If you’ve hung out here at Hope Heart Home very long you know I like the five minute Friday challenge of taking one word, writing on it for five minutes. It’s a challenge. And, who doesn’t like a good challenge? Some of you also know I have participated in another challenge, every October, since 2014… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: CROWD
Kate said, “CROWD.” Great word – love ’em or hate ’em? My friend Kitty draws energy from people. If she is alone too much? She feels lethargic and almost depressed. So, when that happens she goes out into public, not necessarily a big crowd but somewhere people are. Crowds deplete me. It’s as though someone… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: OTHER
Kate said, “OTHER.” My routine wasn’t followed because I fell asleep very early last night. As the sun sank below the western mountains, my eyelids followed.

Five Minute Friday: REGRET
Kate said… 00:00 HAVE ANY? REGRETS? Have any? Regrets, that is? I sure do! However, I refuse to hang out there. I use my regrets to remind me I never want to go back to my old life. I use my regrets to rejoice in the saving grace of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior…. [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: WHY
Kate said, or perhaps, asked… 00:00 WHY? The answer to the question, “Why?” In light of this week’s horrific events is… the same answer to Job’s display of grief in his OT book… We live in a fallen world. “Think it not strange these fiery trials….” (1 Peter 4) This living is not going to… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: PRIVILEGE
Kate said: I did drop in the party to check on a friend. 00:00 What even comes to mind when given the one word prompt of privilege. My first reaction was a term I see a lot on feeds. White privilege, but I am not going there. I am going to consider the things I’m… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: AGREE
Kate said … Agree? And, I must agree, AGREE is a great word to write five minutes on. 00:00 This post will probably be all over the place. I am big on commitment. IF I agree to do something – I can just about promise I WILL DO IT. Now, if sickness or God forbid… [Read More]
