Kate said disagree. Did you just hear the air release? From the can of worms? Yup, Kate has been feisty lately with some of these word prompts! But I certainly don’t disagree with the level of challenge she’s been presenting us each and every Thursday night. You see she gives the prompt about 9:45 p.m…. [Read More]

Five Minute Friday – Recover
Kate said recover. We’re all recovering from something. Amen? Some days I feel like I’m still recovering from two big moves in two years. One from our home of 30 years in 2018 into a flat and then from the flat to a tiny house of 399 square feet in early 2020. Long recovery time… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: Once
Kate said once. So here’s where I instantly “went:” Once and for all Once upon a time Oncett..(we lived in the mountains of NC for 30 years and the old mountain preachers used to say “Oncett…….” (this is not spoken as on-cet but as one syllable with a t at the end oncetttt. This is… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday – Church
Kate said church If Covid19 taught me anything, it taught me that church is not a brick and mortar structure. It’s flesh, bone, and spirit. One can “have” church in their living room, their front porch, their back deck, or standing outside with neighbors. Church is people, in one accord, praising and worshiping the One… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday – Young
Kate said young! Young! I am not that anymore. At heart, perhaps; but, definitely not physically. I will be 70 years old in October and I can hardly even believe or accept that – but there it is! Born in 1950…you do the math! One of my favorite, encouragements from God’s Word is this scripture… [Read More]
