs I wrote was recapping an evening my husband and I had several years ago. After dinner at home, he asked me if I wanted to get ice cream. We did and had a wonderful time reminiscing about the many years we have been together. Well, last night, once…
