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.

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…

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,…

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…

In This Together

Well, here we are, in the midst of the big bad boy Ian. It’s been a long night of waiting, listening, and peeking out windows, (not sure why, LOL you can’t see anything). But, over the past 12 hours, I’ve seen God at work. His children helping each other, working on generators, putting up storm…

A Simple Psalm

Happy Monday everyone. Today’s little blog is short and sweet. It’s going to be a busy week around here, Ian is still not sure where he wants to go and is shifting some as of 11pm last night. As I read this Psalm this morning I thought it quite appropriate for the week ahead. As…
