Looking for reasons to be joyful, things to be thankful for
Your Energizers
How is your summer going? What do you like about it so far? One sizzling summer day at my old job in collections, I was on the phone asking a new client why she was unable to pay her car note. Her simple explanation was that the air conditioning had gone out in her apartment,…
In Their Honor
My first experience with a fallen hero was in third grade when Stephen, my pen pal serving in the Vietnam Conflict, stopped writing back. My years in Jacksonville, Florida were among some of my fondest memories, largely because of the military friends I made there. They taught me a lot about loyalty and comradery. Since…
Winter Night Reflections

Feeling the Heat
I hope your summer is going better than planned. With longer days, the workload has been ramping up here – but that isn’t a complaint. With extended hours of daylight, I’m inclined to go out and enjoy the company of others. Last week I overheard someone say that though it’s just now July, for them,…
How Do You Measure Your Gratitude?
Thanksgiving is months away, and in reality, one day isn’t enough to consider all the ways you’re blessed. Even though I intentionally live in a state of gratitude and thankfulness, so many things slip between the cracks. Most people can tick of the quick list of things to be grateful for: friends and family, our…
