Love Your People
A dear friend of mine is going through a difficult time. I’ve spoken of her often here, and today I just ask for continued prayers for her family. You see, she is Emily Rea’s aunt. Unfortunately, they had to say goodbye to another family member over the past few days. Yesterday on social media, my…

Rainy Days and Sundays
Didn’t the chorus of that popular Carpenters song just run through your head when you read the title of today’s little blog? You can thank me later for planting that tune in your head for the balance of the day 🙂 . Yesterday was Sunday, and it was indeed a rainy one here in SW…

In a Pickle
Ever have one of those days when you’re just in a bad mood? You wake up, and things are out of sorts. Maybe you didn’t sleep well, maybe the weather is crummy, maybe it’s a Monday, and you’re just dreading the day. Or maybe there really isn’t a reason, and you are just in a…

Are You In?
Yesterday, one of our parishioners, well, more than that, a friend, messaged one of my coworkers and asked, “Are you in the office today”? This friend has had some serious health issues and a few surgeries recently. We’ve all been praying for her, and yesterday she wanted to take a short drive. We welcomed her…

Indulgence
Last night, on the way home from dinner, I found myself listening to the Barry Manilow radio station on Pandora. Yes, truth be told, I’m a Fanilow, always have been. I can remember sitting in my bedroom as a kid and playing his albums, yes, the real vinyl albums, for hours on end. When we…

Back to Simple
Last night we had dinner with a few friends, well, like 70 of ’em. During the summer (the “off-season), here in SW Florida, our church works with local restaurants to host dinners. I’ve mentioned them here before. It’s a great way to support the local businesses, especially during slower times, and our parishioners who live…

A Reminder to Myself
I have a pretty full day ahead of me, but I’m going to make a point of carving out time for a walk on the beach. Headed for a little pampering this morning, clean up my shaggy head of hair, then a funeral this afternoon. In between those things, I need some saltwater sand in…

God’s Beauty
Yesterday I headed out early to spend some time on the water. I have to admit the weather was beautiful. The Florida humidity took a bit of a break, the sky had the most amazing billowy clouds, yes, it was just a beautiful day. I puttered along, casting my fishing line here and there back…

A Way to Live
Yesterday, we celebrated the life of a sweet friend, Polly. I shared a about her in a little blog post last week. Polly was the Parish Administrator before me, and she was one of the most loving, supportive, and well, funny women I have ever met. She was such a gentle soul. I know she…

Better Than Yesterday
My simple prayer this morning as I rode my bike with Father is the title of today’s little blog. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had slightly changed my morning routine. Instead of just sitting on the lanai and spending a few moments each morning with Father, I spend a little more time…
