May 1, 2015 by admin 18 Comments

Magic happens today – the crowd of eager participants with computers at the ready began gathering last night for the #FMFPARTY on Twitter. At 10 p.m. Eastern time – and therein lies the problem for this morning person!!! I am in REM sleep by 10 o’clock so, as usual, I’m late to the writing madness but… [Read More]

  I’m reminded of the worship song “Pour Out My Heart” as I open another new post for Five Minute Friday over at Kate Motaung’s… ♫ Here I am once again ♫ I pour out my heart ♫ for I know that You hear ♫ every cry You are listening ♫ no matter what state… [Read More]

five minute friday: relief

April 10, 2015 by admin 17 Comments

The writers have converged over at Kate’s and created masterful essays on this week’s one-word prompt, which happens to be RELIEF. When I saw the word the very first thing that popped in this 60-something brain was… Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is! Many of you are too young to remember… [Read More]

March 21, 2014 by admin 2 Comments

Linking up with Lisa-Jo Baker today for five minutes of no-edit writing (I always go back and clean it up though!!!) And, as an aside, Lisa-Jo’s book “Surprised by Motherhood” goes on sale April 4th. I was privileged to preview three chapters of the book and found it to be “not your average Mommy book”…. [Read More]

Kate said green I am entering the room reciting a Kate said green

I am entering the room reciting a poem – one of my favorite reads when my children were small. Ready?

Green eggs and ham? I do not Like them, Sam-I-am. Could you, would you, With a goat? I would not, Could not. With a goat! Would you, could you, On a boat? I could not, would not, on a boat. I will not, will not, with a goat. I will not eat them in the rain. I will not eat them on a train. Not in the dark! Not in a tree! – Dr. Seuss

What a cynical world we live in. I will never stop quoting Dr. Seuss. And, if I ever have another grandchild? They will be read the wonderful lyrics of Dr. Seuss.

Green

I happen to like the color green – for me it represents life and growth. Green grass. Green trees. Green turtles. Each filled with life. I like green. It’s my cousin’s favorite color. Her family home was full of green!

Green Hope

And, I will end my five minute essay with “MY” verse. The HOPE verse that changed me. It’s from the Message translation…

Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope! Romans 15.13

What does green conjure up in you?
