So Much to be Thankful For

We started out a few days ago to head north to visit our family for Christmas. Unlike most trips, we’ve planned it out to make several stops and not do the “all nighter” we might have done when we were younger. Well, yesterday we had a little setback, and let’s just say we stayed an…

Not Good Enough

Yesterday was one of those days. It actually started off really positively. I was knocking things off the to-do list, I worked out early, got some great news from a friend, (thanks for the prayers this week by the way), it was going swimmingly you might say. But as the day moved on, little things…

A Special Sunday Prayer

Lately it seems so many people I know are struggling with health issues or concerns. Recently a friend found out her father is suffering from an illness. They are waiting on test results but it’s scary. Another friend is recovering from chemo treatments and surgery from cancer, a neighbor has just been placed in hospice.…

Give it Back

If you’re like me, you’ve probably found yourself scratching your head some days. I don’t know about you but there are times when I just don’t understand what in the world is happening.

For Those Who Need It

Just Do

Over the past week we’ve been helping at our church as we continue to clean up and repair after Ian. There is a sign up sheet to log in when you arrive and when you leave and what tasks you are working on. Parishioners from all walks of life are coming together to sweep, powerwash,…

Recovery

Over the past few days, I’ve learned a lot about the different “phases” of a natural disaster. Since Ian hit our Sunshine state we’ve been in the Response phase, which includes implementing disaster response plans, conducting search and rescue missions, taking actions to protect yourself, your family, your animals, and others, and so on. During…

Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed be thy Name,thy kingdom come,thy will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive…

Ian

As I sit here on Thursday afternoon in my driveway for a bit I’m not even sure where to begin. First and foremost we are safe and ok. Our power is out, cell service is down connecting with the “outside world” is sketchy and much of our beautiful sunshine state is changed forever. Ian has…
