The Change Of The Family

I’m guessing I’m like most people in that as I’ve grown older my relationship with my parents and my siblings has changed. My parents have been gone for more than 20 years, but even in those few years before they passed away my relationship with them changed. I confided in them more, grew closer to…

Jump In

Yesterday afternoon I had a wonderful conversation with a new woman in our church. I was wrapping things up at the end of the day, having just finished a monthly Zoom meeting that kept me at the office later than usual. My boss was in that meeting as well, and shortly after he said his…

Be Prepared – Live Each Day

This morning, I was looking back on some of my previous little blogs. We’re coming up on the second anniversary of Hurricane Ian, and I read the post that I wrote just a few days before that historic storm. Two years later, some people are still rebuilding and not back in their original homes. I…

I’m Trying To See

Yesterday was kind of a strange day. A series of unexpected events threw my day off. What was weird, though, is how much I accomplished even with unexpected events that took me away from what I had intended to do. I should clarify as well, that not all of the unexpected things were bad. There…

His Sheep

We really are you know, His sheep I mean. At the end of the day my friends, that is truly all that matters, Jesus is our shepherd and we are His sheep. We wander off many times, but you know what, He will leave the flock to find the one who has strayed. There is…
