A man of sorrows. And we did not care. Those are the words in Isaiah 53 that bring me great pause. Why is it we think of Jesus as our beautiful One? The Word tells us He was “nothing much to look at.” Easy on the eyes? No, not our Jesus. Then, why? Why does God… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: ENOUGH
Last night was one of those nights! 9 p.m. and I dropped in to the Twitter five minute friday party only to find our party had been crashed with twitter trash. I’ll spare the details. I didn’t stay because my eyelids were in rebellion to any form of light – so I deep dove under… [Read More]

The Five Minute Friday crew was in… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: ABANDON
The room was full last night at Kate’s Five Minute Friday party. One of our fellow writers, Amber, was back in Nepal after a stateside sabbatical and she entered the room with the sun rising in that part of the world and darkness had settled here on the eastern side of the states. That is… [Read More]
