Recentered…Again

Have I mentioned lately that it’s pretty interesting how Father just seems to drop into places when you really aren’t expecting it? He seems to have some pretty impeccable timing. We’re all busy these days. I frequently comment that I’m not sure where the days are going. In the midst of that busyness, it’s easy…

Touching the Fringe

A friend of mine oversees a website for his church that shares wonderful daily scripture in small snippets. The Bible can be overwhelming to read at times, it gets easier over time and the more you read it, the more it reads you. So, though I’m trying to read the Bible cover to cover, I…

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.…

Thank you so much for reaching out and for…

Take Time to Make Time

A friend reached out a few days ago to say she was in town, well not far from me anyway, and asked if we could have lunch. My schedule that particular day was crazy and I was bummed as I replied that I didn’t think it would work out. A little while later she texted…

Can it Be Said Too Much

I guess it just depends on what you are talking about, whether you can say things too much I mean. If you’re married, you probably can relate to this, the many times my husband will ask me to stop “nagging” him about something 🙂 . I don’t consider it nagging, I’m just reminding, right?  While I was…

Unbelievable… Believe

Many times in this life there are things that happen and you just think to yourself, unbelievable. Yesterday was one of those times for sure.  My husband got a phone call around 4:00 pm from a friend asking if he’d heard what happened. He was calling to let him know that traffic was going to be terrible…

It Spreads – Prayer Does

Yesterday as the news broke about the passing of Toby Keith, as we usually do, we began to see posts on social media sending condolences to the family, and lifting of prayers for comfort. What struck me yesterday though, I witnessed much more than those words of comfort. I saw prayers lifted and spreading to others. I’m…
