Feeling Empty?  Well, you’re not!

Feeling Empty? Well, you’re not!

I had been away for a few days and wanted to walk out to the pond to see how the fish were thriving. When I stopped on the edge of the bank, the small brim scurried over to where I was hovering over and frantically swam back and forth. They knew momma Shuff was going...
What Matters Most

What Matters Most

“What Matters Most”.  This was the theme of our summer regional with my husband’s company Edward Jones Investments.  When I heard the theme, I knew what my answer was.   You see, summer regional is the time when financial advisors and their families gather to...

I began and ended my daylight hours on the beach.  This morning included a vigorous walk with tennis shoes.  This evening consisted of a beach chair and the sand between my toes.  On both occasions God was speaking to me. I’m sitting here now (8:30pm), admiring God’s...

Tim recently went to The Middle Grounds, 100 miles off the west coast of Florida, with a group of friends to catch some gag grouper. They left the dock around 3:15 in the wee hours of the morning. The sky was unilluminated due to the phase of the New Moon. When he was...
Has it really been six years?

Has it really been six years?

Hi, Jany.  Six years ago today you stopped walking the sandy beach on Little Gasparilla island and your beautiful Kentucky woods with me, and started walking the streets of gold with Jesus.  Okay, He’s a better deal, I get it, but I sure miss you. Yesterday, while...
