Kate said lift. Readers of my words know it’s been a rough few weeks here in Upstate SC. When one is accustomed to good health and it is taken away there is great angst and suffering. There are lots of “come to Jesus” meetings and much crying out. So, when I saw Kate chose lift… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Disagree
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 – Beyond
Kate said beyond Usually, I peek at Kate’s word prompt on Friday morning – go into the kitchen to make coffee, etc. and let the word percolate. Most of the time a song or a scripture will come to mind and I can let that be my focus to write. But, today, nothing really came… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday – Breathe
Kate said BREATHE I say the word, breathe, at least 7 times each day. When things get stressful or rushed…breathe. I say it to people too. In a text message when they are venting or ranting – both are welcomed to my ears. I’ve always said the only way to stay cool is VENT! Voskamp said… [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]
