Five Minute Friday – HELP!

October 9, 2020 by admin 26 Comments

Kate said HELP What a day of help! A couple of things. A doctor’s report. An image of a wrecked automobile my grandson was in last night – trapped, until his adrenaline kicked in and he kicked the door out. All four young men walked away. A miracle, the police officer said. Help We believe… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday – Breathe

October 2, 2020 by admin 22 Comments

Breathe

Kate said BREATHE I say the word, breathe, at least 7 times each day. When things get stressful or rushed…breathe. I say it to people too. In a text message when they are venting or ranting – both are welcomed to my ears. I’ve always said the only way to stay cool is VENT! Voskamp said… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday – Church

September 18, 2020 by admin 30 Comments

Church

Kate said church If Covid19 taught me anything, it taught me that church is not a brick and mortar structure. It’s flesh, bone, and spirit. One can “have” church in their living room, their front porch, their back deck, or standing outside with neighbors. Church is people, in one accord, praising and worshiping the One… [Read More]

COULD

Kate said could Weird word prompt, right? Shoulda – coulda – woulda How does one even write on “could”? I’m baffled. So, I’ll ramble. What could I have done? I remember a hundred years ago when my first husband dropped the bomb on me and our three children that he was having an affair and… [Read More]

MERCY

Kate said MERCY noun: compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16.34 Not to be confused with grace: The free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners… [Read More]

Kate said green I am entering the room reciting a Kate said green

I am entering the room reciting a poem – one of my favorite reads when my children were small. Ready?

Green eggs and ham? I do not Like them, Sam-I-am. Could you, would you, With a goat? I would not, Could not. With a goat! Would you, could you, On a boat? I could not, would not, on a boat. I will not, will not, with a goat. I will not eat them in the rain. I will not eat them on a train. Not in the dark! Not in a tree! – Dr. Seuss

What a cynical world we live in. I will never stop quoting Dr. Seuss. And, if I ever have another grandchild? They will be read the wonderful lyrics of Dr. Seuss.

Green

I happen to like the color green – for me it represents life and growth. Green grass. Green trees. Green turtles. Each filled with life. I like green. It’s my cousin’s favorite color. Her family home was full of green!

Green Hope

And, I will end my five minute essay with “MY” verse. The HOPE verse that changed me. It’s from the Message translation…

Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope! Romans 15.13

What does green conjure up in you?
