His Prayer

If you’ve been reading this little blog for very long, you know that I’ve come here at times sharing how I don’t have a clue what to write some days. I try to jot down notes when something comes to mind during the day, or when a situation occurs that is clearly God at work.…

It’s Your Right

If you’re like me, you’ve had your fill of election primary season texts, robo calls, postcards, and commercials. It’s stunning to me that the amount of money is being spent not to talk about the issues, but rather to simply trash whatever opponent(s) you have. There are so many accusations flying around; you simply don’t…

Sharing A Prayer

Can I just say that this has been an odd week? And…it’s only Wednesday. Just odd little things happening, you know, the type of things that make you scratch your head and think, really? As I sat this morning and talked with Father about the weirdness, asking Him for guidance, I heard “share a prayer”.…

Unanswered Prayers

Last night, as I sat with Father before bed, I said, as I do every morning and evening, a prayer to bring sweet Emily Rea home to her family. Last night, though, it was with a little more earnestness. We’re coming up this week on the anniversary of her disappearance; maybe that is why I’ve…

Six Days

I took some time off this past week. It was nice. I celebrated my birthday with good friends, sitting by the water, fishing pole in hand for most of the day, and relaxing. The balance of the six days, well, I did much of the same. I can spend hours just sitting on a dock…

Walk with an Open Heart

This morning, as I often do, I asked Father what message I could share today. “Open your heart” is what I heard as I sat and prayed. Listening to our Lord is more about listening with your heart than your ears. How many times have you given the advice to someone who is trying to…

The Great Physician

Over the last few days, I’ve shared updates about young Indiana Feek, the daughter of Rory Feek. Yesterday, she underwent open heart surgery to repair a small hole in her heart that she has had since birth. The surgery was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but an emergency took the surgeon to another case, so Indy’s…

A Better Place

Yesterday, a group of parishioners gathered in our parish hall to set up for an event we’ve held for the past three years. It’s the annual backpack drive. You see, there is a wonderful organization here that collects pre-filled backpacks with school supplies for underserved children. There is an option to provide backpacks for any…

God Doesn’t See Walls

A few months ago, in this little blog, I shared that we are in the midst of a big project at church. Well, actually, that is the big project. After extensive research and thoughtful prayer, we made the decision that we must take down the current building and rebuild it at a higher elevation. The…

Joy in the Journey

Yesterday, my husband and I took a drive. It was a beautiful day, one of those windows-down, roof-open kind of drives. I showed him the little campground I found several weeks ago. I shared about it with you in this little blog. We made our way around Marco, even driving by the “popular” Marco Airport.…
