October 1, 2021 by admin 51 Comments

The Desire For Discernment

April 20, 2021 by admin 16 Comments

Desiring Discernment My daughter advised me this past weekend that I needed to keep my mouth quiet about the Vaccine. She said it was too sensitive of an issue to speak publicly about. So, if anything I’ve said or posted has offended anyone please forgive me. I’ve made my stand on the whole Covid and… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: DARKNESS

Kate said 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]

Light

Light Sunday’s message was titled, “Light It Up.” I’ve been thinking about it as I always do, for days afterward. During the message the Pastor asked everyone to stay in their seats and not move around, then, he asked the production people to turn off all the lights in the sanctuary. For a brief moment… [Read More]

Quietude: Lent Continues

Then Jesus said to them, A little while longer the light is with you.Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke,… [Read More]

Vision Every gardener, every writer, has a vision. Vision
Every gardener, every writer, has a vision. In gardening we envision fresh salads, delicious el dante French green beans, and juicy tomato sandwiches. 🍅 As a writer my vision is legacy. My story is one of peaks and valleys, potholes and narrow paths. There are chapters of shame and there are chapters of victory. God has used every single jot and tittle for my good and His glory. See that stack of books on the shelf? That's VISION. That's LEGACY.

Commitment Gardening takes commitment.. if you're Commitment 
Gardening takes commitment.. if you're not in it to win it there's no sense in starting.  Writing takes the same commitment. Currently, I have a partially completed work in progress. It's called "my brother is a saint." Right now I'm in a season of 'dry' but I'm still committed. See the first picture? It is a photo of Civil War dated garlic. 32 years ago hubs dug up 5 cloves in a field in Harpersville Alabama known for its Civil War / slavery roots. He carefully propagated it and has shared bulbs with many gardeners. That is commitment. My work in progress will get completed - I am committed.

Routine Writing, like gardening, requires routine. Routine
Writing, like gardening, requires routine. Every morning Farmer Hubster walks around the garden pruning, dead-heading,  tying, and all the things it takes to have an abundant harvest. Writing requires time spent in reading, research, and WRITING. A popular author once said, "if you want to be a writer then you must write something every day." I attempt to do that. I like the routine of writing ✍️. #hopewriterlife
