Heavy Lifting
I’m pretty routine about going to my little gym. I’ve been a member there since not long after we moved here. Though it’s changed ownership, much of the clientele remained and our 6:00 a.m. group is pretty consistent. The type of workouts changed with the new ownership over a year ago, they really focus more…

Restored
I shared several weeks ago that my husband and I were having a piece of furniture restored. It was my mother-in-law’s secretary desk. We aren’t quite sure but we believe it was actually her mother’s before that. We asked the man who restored it if he could tell how old it was. He commented that…

Santa Needs Prayers
Friends, this morning I’m coming to you to ask for prayers. You see one of the nicest men I’ve had the pleasure of knowing is having heart surgery today. Yes, as the title of this little blog implies, he’s Santa. Well, his name is Paul, but he’s Santa to those of us who know him.…

Let Love be Genuine
Well, it’s a busy day on tap here. If you’ve been following along this week you know I’ve been overseeing a large event that’s taking place tonight at our church. Each year we raise funds for community outreach, and this year I’m happy to say we’ve approved grants for 16 organizations in the community. We…

You’re Not Weak
It’s a busy week ahead. We have a very large event on Thursday that I’m overseeing. Each year our church gives grants to local charities in our county. This year we’ve approved grants to 16 charities, and the event Thursday wraps up the grant process and secures the final funds needed for these organizations. It’s…

Listen
Well, there’s a simple title for today’s little blog. A single word but my, it conveys so much. You all know I spend time each morning before I sit down here, talking with Father. It’s my “check-in” with Him before I start the day. It’s kind of like grounding myself before the day’s business takes over and if I…

Walking in the Wilderness
Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. During this time of Lent, we observe the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness fasting and being tested by satan. It’s hard to imagine all the ways that He was tempted and tested, yet Jesus denied satan at every step, He did not sin. We can…

When You Don’t Have Words
I’m sure we’ve all been in those situations when a family member, friend, or coworker tells you something and you just don’t have words to respond. You hear sad news, or an unbelievable story, someone says something mean, you get what I’m saying, the words you hear just leave you speechless. What happens when you just don’t…

Always a Parent
I remember when our kids were small, they would come to me or my husband when they got hurt or felt sick. I realize this is not something overly special just for us, all kids do that. Their first instinct is to go to where they feel safe, they go to a place of trust, and that…

Father First
It might be a short little blog this morning. You see I found myself on the lanai with Father a little longer. This morning it just felt good, well even better than other days, it felt good to just sit and be in conversation with Him. I guess as our relationship with God strengthens, actually a better word…
