Give Yourself Grace
This morning, as I thought about this week coming to a close, ya, I can’t believe it’s Friday already, I thought about conversations I’ve had with friends. I’ve had some text and verbal conversations with friends over the past few days, and we’re all feeling a need for rest, both physically and mentally. This weekend…

Taking Care
Yesterday, they removed the bells from the church bell tower. It was a fascinating process to watch. The heaviest bell weighs 900 pounds and took quite some time to maneuver out. I promise, I’m not going to give a daily account of the demo and reconstruction of our little church. I wanted to share some…

Hand Up, Not Out
I think it’s probably safe to say that we’ve all had times in our lives when we’ve needed a hand. We’ve gone through or are going through a difficult situation. Maybe facing the loss of a loved one, an illness, perhaps the loss of a job, or having lived through a natural disaster. Whatever the…

What Is It To You
What is prayer to you? This morning, as I prayed my usual petitions, I thought about what the Lord wants from me when I pray. Yes, I ask for forgiveness; I ask for healing and protection of family and friends. I ask for the return of sweet Emily Rea. Is that enough? I wondered this…

Waterlogged Blessings
Yesterday was Rally Day at church. I’ve mentioned it before. Think of it as a church picnic, complete with BBQ lunch (by one of the best BBQ guys in SW Florida), a water slide, games for the youth, fishing from the dock, oh, and the Kona Ice truck 🙂 . It’s a fun day for…

Rise Again
Yesterday afternoon, my husband and I went to set up the altar for church this morning. Since we’ve been out of town all week, this was the first time we’ve seen the building with the construction fence up. The protective scaffolding was up to make sure the churchyards (burial grounds), on each side of the…

Let the Music Give the Message
It’s been a long week; well, let me say it’s been an emotional week. I have to admit that trying to find the message for today’s blog has been a little tough. Sometimes music is the best way to soak up the message that Father wants us to receive. This morning, friends, I simply share…

The Day that Followed
Today we remember 2977 of our fellow citizens who perished on this day 25 years ago. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. If you are like me, you remember exactly where you were on 9/11/01. I remember the day like it was yesterday. The images of that day, though hardly ever shown, are…

Things Are Just Things
What matters to you? Is it the house, the car or truck, the newest cell phone or tech gadget, the country club membership? I hope not. What should matter most is family. Your husband, wife, kids, siblings, grandkids, and all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and the like. This, my friends, is what is most important…

Sunrises, Sunsets and the In Between
This morning is one of those mornings when the little blog isn’t quite coming together as I’d hoped. I have written and rewritten it several times. I guess I have too much going through my head right now. I wanted to be with my team at home yesterday as they took the final items from…
