Being Productive

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...

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 →
