Whew! Have I been busy this Saturday morning! I've written the devotions for next week and have chosen the scriptures for the next week's devotions. I've chosen the hymns for the next 3 Sundays and have started looking at Lent! Have I mentioned that I'm a pastor at two small churches about 30 minutes from... Continue Reading →
Time
I tried something a new today. I have a lot I need to get done but I'm always way too easily distracted lately. So, today, I set a timer. I have 30 minutes to do... whatever or 10 minutes depending on the activity. I've made myself push through and just work until the timer went... Continue Reading →
Brrr… What I do on a cold day…
How are you fairing this cold snap that is making its way across the US? I'm staying inside, nice and warm. I've got a nice fire going in the fireplace and I've had my hot cocoa and I just may have another. I've been trying to get some things done but I'm not being very... Continue Reading →
Starting on my list
So the other day I listed some things I wanted to do more of and one was writing. I even said maybe I'd try my hand at poetry. Now, I am definitely not a poet but it was fun to try to just pen a few words together to mean a little something... at least... Continue Reading →
Happy Empty Nesters?
Yesterday was such a lovely day. Both DH and I had tons of work to do. Usually, we go our separate ways to do our work. He goes upstairs to his work area and I go downstairs but yesterday, we decided to sit together to do our work separately. It made for a lovely day... Continue Reading →

Silence
Oh my, I have been silent on here for way too long. I guess I just got busy. This empty nest thing has been okay. Oh, I miss my kiddos every day but I'm surviving and even thriving. We had a wonderful holiday season. It went by much too quickly. We all gathered about an... Continue Reading →
Finding a new normal
Well, I've been away from the blog for a bit. I just haven't felt much like writing. I've been keeping busy with sermon writing and worship planning and when I'm done, I have no desire to write. I've been in a weird place but I'm feeling better. A huge interest of mine is alternative medicine.... Continue Reading →
So this empty nest isn’t always a bed of roses…
Well this was our first full week as Empty nesters. I'm not going to lie. It was a rough week. I was super busy with church and some days were just exhausting. I'm only part-time and it's hard to fit all the visiting and sermon prep and paperwork and meetings in those short days.... especially... Continue Reading →
Now for the firsts…
When I started this blog a few weeks ago, I was all about the lasts but now... it's all about the firsts! This was our first weekend as Empty Nesters. It was a quiet weekend recuperating from the big move of our DD, but I think we both enjoyed it. I already blogged about Saturday... Continue Reading →
