Laces of Love

Last night we met at church for a gathering. This is the time when many of our parishioners are coming back from being up north all summer. Many are seeing Naples and the surrounding area, and the results of Ian at our church for the first time. We gathered to reconnect and share updates on…

Better Days

I’ve seen several videos, that have just been taken over the past week or so, of areas affected by Ian. They show the coastline with houses in rubble, overhead shots showing the familiar “blue tarps” covering roofs and entire sections of a town that is simply gone.

Comfort Food

Remember yesterday I mentioned how it was going to be nice to have some downtime? I had thoughts of just taking a walk, playing in the dirt with some plants or just spending some time on the lanai to be with God. Well, you know what they say about the best-laid plans. I can’t really…

The Bat Signal

Over the past weeks since Ian, I’ve mentioned how I’ve met some pretty incredible people through volunteer efforts.

Football

Yesterday was a day filled with continued clean-up efforts. I met some new friends and realized how easy it is to get to know people 🙂 . Yesterday was of course also college football game day!

Receiving

Over the past several weeks since Ian, you all know I’ve been lending a hand to coordinate volunteers. These volunteers have been simply amazing. People I don’t even know have gone out to the homes of people they don’t even know, to help them clean up and rebuild. What I’ve also learned though is that…

Ghost

A little music with your morning coffee. I apologize ahead of time for the refrain that will be running through your head all day…or maybe I don’t, LOL! Keep leaning in friends, this Ghost is with us always 🙂 Romans 15:13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so…

What Can I Do

Short little blog today, many of you are probably thankful for that, LOL! So many of you have reached out and asked “what can I do?”. I have to admit I’ve not watched the TV or the news since last Thursday, which might be a good thing. I’ve been focused on the needs of our…
