Service
When I got the job at the church that I worked for, I was introduced to the maintenance man. I quickly learned that he was much more than that. He and his crew took care of everything needed on the property – inside and out, scheduled all the facilities, and made sure everything was ready […]
Hoping For Pilgrimage
Some friends and I have talked about doing a pilgrimage of the Camino Portuguese. The Camino de Santiago is the most popular Christian pilgrimage in the world today. We have been considering the route that goes through Portugal. St. James travelled the route as he preached Christ’s lessons of unconditional love and forgiveness. It is […]
My Friends Are Here
A couple months ago, some friends of mine said they would like to visit. I was elated and started thinking about setting up a room for them and what fun things we could do. I enjoyed getting things cleaned up and organized as the time for their visit got closer. Today was the day. When […]
Worry and Release
The over 50 group that I joined at the church hosted a scamming awareness event that I attended today. A police investigator came and spoke to the group about some of the most common scams and ways to avoid them. It was very informative and somewhat alarming. The statistics show that in 2024, people over […]
Wisdom from Pope Francis
Today is the anniversary of the death of Pope Francis. I came across this timely, beautiful quote, “We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it. We have had enough of immorality and the […]
Finished Work
Today was the last day at my job working for the CPA. I enjoyed what I did, though it was more than I anticipated with longer days and a huge learning curve. But when all was said and done, I did learn the computer system, the filing system, and how to best work with my […]
Tad Off Perfect
I listened to the reflection on Hallow today by Jeff Cavins. He told a story about a conversation he had with a gentleman comparing the sound of today’s music with that of the 1970’s. The music now has so much technological influence, it can be created with no flaws. The description that he used for […]
The Little Apple Tree
Tonight I am sharing a beautiful post from my daughter in law’s sister that really touched my heart: This little apple tree started from a single seed. One I found inside the last apple my Mom had in her fridge after she passed. At the time, I didn’t know if anything would come from planting […]
Sweet Support
Today I witnessed 3 specific incidents of people supporting others. Yesterday, I received a text from the group chat of the people I used to work with. A couple is expecting a baby. The mama had to have surgery due to problems with her cervix. Everyone in the group sent prayers and encouragement. Today we […]
Free Yardwork
I do occasionally waste time scrolling through Facebook videos and such. One set of videos that I have enjoyed is of a young man who has his own lawn care company and does work for free for people who are in need. He takes on yards that are extremely overgrown for one reason or another. […]
