I may or may not have created a Spotify Birthday playlist for myself and decided to add a workout to go with it, hence here we are. 😆 Your new age equals the number of reps you will be doing (Godspeed and apologies to those over 40). As you count each rep, take a trip… Continue reading Birthday Workout
As I sit here in mid-February (almost my birthday – woohoo!) and look out at the snow, I am reminded of how blessed I am to live in an area with four seasons. It may be strange to think of seasonal blessings during the cold, dark depths of winter, but in truth, there is no… Continue reading Seasonal Blessings
I know we’re only 3 days into 2021, but I had to get on here and document the near perfection (in the Ohio sports world) that has happened this year before something comes along and ruins it. Plus, I have a terrible case of the Sunday scaries after being off work for almost 2 weeks,… Continue reading You’re doing great, 2021.
Like many others on this New Year’s Eve, I am taking time to reflect on this wild ride of a year while hoping & praying for better days ahead in 2021. While this has certainly been a record-breaking year of negative news, tonight I am giving thanks for the positives of 2020: Celebrated my nephew… Continue reading 2020 Blessings

Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁 Giving thanks in the year 2020 may be easier said than done, but there is always, always something to be thankful for. Need ideas? The classic hymn, For the Beauty of the Earth, has you covered. Thank you, God, for all of these wonderful things and so much more: Beauty of the… Continue reading For the Beauty of the Earth
As we celebrate Christ the King Sunday, a door is closed on another church calendar year. Farewell, Year A. The feast of Christ the King is especially relevant this year – it is a good reminder that no matter who is President, Jesus is King. I thought I would share the qualities of what makes… Continue reading Christ the King Sunday
YAY – it’s spooky season! I love all things Halloween, so OF COURSE I had to create this workout. Check out my full Halloween playlist on Spotify here. Happy exercising!
The Old Testament reading this past Sunday was from the book of Jonah, and I had to pinch myself from laughing out loud in church. From Jonah and his antics to Jesus calling out the disciples to ridiculous verses from Proverbs, humor is one thing that the Bible does not lack. I started a notebook… Continue reading Humor in the Bible
After Peter asks Jesus how often he should forgive a member of the church who sins against him, Jesus replies “not seven times, but seventy-seven times” and proceeds to tell the parable of the unmerciful servant. This was the Gospel lesson for this morning’s service and one that I have heard many times, but I… Continue reading Forgiveness
