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: LOYAL (again)
Kate said ‘loyal’ again – she handed us this word prompt on August 26, 2016 – almost two years ago to the day! I find that rather interesting. I wrote about it here. Everything in that post remains except our beloved loyal furry friend Sam. He went to heaven one month ago, suddenly, on July… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: LOVED
LOVED This week was a lesson in *thinking* of being UNloved. One of the worst feelings in the whole wide world. UN loved = U not loved Awful. I hate when “feelings” get in the way of truth. Truth trumps feelings.every.single.day.every.single.time. God’s Word tells us that Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear. Where does the… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: WOMAN
Just yesterday morning this word was spoken out of my mouth in positive fashion. Hubs didn’t walk with me so I did an in-town 30 minute brisk walk. Now that we live downtown, in a second floor flat, I walk with a lanyard-type necklace with our key attached, the car key is on there too…. [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: anniversary
Kate said, “Anniversary.” Seems a strange word to write a five-minute essay on, doesn’t it? Unless you’re having one. anniversary, that is. There are anniversaries of all sorts of things. Happy things. Sad things. Silly things. Spiritual things. I remember dates. Therefore, I have a lot of “anniversaries” floating in my internal computer. Even a… [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, “Include.” This morning I woke up, got coffee, came upstairs to do my FMF post. When I saw the word “include” I thought to myself this may be hard. I went over to Unsplash because I get inspiration from the photos and I searched the word “alone.” Isn’t it odd that alone is the word I… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: STUCK
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]
