Focus Upward

Mend
Five Minute Friday Challenge
Last week, our Christmas gift to each other was realized as we had our offices (once our daughters' rooms) updated with fresh paint. We chose Sherwin-Williams Rose', which has a slight purple undertone and not as much pink. However, now that I have moved in with new bedding, a new desk, and a printer stand/filing cabinet, I love . . .

Share Four Somethings - November 2025
And Five Minute Friday Challenge
Come along for a quick trip down memory lane as I recount a few highlights from November. Don't forget to check out Jennifer's blog and the other writers, too. (The "Something Loved" was inspired by Andrew's Prompt for Five Minute Friday, but I am too late for the link-up party.)
I've also included my October video for 1 . . .

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 . . .

Original
Five Minute Friday Challenge
"Original" - beginning, first, as a painting from which a copy can be made, independent or creative in thought and action.
I make photocopies at work, such as maps and spreadsheet logs. I have originals of all I make, but sometimes I grab a copy of the document and put that in the photocopier. As I was doing this one day, I . . .

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 . . .
