Kate said Sacrifice The first and foremost thought when I saw the word prompt was… Jesus’ redemptive work on Calvary. The Sacrifice of all sacrifices, amen? Do I sacrifice? Probably not very often, if I am honest with myself and you. Do any of us…really? Most of us live in the land of abundance and… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Direction
Kate said DIRECTION Good word for a new year. Direction. What direction should I go? I’ve asked myself that question already, as it applies to this new decade we are in, 2020. I know the things I want to accomplish this year and the list is rather ambitious; yet, I will just do the next… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: BIRTH
Kate said Birth Appropriate word for the final FMF prompt of 2019! I’ve given birth three times and all of my children were born healthy and screaming! Praise the Lord! I gave birth the first time when I was 18 years old plus six months; then at 20 plus six months; the last was born… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: COST
Kate said COST Instantaneously, I know what I’m writing. This past summer, hubs and I took an epic road trip to Alaska. We towed our 17′ camper behind us and it was, hands down, the.best.trip.ever. It could have been the worst trip ever if we hadn’t… Counted the COST You see the trip had some… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: UNKNOWN
Kate said UNKNOWN Nothing popped into my head this morning when I saw the word. Unknown conjures up (without looking at a dictionary): unfamiliar invisible without identity It was brought to my attention this week of a 23 yr old person who has no idea of who God is. God is unknown to this person…. [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: SETTLE
Kate said SETTLE I wasn’t going to. I had no plan to find today’s five minute Friday word prompt but there it was in my email in-box. Kate is efficient in her leadership! And, I saw the word, “SETTLE!” And, instantly thought – that’s it – that is what I’m feeling. unSETTLEd Then this: But… [Read More]
