Kate said endure This six-letter word was dropped into my soul (probably) 15 years ago. Holy Spirit-dropped. When The Lord speaks to me like He did back then, I listen with both my physical ears and my spiritual ears. Fifteen years ago, 2005, was a relatively “good” year for me. I had just self-published my… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: People
Kate said people What I want to write I won’t write so I’m moving my fingers across the keyboard and thinking all the while of what I ‘should’ write. People People, People who need people, Are the luckiest people in the world We’re children, needing other children And yet letting a grown-up pride Hide all… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: Compromise
Kate said compromise Compromise can be the key to marital bliss! Or, it can be the selling of your soul. Let me explain. In 1985-6 my husband and I decided we were going to move to the panhandle of Idaho – we bought 25 acres of raw land – it was perfect. He began building… [Read More]

You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday – BORN
Kate said born I have zero idea where this will go. Five minutes. Born I wonder how many babies have been born during C19. I wonder even more how many were unborn, due to abortion? Isn’t it odd that churches closed but heaven forbid the Planned Parenthood clinics did not. My neighbor works for an… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday – Forward
Kate said forward With last week’s word being “normal” – and nothing is, what is there to look forward to? Webster’s says forward is… In the direction one is facing or traveling; toward the front. I am a forward-thinker but I am not a political progressive; in fact, I am extremely conservative – I’m just… [Read More]
