Five Minute Friday – Young
Kate said young! Young! I am not that anymore. At heart, perhaps; but, definitely not physically. I will be 70 years old in October and I can hardly even believe or accept that – but there it is!

Five Minute Friday: HOW
Kate said How? How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52.7 “How” is a basic adverb. Kind of a bland word – one we say at least 99 times… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: Stay

You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come… [Read More]
