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: Fix
Kate said fix Today, I come to confess. Dun Dun Dun Dun… I used to be a FIXER. Family problems? Not to worry I will manage, manipulate, and fix it. The only problem? It gets expensive and very stressful. Fixing is bad for your health. I have learned There is a Fixer better than myself…. [Read More]

I would say JESUS and my mouth turned upward. All the things that make us smile Seems lately social media is… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: Worth
Kate said worth Now, the VERY FIRST THING that popped into my head this morning, with only one-half cuppa coffee, is the song Is He Worthy? Worthy is definitely from the word worth – so it does work. Not sure where I’m going with this prompt and short essay – but let’s begin. WORTHy My husband… [Read More]
