Normal
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
What joy I am finding in my weekends. The rhythm of work with the respite of some time off; being at home. It brings a bit normalcy to my soul during this abnormal time. But, what is "normal'? Webster defines it as "conforming to a standard or regular pattern."

Distraction
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
As I was pondering this week's prompt, "distraction", I was only thinking of the negative side. As in when I think of something I need to do during my prayer time. I get distracted from focusing on Jesus.

My Trust is In His Hand

A place where grace is shared . . .

Risk
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
As I was having my time in the Word the other morning, I realized I was not enjoying my Bible reading as I have in the past. Where are You, Lord? Why am I get bogged down in Ezekiel and also can't find anything to hold onto in II Timothy?
It was then that I realized that I had not been asking Jesus to give me wisdom or insight as I . . .
