Kate said Promise Last week Kate said practice, this week promise – I am wondering if a “pr” trend is starting – perhaps next week it will be presence! We shall see. Five minutes Promise is a huge word, isn’t it? I rarely promise unless I know that I know I can keep it. One… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday – PRACTICE
Kate said Practice I love when I get to share about my most favorite school teacher of all time… Mrs. Mayfield, Highland Elementary School Fourth Grade, Lake Worth Florida. She was a clever, creative, kind, and perky lady. And, I was her favorite. Or, at least one of them!!! Practice does not make perfect. Perfect… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: OFFER
Kate said offer. First thought? You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. Remember, I’m older than you and think of all the old-time sayings. I grew up hearing these things and one’s internal computer keeps them filed for times like these. Offer Jesus offered Sam the Living Water at… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: Measure
Kate said MEASURE I’ve heard people say that God isn’t into numbers – and I think when it comes to church size, and church signs, that statement is true. However, God sure used some precise measurements in His Word. Let’s take a look at a few The first I can think of is the ark…. [Read More]
