Take Time to Make Time

A friend reached out a few days ago to say she was in town, well not far from me anyway, and asked if we could have lunch. My schedule that particular day was crazy and I was bummed as I replied that I didn’t think it would work out. A little while later she texted…

Walking in the Wilderness

Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. During this time of Lent, we observe the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness fasting and being tested by satan. It’s hard to imagine all the ways that He was tempted and tested, yet Jesus denied satan at every step, He did not sin. We can…

The Lost Art of – Do You Need Help?

Last weekend I was coming home from the grocery store. I was stopped at a red light heading north. There is a median on this particular road, in between the north and southbound lanes. The signals for the east and westbound lanes had just turned green allowing the left turn lanes to go first. A pickup truck filled with…

When You Don’t Have Words

I’m sure we’ve all been in those situations when a family member, friend, or coworker tells you something and you just don’t have words to respond.

Friends, Laughter, Looks

Last night we had dinner with some long-time friends. They were down here for a few days. Our friendship goes way back, to when our kids were little.

If it Helps…

Each morning and evening as I spend time with Father I make a point of praying for people by name. I pray for those who are facing health challenges, those who have lost loved ones, and those who are traveling, whatever the reason, I just make a point of naming them in my prayers. Father knows the…

They Made a Difference

Yesterday was our youngest’s birthday, and our oldest daughter just had a birthday a few weeks ago. For each of them this year, I did something different instead of posting on social media the embarrassing pictures of when they were young, you know those baby pictures, the goofy hairstyles, the princess dresses, ya some of them…

A Short Time Here

Yesterday was a busy day, like most these days. I was bouncing from one thing to another, lots of people coming and going in the office, several meetings going on, you get the idea. Toss in a few challenges like the copier not working as we’re printing a brochure for an event, or computer issues with the…

It’s Ok to Bite Your Tongue

Now that’s a fun title for this little blog today I think. Let’s face it, we’ve all been there, in a situation where you really want to say something to someone but something inside you says you really shouldn’t. Ya, I’ve found myself there, recently even. Let’s face it, we’re human and there are just times when…
