Five Minute Friday Challenge
A few weeks ago, I felt the Lord nudging me back to writing on the Five Minute Friday prompt. The day after, I found out that Kate was taking an extended medical leave. I was pleased to hear that a fellow writer and longtime member of the Five Minute Friday Community agreed to keep the prompts going. So, thanks to Andrew Budek for keeping . . .

Share Four Somethings - April 2025
And a Five Minute Friday Challenge
Welcome to my look back at April. It was a month marked by lots of rain but also some nice Spring days. I've posted this on Jennifer's blog, along with a few other writers this month. I also added the Five Minute Friday word, "might" for the last "something" below. (It's a 2-for-1 this month! Ha ha)

A post from my journal on Easter Sunday morning, April 20, 2025.

I cannot imagine my life without You, Jesus. You pick me up when I fall. You are my Protector and . . .

Five Minute Friday Challenge

Fight
Five Minute Friday Challenge
Have you ever had an experience with hearing (or sensing) the Lord's voice and knowing it was Him? I had that experience with a box the other morning. (Balaam had a donkey, I had a box.)
I left for work at my usual time, while it was still dark outside. I noticed something on the road. At first, it appeared to be something . . .

Musings that Matter
Five Minute Friday Challenge
Recently, I celebrated a life well lived by an aunt and recalled the 10th anniversary of my Grandmother's passing. It feels like too many friends have also lost loved ones in recent weeks. As I grow older, I've been thinking more and more about what truly matters. Life can be hard, and as cliche as it sounds; I don't know how . . .
