God’s Children
Yesterday was a busy day. I first want to thank our server at the local IHOP. We stopped there first thing to grab a quick breakfast before heading off to help at our church. This woman, our server I mean, was simply awesome. She was so attentive, so happy, and so cheerful to every single…

Cleaning Up
Yes, the clean-up has begun after Ian. Yesterday as we began reinstalling the gate arms to our community, we simply could not believe how beautiful the morning was. What a difference a day makes right?! The sky was an amazing blue, the temperature was about 71 degrees and the air was “clean” if you know…

The Calm Before the Storm
Well, we live in SW Florida. It’s paradise, plain and simple. We wouldn’t be anywhere else. However, as you all know, June – October is hurricane season in Florida. And…we’ve been pretty lucky so far in 2022. Well, that all changes this weekend. We’ve got a whopper headed our way, and so far it looks…

Cupcake Flavors
Earlier this week a box arrived at our door. It was pink and the outside said “baked by Melissa”, and in large letters CUPCAKES. Um…well this sounds like fun I thought. Inside was a very nice thank you card from the friend who sent them. Also inside was, to my surprise, a flat square box,…

Youth Haven
Father has an interesting way of introducing us to situations we weren’t expecting. Last October we were at dinner with some friends and they asked if we had plans for Thanksgiving. This was the first year in over 20 that we didn’t have plans to spend it with family of some sort. “No, actually we…

Uncle Ronnie
I found myself yesterday thinking about him, my Uncle Ronnie. He was what we would refer to as a “gentle giant”. Ronnie was every bit 6′ 4″ tall, born and raised in Amarillo, TX, and as you can imagine had quite the accent. He was the kindest, gentlest man I think I’ve ever known. Of…

The Hug
Yesterday we kicked off our annual conference. It’s been a year-long planning process and it came together yesterday with a ton of energy, excitement, and just pure joy! One of the favorite parts of this time for me is the interaction with people. The support is amazing and to see eyes light up when attendees…

An Elbow, Just What I Needed
Yesterday I made the trek out to Scottsdale for our annual conference. I sat down early in the morning, like at 3:00am, to spend a little time with Father before I left. I asked a simple request in that morning prayer, “Father please keep me safe as I travel, and if you could make it…

We Owe Them
Last night I was pondering the content for this morning’s little blog, while at my desk working on detailed items for our event next week. I went over to a private FB group we have for our conference attendees, and of course, had to do this through my main FB menu, so my newsfeed popped…

Do You Need a Hand?
Yesterday my husband came home from his morning bike ride. I had just gotten home from the Frog, made my cup of coffee, and was headed to my desk. He had this smile on his face and was kind of shaking his head. I asked what was up. He asked me if I knew one…
