Five Minute Friday: Care

September 24, 2021 by admin 20 Comments

Kate said care. When I was a little girl we attended Grace Bible Chapel, a Brethren Assembly Fellowship, Exclusive… don’t ask. Once a month the Sunday evening service included hymn requests – now, back then we sang from hymn books [Hymns of Grace and Truth] and my favorite hymn was page 100. If the leader… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday – Rescue

September 10, 2021 by admin 10 Comments

Kate said rescue. I love the word RESCUE. And, I venture to say it is because I was gloriously rescued a long time ago. The entire Bible has a theme of rescue. One can go back through the Old Testament stories of rescue. Adam and Eve. Noah. Moses. Abraham. Joseph. Rahab. Esther. Ruth. Etcetera. New… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Teach

August 27, 2021 by admin 1 Comment

Kate said teach. Friday, August 20th, 2021. As I always do on Friday mornings I checked in on Five Minute Friday and the word prompt of the week. As it turned out TEACH was more appropriate than I gave it credit. I felt horrible. I could hardly breathe and my body was swollen like a… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Accountability

August 13, 2021 by admin 9 Comments

Kate said accountability. Accountability is a vital practice to have in place. I’d like to tell you about my accountability partner – One I’ve had since 1992. My Accountability Partner Some of you will roll your eyes. Or, make a smirk with your lips. Perhaps, shake your heads and say she’s crazy! But, if you are… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: From

August 6, 2021 by admin 14 Comments

Kate said from. My well continues to be dry but I offer my all-time favorite joke! Ready? Here goes Tommy runs in from playing, “Mom, Mom where am I from?”  Mom thinks oh boy here we go – birds and bees on a play day. She sits Tommy down and explains everything to him. Exactly… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Order

July 23, 2021 by admin 14 Comments

Kate said order. I like order. I loathe chaos. When I sense there is no order to something I’m involved in or that is happening around me – I tend to recluse and quiet the chaos. A lot of people take that as rude or unsocial – but for me, it is the best way… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Strong

July 16, 2021 by admin 17 Comments

Kate said strong. My first-born son was asked in an 11th Grade class, “Who is the strongest person you’ve ever met?” His answer was simply two words, “My mom.” I was floored when he told me that. Floored, and flattered! My first two kids went through the hard with me. The separation and the divorce…. [Read More]

Vision Every gardener, every writer, has a vision. Vision
Every gardener, every writer, has a vision. In gardening we envision fresh salads, delicious el dante French green beans, and juicy tomato sandwiches. 🍅 As a writer my vision is legacy. My story is one of peaks and valleys, potholes and narrow paths. There are chapters of shame and there are chapters of victory. God has used every single jot and tittle for my good and His glory. See that stack of books on the shelf? That's VISION. That's LEGACY.

Commitment Gardening takes commitment.. if you're Commitment 
Gardening takes commitment.. if you're not in it to win it there's no sense in starting.  Writing takes the same commitment. Currently, I have a partially completed work in progress. It's called "my brother is a saint." Right now I'm in a season of 'dry' but I'm still committed. See the first picture? It is a photo of Civil War dated garlic. 32 years ago hubs dug up 5 cloves in a field in Harpersville Alabama known for its Civil War / slavery roots. He carefully propagated it and has shared bulbs with many gardeners. That is commitment. My work in progress will get completed - I am committed.

Routine Writing, like gardening, requires routine. Routine
Writing, like gardening, requires routine. Every morning Farmer Hubster walks around the garden pruning, dead-heading,  tying, and all the things it takes to have an abundant harvest. Writing requires time spent in reading, research, and WRITING. A popular author once said, "if you want to be a writer then you must write something every day." I attempt to do that. I like the routine of writing ✍️. #hopewriterlife
