Kate said LESS This is a no-brainer for me. We just moved into a Tiny House, 399 square feet of living space. We have done two major downsizings since spring of 2018. First, from a small farm and huge woodworking shop to a 1200 square foot downtown flat and now to 399 squares! Talk about… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Table
The Table I grew up in the Plymouth Brethren Church. We actually didn’t call it a church – we called it the “Assembly.” We didn’t have one pastor, we had men that served as teachers, preachers and the such. Women taught Sunday School. Our Grandpa was SS Superintendent, which gave my sister and I special… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: OTHER
Kate said, “OTHER.” My routine wasn’t followed because I fell asleep very early last night. As the sun sank below the western mountains, my eyelids followed.

Five Minute Friday: WORK!
My mind is hard-pressed on Irma and Florida – where loved ones abound. Watching the cone; mapping the coordinates. Praying non-stop. Never saying amen. Nothing is taking precedence over this prayer and watch vigil. I peeked into the FMF party and sent blessings and a request to pray – these are true friends and I… [Read More]
