Weekend Wanderings

If you’ve been reading this little blog for very long you know that Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Well, ya I know, it’s a favorite day of the week for most people, for many obvious reasons. It’s typically a slower day for me and a day to get out and enjoy the…

When God Has Other Plans

Last week, a friend of mine got terrible news about her mother-in-law. She had a stroke and the outlook was not good. We all watched for updates as she was in ICU and unresponsive. The news the doctors gave was she probably would not recover. If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you dread those words, the admission that the doctors…

“Joe” and the Gym

Yesterday morning I went to the gym as I usually do. It’s always fun trying to get a parking space as there is a class before mine. I had to park a little further away than usual, and I noticed that there was someone in the car across from me. I hopped out of the…

Hearing or Listening

Lately, I’ve been praying about some things that I truly have no control over. Isn’t that when challenges seem the greatest when we have no control over them? We want to just fix things, we want to just make things better, but at the end of the day, we really do have to just give…

Eclipse

Well, in case you weren’t aware, today we’ll experience a rare full solar eclipse. Depending on where you are there could be over four minutes, (weather.com says it could be as long as 7.5 minutes), of darkness during the daytime. Unfortunately like so many things in this world, even the solar eclipse has created ugliness…

Each morning when I come to this little blog, the page that I land on shows me the activity of these little posts. If you know anything about websites, social media, the techy stuff, you know that “likes”, “clicks” or “views” are where it’s at. Well, that is if you find that stuff important. The…

Love and Acceptance

Why is it that we as humans always think we know best? Well, that’s a pretty open-ended question, isn’t it? Yesterday I mentioned here in this little blog that I had a few situations that I’m trying to resolve. These situations are really more just misunderstandings and the best way to handle those is to…

In the Open

My husband and I have a practice of saying grace before we eat. It doesn’t matter if we’re grabbing something quick while driving, having holiday dinner, breakfast with friends, or just eating at the kitchen table at home, we say a little prayer. It’s just ingrained in us, it’s second nature and we just give…

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…
