Tomorrow
Five Minute Friday Challenge
The prompt for this week is TOMORROW. In a world that has been turned upside-down, I find hope in tomorrow. I also find an uneasiness, because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Every day brings change, more bad news. However, I know the answer, I know who holds tomorrow! JESUS!!
That is who I am focusing on. Jesus is Life, . . .

Come to the Table
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
As I look around my home, I see many tables. End tables that hold books and lamps; our large coffee table which supports our tv.

A Five Minute Friday Challenge

Cost
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
This summer, my youngest daughter, Rachel, was hired for her first "real" (full-time) job. Along with that job, she now has "real" (and more) bills to pay than she had in college. I have been budgeting for our family for many years now and she asked if I would help her figure out how to budget.
So, we spent several hours during the . . .

Unknown
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
Recently I had the opportunity to fly to another state to lead a weekend event. As I was sitting, drinking my coffee and waiting to board the plane; I found myself people-watching. My mind began to wander and wonder. I began crafting back-stories in my mind. Was this person flying home? Was that person related to the one with which he . . .
