The Touch
Yesterday I was at church longer than usual. I actually went to two services. “Wow, she needed some extra Jesus”, you are probably thinking. Well, I can always use more Jesus, although that wasn’t the reason for two services. I’m fortunate to be close friends with the world’s best photographer team, and yesterday they came…

Let Him Have This Day
I’m heading out early this morning. The 1/2 marathon runs right by our church, so I’m trying to beat the runners, lol, pun intended. So friends, I’ll just share a tune for you to start your Sunday. May your day be filled with opportunities to spend time with Father. Let Him have this day 🙂…

Look Past It
I’m guessing, if you’re like me, you’ve had times in your life when you’ve felt slighted, wronged, or you’ve felt like something just wasn’t fair. Yes, there have been a few times in my life when I’ve been there, done that. As parents, we try to teach our kids that life is not always going…

Sticking To It
Yep, that’s what I’m doing today. One of my first 2026 posts in this little blog was about taking the time to work on the paint-by-number that I purchased at Christmas back in 2020. Yes, five years ago, and I haven’t come close to finishing it. This is the year that I do. I encouraged…

Getting Through
Over the past few days, I’ve been thinking about difficult things that have happened to people. Some I don’t even know. I shared a few days ago the story of a young 4-year-old boy who went missing on New Year’s Eve day. Unfortunately, they found his body a day or so later. Of course, I…

You Are Not Alone
Well, I think I could probably just end this little blog post with the title and a scripture verse and call it done for the day 🙂 . I think I’ve shared here before that each morning when I sit down to write this little blog, I generally have an idea of what I want…

God Restores
Today we’re going to spend the day putting away Christmas. Even though there are still a few days of those 12 days of Christmas remaining, we don’t have to have the decorations up to celebrate them. I must admit, there is a feeling of newness when we get everything put nicely away, do a little…

A Year Stronger
We find ourselves again on the last day of the year. If you’re like me, you are wondering where the year went. Yes, it’s true, the older we get, the faster time goes. This morning, I looked back at my little blog post from one year ago today. As I read it, I realized one…

Be Present
Our 4:00 p.m. Christmas Eve service is made for kids. This service allows the children to participate. They bring ornaments (many of which they made several weeks before on Cookie Sunday) to the Creche to lay at the feet of Mary. Once placed carefully there with Baby Jesus, our priest will bless them along with…

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…
