Kate said Talent As a faith writer, the very first thing that came to my mind was Jesus’ parable of The Talents. Are you familiar? You can read about it here. One synonym for the word talent is gift. A talent is a gift. And, who gives perfect gifts? The Father of Lights! Every good and every… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: LIFE
Kate said LIFE The very first thought this morning when I saw the prompt? Life is God and God is Good. Amen? Seasons Life is full of them. Some are better than others. At the moment my husband and I are in a good season BUT there are people in my immediate family who are… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: RELIEF
Kate said RELIEF First thing? Plop. Plop. Fizz. Fizz. O! What a relief it is. An old Alka-Seltzer commercial! Relief We are on a road trip, towing Gracee, our Casita Travel Trailer, and we have had one challenge after another.

Five Minute Friday: DARKNESS
Kate said DARKNESS It’s a coincidence that Kate said darkness for the FMF word prompt. This past week on the main page of my blog I wrote about LIGHT! Several years ago I created a brochure on the darkness – it was a helpful exercise in writing because of a very dark season our family… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: RUSH
Kate said RUSH Rushing is the one thing I did not want to do in this tiny house move. Rushing only brings negative results, in my humble opinion. I’ve also learned that rushing can be miles outside God’s good, acceptable, and perfect plan for our life. Slow and steady wins the race – unless you’re… [Read More]
