Five Minute Friday: TALENT
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: 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. Yesterday, hubs and bro-in-law went to the movies and when they got into our truck,… [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]
Five Minute Friday: COST
Kate said COST Instantaneously, I know what I’m writing. This past summer, hubs and I took an epic road trip to Alaska. We towed our 17′ camper behind us and it was, hands down, the.best.trip.ever. It could have been the worst trip ever if we hadn’t… Counted the COST You see the trip had some… [Read More]
