Kate said, “RAIN.” Here in Statesville, NC, we need some. We lived in the mountains of northwest North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Appalachian Mountain Range – also known as the eastern Rain Forest, for thirty years. And, it rained all the time. We went days without seeing the sun and for… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: DONE!
I haven’t participated in Five Minute Friday in weeks – I haven’t even peeked into the Twitter party or the Facebook group page – we have been very, very busy moving. This morning I stalked Kate and saw that she said, “Done,” last night. NOW, this word I can relate to… Stick a fork in… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: SECRET
Kate said, “SECRET.” I love this photograph – look at the little girl’s eyes! She seems to be delighting in her mom’s secret. I wonder what Mom is telling her. Don’t tell your brother but we are going to have a special girl’s day today. Shhh. You cannot say a word. It’s a secret between… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: INCLUDE

Kate said, “STUCK.” 00:00 Most of you know the theme of my life since late 2002 has been HOPE. I’m stuck on it. Like glue. Are you stuck? In a rut? Out of luck? Can’t get out? No need to pout! I’ve got something for you – it’s invisible but it is ever so real…. [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: RELEASE
Kate said, “Release.” I followed my normal FMF routine but this word didn’t have the power of resonating with me. I have released a lot of things over the years. An unfaithful husband Children, as they fledged the nest Control over circumstances I had no control over (anyway) Habits An addiction or two Fear A… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: REGRET
Kate said… 00:00 HAVE ANY? REGRETS? Have any? Regrets, that is? I sure do! However, I refuse to hang out there. I use my regrets to remind me I never want to go back to my old life. I use my regrets to rejoice in the saving grace of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior…. [Read More]
