We Can Do This

Yesterday I was moved by many things. The 9/11 remembrances honored the many lives lost 24 years ago. Our country was forever changed on 9/11/01, and now, so many years later, we still honor those who never came home that day. That is a testament to our faith and love for God’s children. I was…

Father Weeps

I know how I feel as a parent and grandparent when my grown children and grandchildren have done things that go against what they know is right. I know how I feel when they make mistakes that could have been prevented. I feel sad, I feel hurt, and I wonder what I could have done…

Prayer for Healing

I’m on the road again this week. I’ve talked before about the 65-and-over golf group that I work with. They have two events each year, and this week is their annual fall club championship 🙂 . I love working with this group; they’ve become like an extended family to me. This morning, friends, I just…

The Feeling

I spent last week with old friends, hugged a ton, laughed a ton, shed a few tears, and soaked up the feeling of what true friendship brings. I felt the Lord at work in so many ways last week. I mean, we started every day with “Prayer and Pledge”, so how could He not be…

Words Affect

These last few days have been kind of a whirlwind. They have flown by, and as I write this little blog this morning, I think about all the people I’ve seen, met, and hugged. I’ve had amazing conversations, and I’ve overheard many others. What I realize this morning is how much words can affect our…

Father and Friendships

I’m spending this week with some old friends. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the association I was a part of in many ways for more than 15 years. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends, hugging many necks, and celebrating a community that has grown so much over the years. As I look at…

A Simple Sunday Prayer

As we all enjoy this long weekend, I thought maybe just a simple prayer for this beautiful Sunday. May your day be filled with a little relaxation, time with loved ones and friends, and time with Father. Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of rest. As we slow down this long weekend, help us…

My Heart, Your Heart

A few mornings ago, I was sitting on the lanai having my regular a.m. check-in with Father. I was asking for prayers for my “regulars,” I call them. Of course, family and friends, but also those who have specific needs, such as the return of sweet Emily Rea. As I talked with Him and prayed,…

Present Day Prayer

It’s Thursday, and the weekend is around the corner already. That’s not a bad thing. And…this weekend we have our 13th Annual fishing tournament at our church. This is a fun family event. Prizes for the kids and adults. Lots of food, lots of fun, and lots of stories about the “one that got away”.…

The Banter

I’ve shared in previous little blog posts that we have a routine of going to breakfast with friends from church. It’s become so routine that other friends and clergy ask during coffee hour, “So where are you headed to for breakfast today?”. Most of the time, we don’t know yet; we haven’t gotten that far.…
