When He Tries

This morning, as I was thinking about this past week, I thought about all the ways that the fallen one tried to disrupt plans. Boy, he was active; that is for sure. He found little cracks and went to work to make them craters. He tried to plant seeds of doubt. He tried to sew…

When It Sneaks Up

On the way home last night, I found one of my favorite stations on Pandora and cranked up the tunes. My husband and I had driven separately to work because I needed to get in earlier. Normally, the radio is off in our vehicles, especially when we are riding together because we’re usually chatting. It…

It Is What It Is – Or Is It

Yesterday morning as I was heading out the door to work, my facilities manager sent me a text message. It was a video and he simply said “be prepared for a computer glitch”. The video was of my pc at work making some sort of crazy beeping noise and an error message on the screen.…

Humbleness and Humility

This morning, right on schedule, I received my daily scripture reading and reflection from my Priest friend. I’ve mentioned him before here in this little blog. Like this little blog, there are days when his text just hits home. I find myself saying, “I needed this today”, after reading it. Today was one of those…

In The Rain

We’ve finally gotten into a “traditional” Florida rain pattern. When I was younger, I would visit my dad here, and you could set your watch by the summer rains in the afternoon. They would roll in around 3:00 p.m., stick around for about an hour, and be done. It was pretty much an everyday occurrence.…

Well, I’m not sure where the time has gone this morning, but I find myself sitting down at this little blog with just a short window to share some thoughts. I guess I tried to squeeze a little too much into my morning before heading out to church. I was busy yesterday working with the…

Ace

I’ve been following a story from Polk County, FL over the past few days. It’s a sad story, but one that also shows the heart of God’s children and how they come together in difficult times. The story is about one of the county’s K-9 officers named Ace. Ace was shot by a wanted suspect…

The Opposite

Yesterday morning in this little blog, I wrote about the oddness of the week. Well, I’m happy to say the oddness continued throughout the day 🙂 . It truly got to the point where my co-workers and I had to just laugh about the things that were happening. At one point, we jokingly started listing…

A Port in the Storm

I think I’ve mentioned before that our church sits right in the middle of a neighborhood in what we call “Old Naples”. The church building sits literally on a triangular piece of land with three streets connecting around it. Our parish hall, offices, and Sunday school wing are across the street. Homes surround our campus.…

Through the Clouds

My husband and I spent a few days in the Upper Keys to celebrate our anniversary. It was a nice time away, and the life there is a tad more laid-back than here. Everywhere you look, people are in shorts, sandals, and usually a T-shirt referencing some local hangout, or something to do with fishing.…
