In the Midst of Advent
This is the third Sunday of Advent. It’s known as Rose Sunday. If you have an Advent wreath, this is the Sunday that we light the pink candle. Rose Sunday is when we take a little break from the somberness of Advent to enjoy the excitement of the coming of the Baby Jesus. I read…

The Trees & The Memories
Yesterday, some wonderful volunteers at our church came in to help decorate the Christmas tree that fills our parish hall with such warmth. Another longtime parishioner donated a lifetime’s worth of ornaments to the church several years ago. There are hundreds of ornaments from all over the world. From large, small, plain-colored balls to intricate…

Adopted Grandmas
I had a wonderful conversation yesterday. I came here last week to ask for prayers for little baby Briggs, the grandson of a friend of mine. And…pray you did. Briggs’ grandmother has been keeping me updated. He had a little setback last week, but the medical team assured the family that he was doing well.…

Helping Hands
Over the past few days, I’ve noticed something. I’ve noticed the helping hands of so many and the willingness to help with the littlest of things. As I mentioned in this little blog a few days ago, our annual Christmas Market was this week. It’s a big deal and attracts hundreds of people during the…

Second Chance
Over the last few months, I’ve been going through the process of hiring a new team member. To say that it hasn’t been easy might be a tad of an understatement. There have been hundreds of applications and resumes submitted for the position. Fortunately, I haven’t had to go through every one of them, not…

If You Choose
I’ve been spending time with friends over the past few days. Last night, we wrapped up our time together with dinner and a sunset cruise. Our time together has been priceless, with memories shared and memories made. After dinner, we boarded the boat for the cruise and headed to the top deck. As we left…

The Surprise
Sometimes you just have to plan a surprise 🙂 . A group of friends has been planning a gathering to surprise one of our mentors, (in my past career). We’ve all “grown up” under this wonderful woman. She helped many of us get started in a profession that became a career. She’s one of the…

Too Nice
A friend put a post on social media last night that she’s been accused of being too nice. At first, I read that and thought you are nice and wonderful to people. She went on to say that maybe she was too nice, but she would rather give a little grace than get into it…
