Five Minute Friday Challenge & Delight-filled update
How fun that this week's Five Minute Friday coincides with Emily P. Freeman's quarterly post on "What I learned..." So, here is my 2nd installment of my own "quarterly update" which includes things I've learned or have "delighted in" since June. (Click here for my 1st quarterly update)

Pace
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
Somedays the pace of this world is way too fast. I get sucked into the rat race of living or making a living. I forget how to truly live.
What can I do to slow down the pace? In the morning, I take time to study the Word and pray before I go off to work. Over the weekend I like to change the pace from my work week. I like to read, . . .

Again
A Five Minute Friday Prompt
"You can't go home again is an idiom and a title of a book by Thomas Wolfe. Some folks believe that is true. I know that if you go back to the place you call home; it's just not quite the same.

A Five Minute Friday Challenge
It's interesting that as children, we are not afraid to ask questions. Sometimes to the exasperation of our parents or other adults around us. However, as we grow older and supposedly wiser, more mature, it seems that we are less willing to ask some of those questions.
Sure, those questions change over the years, but as . . .

Goal
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
The idea of "goals" has always seemed scary to me. I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's because I'm a perfectionist. I don't like goals if I think I'm not going to achieve them "perfectly". Setting goals can also be hard when you don't know what you want in the future.
