One – I was struck by lightning recently! Lightning in the sense that God can strike at moment’s notice, with no warning. One – it only takes one person to make a difference, and He reminded me of that again. With Jesus, was it important to Him to count the numbers of the followers He… Continue reading One

Acknowledge
My first real job out of high school spanned a period of 13 years. I think, especially these days, that’s a pretty good run. I was a secretary, holding a few different positions over those years, each one taking on more responsibility. For some reason, when Secretary’s Day came around, it was so important to… Continue reading Acknowledge
Courage
When I think about the word courage today, it was because I remembered reading an inspiring letter that was written by both a former client and someone I also consider to be a friend. He and his family had the courage to start a church from scratch. Looking from the outside in, I always admired… Continue reading Courage
Give
Give is an action word. To give to someone requires us to do something – to make an effort. What is our intention when we give? Is it to get something in return or make us feel less guilty about something we did or forgot to do? When we give of our time, how often… Continue reading Give

I remember my father loved to play games. Two of his favorites were backgammon and scrabble and I have very fond memories of those times.

Gratitude
Don’t panic! It’s not Thanksgiving yet. Funny how we think of gratitude and giving thanks mainly around the holidays. However, it truly should be a year-round practice, with gratitude always being in our thoughts and expressed to those around us. As a child, I remember participating in lots of scavenger hunts in school and birthday… Continue reading Gratitude
Rainbow
How many rainbows have you witnessed in your lifetime? I bet quite a few; and it never gets old does it? This time of the year, especially here in Florida, it’s hurricane season. Every year the predictions are plentiful, with the “experts” trying to estimate how many storms will get named, and everyone else praying… Continue reading Rainbow
Prayer
What does your prayer time look like? Do you have a special place or time of the day that you sit quietly with Jesus? I wonder if we did a survey, posing those same questions, if we wouldn’t be surprised by the results. I must admit that I have trouble with structured prayer. I admire… Continue reading Prayer
Carry
In the almost 49 years of marriage (officially September) my husband and I have called four different residences our home. With each move, we saw it as the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for us, while still holding onto the many fond memories of each that we still reminisce about today. In addition… Continue reading Carry
