Five Minute Friday: COMFORT

July 14, 2017 by admin 20 Comments

Last night I dropped in on Kate Motaung and the Five Minute Friday Twitter party to say hello. I didn’t stay but a moment – by scanning the screen I could see that Kate was traveling as well as several others. There were a few new names, although I didn’t stick around to introduce myself…. [Read More]

Wanna Sow Some Good Seed?

July 5, 2017 by admin 12 Comments

I’ve been acquainted with this smiling face for almost twenty years. Erik Haviland, a friend of my “other son” Lane’s, was on my prayer list for months. A super talented, creative guy had everything going for him except one really important (said loosely) ‘thing.’ He didn’t have Jesus. So, Lane, and a group of pray-ers… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Blessing

June 30, 2017 by admin 24 Comments

No Five Minute Friday party for me last night but I did dream about Kate Motaung and Kristin Hill Taylor — and we were actually discussing FMF – does that count? We were talking about bringing something back and Kristin and I looked at Kate and at the same exact time we said, “Return.” But,… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Steady

June 23, 2017 by admin 36 Comments

No Twitter, no party, nothing but sleep for me last night and early! Before it was even dark:thirty. BUT, in the early hours of morning, before the sun broke through the clouds I had a dream. And, I dreamed about Tara and Anita and some of the nurses at Nonnatus House (Call the Midwife) and… [Read More]

Why I Write

June 14, 2017 by admin 46 Comments

I’ve been thinking about this question a lot. Why do I write? Last week I decided to create a Facebook Author page – I just (self-) published my tenth book and thought perhaps it was time to have a page dedicated to my writing. I’ve even done a bit of promoting to the tune of $15.00!!!… [Read More]

Quietude: June 11th 2017

June 11, 2017 by admin 11 Comments

I took this photo years ago on a hike on the App Trail in the Grayson Highlands Park. The root system fascinated me then and still does today. There was no water near this path – is that why the roots of the huge tree stretch across the ground? Shallow Roots vs Deep Roots Water… [Read More]

Quietude: June 4 2017

June 4, 2017 by admin 5 Comments

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners,     or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. But… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: FUTURE

June 2, 2017 by admin 14 Comments

Yes, Kate Motaung, I was at the FMF Twitter Party. I knew you saw me although I did my best to remain invisible! But at 9:18 p.m. I realized my eyes were closing and my Kindle was falling. I was long gone into REM sleep at 9:45 when you said… 00:00 The future. What does… [Read More]
