I was talking with a close friend a few days ago, just catching up. It was a wonderful chat and as usual, we had to hang up way too soon. I was pulling into work and she was heading to the office as well so I didn’t get the opportunity to share with her one…

Over the last few months I’ve asked almost daily that you all help me to lift prayers for the niece of a friend of mine, Emily Rea. She went missing on July 16th near Hungry Horse Reservoir, MT. Many of you have asked me if there is any news about the search or her whereabouts.…

Furfriends Community

We’re moving into fall and here in SW Florida that means the return of many “seasonal residents”. We lament the days when we see the “car trucks” returning. These are the trucks that are transporting the vehicles as their owners fly to their winter residences. The return of the “snowbirds” as we call them, well…
