Start Somewhere

I shared a few months ago in this little blog about the project to take down and rebuild our church. It’s an emotional project, as you can probably imagine. We are just a few meetings away from final approvals from the local officials, and I guess you could say, it’s getting real. We are at…

His Presence

This week has been a whirlwind. Maybe it’s the three-day weekend that has thrown me off, but alas, it is Friday already 🙂 . As I was preparing for this little blog this morning, oh, and by the way, I changed things up a bit so I can ride my bike watching the sun come…

Plug In

This morning, as I rode my bike, I was listening to a replay of CeCe Winans giving the sermon at her church on Mother’s Day. Wow, it was such a good message, as she spoke about mothers praying for their daughters. Actually, the title of her sermon was, “Don’t Stop Praying”. As I listened to…

Tuesday Faith

Faith, not just on Tuesdays as the title of this little blog implies, but every day. I want to thank all of you who reached out yesterday to say that you are still praying for Emily Rea and her family. It was good to see so many share the update from her family on social…

Stick With It

So you all know I’ve started back on my fitness journey, faithfully, I guess you could say, almost a month ago. I’ve learned some things over these past weeks. First, it’s so much easier to have a steady exercise routine than to try to start one again. Back in my corporate America days, we used…

Tried and True

I’ve started something with my morning prayers and conversations with Father. I’ve added the Lord’s Prayer to the end of my conversation each morning. In the past, whenever I didn’t know what to pray or what to say to the Lord, well, I always fell back to His prayer. I’m guessing that is pretty common…

Picayune

As I was driving home last night, I noticed what I thought were weird clouds in the distance. The closer I got to home, the more I realized these weren’t clouds; this was smoke, and like a lot of it. By the time I got home, the smoke had made its way from the southeast…

Operations of Easter

So, this week I’ve been talking with Father as I do my morning walk or bike ride. It’s been a nice change, as I’m spending more time in conversation and prayer. As I was riding along this morning, listening to the consistent hum of the tires, I began thinking about next week, Holy Week. To…

Helpless…No

We’ve all had those moments when we’ve felt helpless. Things happen that are out of our control, and we simply don’t know what to do. I think, for instance, about natural disasters. They happen, they do damage, and there is not much we can do to stop them; we can only prepare as best we…
