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…

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…
