It’s 5 minute Friday again. So I’m late to the party. Better late than never. On Fridays, a bunch of writer friends around the world link up and exercise their writing skills in the form of a five minute post. No re-runs. No do-overs. Just plain ol’ spelling it out…
I’m a crazy fool reader. Shamelessly addicted to books. It seems that reading is as ingrained in my genetic makeup as my giraffe neck. A little more advantageous than the neck though. I remember in college, one of my dates brought along a book he thought I might enjoy.  Poor…
Lately when I’ve looked in the mirror, I’ve been a bit more critical. Â Perhaps because that magical age of ….(you thought I’d actually tell you?!) is arriving very soon. Â The creases and wrinkles seem to be more prominent. Â I watched myself on video today and the lighting wasn’t exactly flattering….
Do you ever think to yourself Is that really what God wanted me to do? Because I so desperately want to follow God’s plan for my life that I get a little… anxious about it. Sounds crazy, perhaps. I mean, doesn’t worrying about whether or not God wants you to…
Ok, that title is not EXACTLY true, because I have as many favorite Bible verses as my 3 year old has favorite dresses. Which is essentially every dress in her closet. 😉 But, I do have a favorite for today;this one seems to be my turn-to verse. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust…
The clover flower stood in the middle of the entire bed. Â No more important than the ones next to it, the purple seemed to be magnified against the sea of green surrounding it. In the middle of dividing players into teams and demonstrating how to dribble a soccer ball, one…
Hey Friends! This gift from my friends at What’s In The Bible? is so fabulous that I had to share it with you. Father’s Day is this Sunday; can you believe it? This link from What’s In The Bible? will get you some great dad stuff at their place! Including:…
Every Friday a bunch of us writer chics link up together at the Gypsy Mama’s place for a five minute writing challenge. Â No takebacks, just blurting it all out. Â This week’s word is “expectation.” And Here. We. Go. Beginning with a story of promise, God declares Abraham to produce unending…
Today I am privileged to post at RooMag, Candace Cameron Bure’s emagazine. Pretty cool, isn’t it? Here is an excerpt to get your mind muscles moving. Would love it if you’d click on the link and finish reading over there: “Celebrating the gift of life takes forethought and planning. Baby showers……
The glory of the moon, full and bright, bids me look upon its beauty. Through the window, the mysterious glow beckons my eyes to be still and gaze at the creation appointed to rule the night. Darkness gives birth to fullness of wonder at God’s mysterious formation of hazy, gleaming…
Today I have the privilege of writing at Mary DeMuth’s beautiful blog. Â You do know her, right? Because she is such an incredible writer, talented in various writing styles and gifted in wonderful ways. Â As the well-published author of at least 13 books I’m aware of, the opportunity to write…
I love writing any day of the week, but Fridays are especially fun. My writing cohort, The Gypsy Mama, throws out a word and then our fingers feast for five minutes typing out whatever comes in our heads. This week’s word: see. And here we go: At times, life seems…
