Face Giants

Several weeks ago I talked about a group of friends communicating regularly through a group text. We frequently lift prayers for each other when needed, provide an encouraging word, or give hearty congrats when great things happen. One morning a member of our group posted a link to a wonderful song. Then another link was…

Let Them Do What They Do

I was talking with a close friend a few days ago, just catching up. It was a wonderful chat and as usual, we had to hang up way too soon. I was pulling into work and she was heading to the office as well so I didn’t get the opportunity to share with her one…

We had a very simple wedding, celebrated with friends afterwards, and the next night my mom hosted a lovely dinner for our families.…

Emily has been missing since July 16th when she went paddle boarding near Hungry Horse, MT. She is a skilled outdoorswoman and paddleboards almost daily. The community has rallied in an incredible way. Distributing…

Why?

It’s a short little word but it carries a ton of meaning and sometimes even more emotion. Sometimes it’s a simple question, like “Why do the people in our town not use turn signals as they should?”. Oh, and if you could answer that question for me, I’d love it, sorry, I digress 🙂 .…

Simple Notes

My granddaughter has always been a note-leaver. What does that mean you ask? Well, whenever she would come to our house my husband and I would find these little notes that she would leave for us. Usually, we’d find them on the desks in our offices. Just short little notes that were so special. When…

Twinkling of the Stars

Summer in SW Florida is pretty consistent, the day usually starts out sunny and by 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. the rain showers roll in. It’s our “rainy season” which helps to green things up and replenish our wonderful foliage for the seasonal dry spell that will begin in December. You can truly almost set your…
