A Day of Prayer

As everyone knows the news this week has gotten considerably more distressing. The events in the Middle East are escalating and the “chatter” intensifying. There are groups calling for violence today, October 13th, Friday the 13th. I don’t think that is a coincidence, a day that is associated with darkness. Our world is a scary…

Unspoken Love

I’ve been thinking a lot about my parents lately. Not quite sure why, but I found myself thinking about them again last night and even had some memories of a favorite uncle. You see each of them had a huge influence on my life. They weren’t perfect, oh my no, but they were strong in…

Connected – or Not

Yesterday morning a friend, (one of my Marco Patriot Peeps), texted me from up north and asked if I had phone service. I replied that I did. We had been seeing several posts come in for our Marco Patriots FB group, where people were asking about phone service being down. Well, indeed it was true,…

Bond of the Band

Yesterday as I was headed to the Blessing of the Pets at our church I drove by one of the larger high schools in town. Their football field faces the road I was on, and a familiar sight caught my eye. When I saw it I had to roll down my window to hear the…

Thank You’s and Pets

Well to say that I’m a little overwhelmed with the loving and encouraging comments on this little blog, the text messages, emails, and social media messages, I received from yesterday’s little blog post, yes that would be an understatement. As I said yesterday, I’m blessed beyond words. I’m kind of speechless, which doesn’t happen often…

Take the Time to Chat

Last night we found a rare occasion when my husband and I actually had time to chat while making dinner. We found ourselves stepping away from work while it was still light outside and actually surprised ourselves when we had eaten and cleaned up the dishes and it wasn’t close to 8:00pm. That is unusual…

Replacing Kleenex & Making Lunch

This morning I was a tad out of my routine. I found myself doing little things around the house before I sat down at my desk. I had my morning talk with Father and while doing so felt a push to take care of things. Kind of strange I know, but afterward I did just…

Comfort Food – Mmmm

I’ve noticed over the past week or so, everyone is starting to dig the fall decorations out, (even though the season doesn’t officially start until later this week). The pumpkins and fall leaves, acorns, gourds, and the Indian corn are starting to appear on doorsteps, and around homes, it’s quite festive. Even though you all…

Who Needs It?

Now I’m guessing when you saw the title of this little blog this morning you might be thinking I’m fed up with something. I remember as a kid, my mom would comfort me if I had a bad day at school, she’d say something like, “Well who needs ’em anyway”, referring to kids who may…

Uncomfortable?

When our kids were little, my husband and I would say grace each meal and we taught our kids to bow their heads as we gave thanks. As they got older they began to say the prayer with us, and they knew whenever we sat down to eat, wherever we were we would say our…
