Not Just Words

Yesterday I returned to work after a long weekend, (well longer than planned), away. You can check yesterday’s little blog for more about the longer-than-planned part 🙂 . As happens with everyone I suppose, my first day back, ya it kind of flew by. As I made my way through the day checking things off…

Simpler Times

My husband and I spent the weekend at his high school class reunion. He was born and raised in a small town in Illinois. This year was an anniversary year, his 50th. We’ve been to many of his reunions over the years and I’ve come to know some of his closest childhood friends. Unfortunately, his…

We Got This

My boss, (our Rector), has been on sabbatical for the last several months. I believe, (I guess I should know this), that it’s the first time he’s been gone for this long since he started almost 15 years ago. It’s been an interesting time over the past three months, in a good way actually. You…

Lost With Father

When we moved to Florida many years ago, one of the things we gave up was a large yard. It provided so many opportunities to work with my hands; planting flowers, trimming roses, growing veggies, you get the idea. I miss having that space and spending time with Father doing those things. We live in…

The community has rallied in an incredible way. Distributing…

Why?

It’s a short little word but it carries a ton of meaning and sometimes even more emotion. Sometimes it’s a simple question, like “Why do the people in our town not use turn signals as they should?”. Oh, and if you could answer that question for me, I’d love it, sorry, I digress 🙂 .…

Simple Notes

My granddaughter has always been a note-leaver. What does that mean you ask? Well, whenever she would come to our house my husband and I would find these little notes that she would leave for us. Usually, we’d find them on the desks in our offices. Just short little notes that were so special. When…

Twinkling of the Stars

Summer in SW Florida is pretty consistent, the day usually starts out sunny and by 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. the rain showers roll in. It’s our “rainy season” which helps to green things up and replenish our wonderful foliage for the seasonal dry spell that will begin in December. You can truly almost set your…

A Psalm of Strength

Over the past many days you all have been joining me in lifting prayers for Emily Rea. She is the niece of a friend of mine who has been missing for almost a week. The community of prayer that has formed all over the country is amazing. The gofundme page set up to help feed…
