Support is NOT For the Weak
Today’s post is written for the link-up at Five Minute Friday, and the word prompt for the day is support. ***** As I ponder the word support, the first thing that comes to mind is how our culture teaches us to be independent. We are often told how strong we are and that we can […]
What I Learned This Summer
Where, oh where did the summer go? Isn’t that the same question we usually ask at the end of August or when the calendar flips to September? It’s been good, I wish it had seemed longer, but I’m thankful all the same. Here’s a list of some things I learned along the way, in no […]
To Speak or Not to Speak …
… That is the question. I’ve always liked to talk…a lot. But I’ve also needed to learn along the way to talk less, or when it is appropriate to hold my tongue. There are many Bible verses about our speech. It is clear that too much talking, or not speaking in an encouraging and positive […]
Try
Today’s short, unedited post was produced for the link-up at Five Minute Friday (even though it’s Monday). 🙂 ***** So often in life I waste precious time and emotional energy saying, “I’ll try”. I’ll try to get to bed earlier. I’ll try not to waste money. I’ll try to use my time better. I’ll try […]
Inspire
Today’s post is on the prompt, “inspire“. I’m joining some fine folks at Five Minute Friday to write for five minutes, adding my (mostly) unedited thoughts to the variety of writing of many other bloggers today. Join me as we pause, write and/or read today. ***** When I browse for the meaning of “inspire”, I […]
Calling Collect
Today’s short, unedited post is written for the link-up at Five Minute Friday, and the prompt of the day is collect. ***** Do you remember using these? And how about calling someone collect? I’m probably dating myself, as now I guess with the use of cell-phones, payphones probably aren’t used nearly as much as […]
The Serious Value of Play
Today’s short post is written for the link-up at Five Minute Friday, and the prompt of the day is “play“. ***** Children love to play. So why is it that as adults, we find it so difficult to stop, let loose, and relax or have some fun? I know we’re busy, especially if you […]

The Worth of a Father
Today I’m joining the crowd at the Five Minute Friday link-up (a little later, obviously, since it’s Sunday already). The word prompt for this week is “worth“, and I’d like to dedicate my writing on this Father’s Day to my own father, and to include mention of some other important fathers in my life. […]
Expect
Welcome to another Five Minute Friday post, where a bunch of writers write for five minutes on a chosen prompt, without over-thinking or editing. While I admit that I usually go a little over the five minute time suggestion, and perform a few minor edits, it’s still been a great exercise for someone who naturally […]
