Every Day is a New Day

I’m wrapping up what has been a wonderful few days with the seniors golf group I work with. At dinner last night it was fun to watch as people continued to be curious and learn more about each other. They learned about careers, families, and hobbies, (other than golf of course), and found connections to…

When God Has Other Plans

Last week, a friend of mine got terrible news about her mother-in-law. She had a stroke and the outlook was not good. We all watched for updates as she was in ICU and unresponsive. The news the doctors gave was she probably would not recover. If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you dread those words, the admission that the doctors…

Foundations

Last Friday I was at the gym for my usual morning class. I really like the instructor on Fridays. He makes a point of going around the room through the entire class, encouraging, correcting, adjusting, and suggesting ways to improve the techniques we are learning. Most of the people in my 6:00 a.m. class are…

Hearing or Listening

Lately, I’ve been praying about some things that I truly have no control over. Isn’t that when challenges seem the greatest when we have no control over them? We want to just fix things, we want to just make things better, but at the end of the day, we really do have to just give…

Father in the Midst

Yesterday was a very full and busy day, and you know what, Father was in the midst of all of it. A few days ago I mentioned a parishioner who I spent time with while she was planning her husband’s memorial service. Well, yesterday we held that service and it was simply beautiful. The memories…

Eclipse

Well, in case you weren’t aware, today we’ll experience a rare full solar eclipse. Depending on where you are there could be over four minutes, (weather.com says it could be as long as 7.5 minutes), of darkness during the daytime. Unfortunately like so many things in this world, even the solar eclipse has created ugliness…

Numbers

Each morning when I come to this little blog, the page that I land on shows me the activity of these little posts. If you know anything about websites, social media, the techy stuff, you know that “likes”, “clicks” or “views” are where it’s at. Well, that is if you find that stuff important. The…

The Noise

Have you noticed the noise lately? All around us, there is noise, and I’m not just referring to sounds. The activities, distractions, and so many things that keep us from doing what needs to be done. This morning, I sat down to have my morning time with Father. My head was filled with so many…

In the Open

My husband and I have a practice of saying grace before we eat. It doesn’t matter if we’re grabbing something quick while driving, having holiday dinner, breakfast with friends, or just eating at the kitchen table at home, we say a little prayer. It’s just ingrained in us, it’s second nature and we just give…

Me to Thee

It’s been one of those mornings. You know, you wake up before the alarm, and your mind is already filled with things on your to-do list. I got up early, moved through my normal routine, sat down to write this little blog, and boom got totally distracted. Before I knew it, I’d gone down at…
