Also, some of our congregation members work for the power company and have been dispatched to help restore power in that area.  We’re thinking of them and praying for their safety as they do this difficult work.

Fall has come to Florida.  Well, at least for this weekend.  Mid-to-low 60s in the morning.  Low 80s during the day.  It’s going to be a nice break from the 90s.

This time of year also provides us with all things pumpkin.  Lattes.  Shakes.  Pancakes.  Today is also National Pancake Day.  So, enjoy the nice weather along with your Fall favorites. Continue reading →

Today is National Happiness Day, so says the National Calendar of unusual and little-known holidays.  The calendar also says it’s National Whataburger Day.  No doubt the two “holidays” go together.  Anyway, in its honor, here’s an extra post from the past about Choosing Happiness with a real-life example from a friend of mine from bygone days.  So, to help you celebrate today, click this 2013 post, Happiness is a Choice.
