I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Third Sunday of Advent – Gaudete/Rejoice at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in #Chattanooga

The third candle of the Advent wreath represents Gaudete/Rejoice. May this be a time to rejoice in the season. Grace and peace to all.

Work On A Saturday

It’s rare when I am called on to work on a Saturday. Today was one of those days. The blood bank I work for services some of the areas impacted by the storms that came through the region on Saturday, December 11, 2021.

Trauma centers in the hardest-hit areas needed blood. My coworkers and I were called into action to get blood donors to blood drives and to our facilities. I know people who work every Saturday and I thank them for their demanding work on the weekends.

On Your Nerves

I’m not perfect and I probably get on some folks nerves. Everyone has their limits. I know I have mine. It’s also a matter of boundaries and that sort of thing. Life requires a peace that isn’t always easy to realize.
