Walking with God

Today’s “Minute-less Monday” is simply a video of observing God’s great love through the waves from the Gulf of Mexico. I pray that you will be still and know.  I pray that you will rest in His love and peace.  I pray that you will allow God’s love and peace crash...

What a blessing! This Sunday morning, Cole, Tim, and I were rested and ready for our first full day of Spring Break in the Panhandle. I’ve always heard about the stunning, sugary, white beaches here, yet…this Florida girl had never been! I bet I know why…God had a...

We are healed by His wounds. Praise the Lord! Checkout this video-blog I posted to the Soaking Up The Son Facebook page. If you are on Facebook, I hope you'll like AND share the SUTS page with your friends. I often post video and pics directly to FB instead of...

Y’all, God is preparing you for greatness! Follow His plan for your life. No, it won’t be smooth sailing, but in the end…GLORY.  To God be all the glory, through it all. I want to encourage you to hold on to His true word and seek His face daily. For I know the plans...

It’s that time of year again… The Florida Strawberry Festival ! My town gets bombarded with visitors from all over the world.  Yes, the world! To me, this isn’t just a festival to honor our community’s honored fruit.  It is so much more. It’s about tradition.  I’ve...

"Minute-less Monday" (well....a little more than a minute) is below. Almost daily someone asks me, “Why are you limping?”  This usually occurs after I’ve been sitting down for a while, or even a short spell.  But, once I get moving, and keep moving, I’m good.  I could...

In 1985, I remember standing on the steps of the church, holding hands with Tim.  We were high school sweethearts at the time. In 1991, Tim and I were married, and were arm and arm as bride and groom on those same steps. Many fond memories occurred at the First...

This weekend my husband and our two boys (we missed Holly) stayed two nights at the beach. Tim and I awakened early Saturday morning and went for a beach walk. When we returned, we saw our eldest son, Hunter, fishing from the shore.  I pulled up a chair, shuffled my...

Beach Walk Lessons: Get ready... "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  Romans 3:23 So what happens next... Jesus doesn't just wash away some of our sin... "We should live in the light, where God is.  If we live in the light, we have fellowship with...

It seems that we are constantly being reminded that life is short. “Our life is like a puff of air.  It is like a passing shadow.”  Psalm 144:4 With the horrific school shooting in Dade County this week, my heart aches for all involved.  Then, this morning, I woke to...

Over the past couple years, I continue to observe these Sandhill Cranes near our home.  You always see them in pairs.  They have their babies, and the family unit sticks close together.  These birds are loud in their calling, alert and protective when you are near,...
