Bringing Out the Best

It’s been difficult for everyone over the past few days to see the images coming out of TN, NC, and FL. They are images that will never be forgotten, things we’ve never seen before in our lifetime. Something happened yesterday afternoon though. I began noticing pictures and videos being posted that showed not the devastation…

Praise You in This Storm

I’m not sure about you but yesterday was difficult. The images on social media coming out of Eastern TN and North Carolina were like nothing I’ve seen before. It’s difficult to understand the depth of the destruction that Helene has caused in these areas. I saw a report yesterday that over 30″ of rain fell…

Large and Powerful

Yesterday the pictures and videos were all over social media showing the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. We spoke with family in the midwest who were feeling her effects last night, that’s how much of the country felt this storm.

Deja Vu

Well, timing is everything they say, although I’m not sure about this timing. Two years ago yesterday I wrote a post in this little blog. It was titled, “The Calm Before the Storm” and you can read it here. I was talking about the impending arrival of Hurricane Ian. Little did I know back then…

Do You Know Me?

We had dinner with some friends last night. We’ve known them for several years and we’ve shared about our lives before moving to Florida. We know what they do for a living, we know about their children, that kind of thing. Last night though, we had wonderful conversation, sharing even more about our backgrounds, growing…

The Change Of The Family

I’m guessing I’m like most people in that as I’ve grown older my relationship with my parents and my siblings has changed. My parents have been gone for more than 20 years, but even in those few years before they passed away my relationship with them changed. I confided in them more, grew closer to…

Jump In

Yesterday afternoon I had a wonderful conversation with a new woman in our church. I was wrapping things up at the end of the day, having just finished a monthly Zoom meeting that kept me at the office later than usual. My boss was in that meeting as well, and shortly after he said his…
