Kate said Practice I love when I get to share about my most favorite school teacher of all time… Mrs. Mayfield, Highland Elementary School Fourth Grade, Lake Worth Florida. She was a clever, creative, kind, and perky lady. And, I was her favorite. Or, at least one of them!!! Practice does not make perfect. Perfect… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Opportunity
Kate said opportunity. I’ve had many over the years and even through a season of rebellion, due to hurt and a broken heart, I have grown and learned from the opportunities (I know) God presented to me. When my husband of 12 years announced he was having an affair back in 1978 I was devastated… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday – Touch
Kate said touch The power of touch. We have seen videos where a fussy, preemie baby is lying in a bassinet all alone and then someone puts their finger in the wee hole to touch that sweetness and baby responds with a peaceful pose. Or, remember years ago the photo that circulated of the doctor… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: REWARD
Kate said REWARD! At first glance I was not thrilled with today’s word. Reward. Sounds self-serving and manipulative to me. If you do this, this, and this then you will get a reward. That is okay if you’re training a dog but humans? Not.So.Much. Reward has 23 listings in the concordance at the back of… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: PLACE
Kate said PLACE. Kate chose the word to support her friend Christie Purifoy’s new book, PLACEmaker; I am glad she did that because the book is excellent. It is good and pleasant — sharing about home and friendship and hospitality and PLACE! We moved from our home of thirty years in June 2018 – the… [Read More]
