Prayers for Paradise

Living here in SW Florida, we’ve had our share of hurricanes over the past few years. So far it appears we will get through this season without a major event here in our little paradise. Unfortunately, it looks like another paradise island, Jamaica is going to get the brunt of Hurricane Melissa. This storm is…

A Hero

Over the past three years, since I started writing this little blog, Father’s little blog, I dubbed it this week, I’ve shared a story about a friend of mine, Tommy Gilbert. I’ve shared the story on this day each year. I share it on this particular day because it was on this day, 19 years…

Keep Digging

This morning, I was reading a devotional that a friend sends me each day. It is focusing on the Lord’s Prayer and discusses the meaning of each section. We’re at the part of “Lead us not into temptation”. One of the pieces of scripture focused on Job. We all know how faithful Job was to…

Not Mine

I had an interesting slip of words this morning. Well, I don’t know whether it was a slip of words or if it was a correction. Let me explain. You have all heard me refer to this little blog, or the little blog. I really haven’t used the phrase my little blog. It’s funny because…

Today Is A Gift

Yes, yes it is. Of course, every day is a gift; we all know that. You all know that I love Saturday. It’s the one morning in the week when I catch a little more z’s and don’t have to rush out the door to work. We have a few things on our to-do list…

What If

About a month ago, in this little blog, I shared a conversation I had with my husband. He was telling me about how he prays for satan. Yes, you heard that right. It is such an interesting perspective, and over the past month, since writing that little blog, I’ve been thinking a lot about the…

Back to Personal

I’m fortunate to be of an age where many of my friends still write, yes handwrite, thank you notes. We all still send real birthday cards, not e-cards. We send hand-addressed and signed Christmas cards. Yes, I love that so many still hold to this practice. It’s personal, and it shows that you took the…

The Race

One of my dearest friends passed away almost eight years ago after fighting a fierce battle with an ugly disease known as ALS. She fought that battle with grace, if that is possible with this disease. Not long after she was officially diagnosed, she asked a group of her friends to figure out a way…

Giving Grace

Newsflash…we’re not all perfect. Just in case you were wondering if it was just you, or if others make mistakes too. Well, breathe a sigh of relief because we’re all in the boat together. We are humans; we make mistakes, sometimes doozies. We do silly things that sometimes make no sense. We hurt those we…

The Friends

I’m so fortunate to have wonderful friends. My “circle” isn’t huge, but those that I consider close friends are more like family to me 🙂 . I’m guessing I’m not alone in that regard; you all are blessed in that way, too. This morning, as I was thinking about my friends and smiling to myself…
