Focus On Jesus

Reading the title of today’s little blog pretty much sums up the message. This could be the shortest of the 1,340 blogs I’ve written 🙂 . When you think about it, though, those three words sum up how to live our lives: just focus on Jesus. Yesterday, one of our parishioners (let’s call her Jane…

Be Vulnerable

What does it take to let Him in? Well, now that’s a pretty heavy question for this little blog. After spending time with Father last night, I realized there are times when I don’t share all I should with Him. I’m not sure why, given that He knows everything anyway. He knows what I’m thinking…

God’s Work

Yesterday I spent time out on the water. As I mentioned in the little blog yesterday morning, the weather forecast wasn’t the greatest, but that was ok. For once, they were pretty accurate; it drizzled most of the day. You know what, that was ok, it was so peaceful, I didn’t see anyone for hours,…

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…
