Sacrifice.  That is today’s Five Minute Friday prompt – and one that takes my thoughts into many different directions.  I’m sure I could write much more than five minutes would allow; however, that somewhat defeats the goal of this weekly link-up.  Yes, I express my thoughts on a topic, but FMF is also a mental… Read More Considering My Why?

I have a fairly good sense of direction.  For the most part, if I have been somewhere once, I can get there again.  And, almost certainly, I can retrace my route and get myself home after I’ve traveled somewhere new.  This “little skill” has helped me numerous times and has not only given me confidence… Read More My Way…or His?

Hello Friday!  And time for another Five Minute Friday.  Today’s prompt is COST.  The amount paid to buy or obtain something.  Immediately I think of the cost Jesus willingly paid for my salvation – dying to cover the payment I owed for my sin.  And I would be remiss if I did not mention that… Read More Free To Be a Servant

“Lord, grow my faith.”  That is a prayer that has been on my heart lately.  Not exactly sure why it has been there repeatedly and so strongly, but I am convinced that examining our “growth” is a good exercise. One to be done regularly – just as carefully as parents assess the physical growth, and… Read More The Unknown Can Growth My Faith

Time for another Five Minute Friday – and today’s prompt is SETTLE.  One of the interesting (and fun) things about this weekly writing challenge is the different ways the prompt is discussed or elaborated on but also even the different ways the word is interpreted.  Settle can evoke images of making someone comfortable…or to quiet… Read More My Settled Account

Well, hello November!  I’m glad you are here:) October was a full month – always one of my favorites – but it seems like it has been October (or at least, pumpkin spice season) for a long time.  No doubt, one of the pitfalls of starting “seasons” weeks before they actually arrive.  But, I digress. … Read More Should This Be My Last Post?

Hello Friday!  And (finally) another chance to join the Five Minute Friday linkup.  I enjoy these short writing challenges from a one-word prompt.  You can read all the posts here….for today’s prompt of ACTION. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…”  Heb. 4:12a With my Bible, I… Read More God’s Word is Quick – Alive and Active

In my last post, I mentioned that there have been several unexpected deaths lately.  Some of those who died I knew better than others and some I only really knew of….but, either way, it has been a sobering few weeks.  Perhaps that is why today’s prompt, Success, quickly reminded me of Paul’s longing (in II… Read More One More Mile

This week’s Five Minute Friday prompt is start. The beginning of something…maybe even the date something began.  As in a marriage:)  My marriage began 34 years ago tomorrow.  Hard to believe – yet here are just five minutes worth of my thoughts. START – When I tell someone that I have been married for over… Read More Thirty-Four Years of Marriage
