Last Day of Christmas Vacation

Yes, today is the last day of Christmas vacation; honestly, I’m bummed. While I’ve worked some over the holiday I have enjoyed the more laid-back feeling. As we’re out and about, people are “jolly”, kids are playing, and everyone seems more at ease. Tomorrow we’re back to work, and later this week most kids are…

A friend sent to me this meme Christmas day and I’ve seen it a few times since then on social media, “Don’t be afraid to try something new..Remember..Amateurs built the Ark..Professionals built the Titanic”. Wow, I’d say that is pretty profound and sooooo true! It’s funny isn’t it, how so many of us are afraid…

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 instance, it’s not uncommon here in our community to literally watch someone just drive right through a four-way stop, I mean…

For Those Who Need It

Over the past few weeks, there have been many friends who have needed prayers. A health issue, a loved one in the hospital, a new job, a death in the family, a diagnosis of a disease, are just some of the trials these friends are going through. Each morning and evening, these names fill my…

Almost Home

There are mornings when I start this little blog and a song hangs in my head. This would be one of those mornings. This song, again one of my favorites speaks to so much of what we’re going through in this life. It gives a simple message that we truly aren’t here that long, and…
