Start
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
Here are my "journal thoughts" as I was taking notes during Sunday's sermon on Luke 15.
//God didn't have to "start" seeking me, because He has done that from the moment He created. I was created with eternity in mind.
As I think about the parable of the Lost Sheep (v. 3-7) I'm reminded of Jesus, my Great Shepherd. I am . . .

Testimony
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
At the church where I grew up, Sunday evening services were times of worship and words of testimony.

Take
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the word "take" was the words from the old hymn:
