It’s one of my favorite times of the week: Five Minute Friday with LisaJo. Each Friday she gives us a word – a prompt. The rules are simple: write for 5 minutes flat about the word for the week. No stopping, no editing. Just. Writing. Then head over to LisaJo’s place and link it up, and read the other brilliance …
More Than The Hem
A large group of people followed. They crowded around him. 25 A woman was there who had a sickness that made her bleed. It had lasted for 12 years. 26 She had suffered a great deal, even though she had gone to many doctors. She had spent all the money she had. But she was getting worse, not better. 27 Then she heard …
After the Declaration
This week’s prompt from LisaJo is After. Five minutes, no editing, just writing. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking, meditating, praying. Talking to this One I address as Lord, about all the things I declare about Him…to Him. Do I really believe this? Is this true? What are my core values? And I’ve found myself without hesitation …

Let Me Count the Ways
We leave bright dark and early on a plane tomorrow for a jam-packed schedule for the next week and a half. This is possibly the last post for awhile around here and I was desperate to put words to page. Once again, the prompt from LisaJo for Five Minute Friday was so apropos. The word this week is BROKEN Start Jagged. …
Familiar, Yet Changed
Memories rise like dust in the desert with each step I take in this dry land, familiar yet changed. Round every corner nostalgia blows afresh. The scent of a memory wafts by, gone as quickly as it came; so quickly one would doubt if ever it was truly there. This place. It saw me bloom from child to young lady …
Treasure, Ponder, Snuggle, Repeat
I see your small body on the sheet covered gurney; blood staining your knee and your jeans. Tears stain your cheeks and sweat has matted your hair to your head. I want to remember how tiny you were are and how things can happen and change in an instant. I see you standing in front of the ginormous ride, both terrified and chomping …
If You Came to My Village
If you came to my wee village in the west of Ireland on Saint Patrick’s Day, it might look a little bit different than you expect. It might be more subdued. There might be less green. There certainly wouldn’t be any pinching. But it would no doubt be an experience that you would take with you and think of fondly …
Finding What Wishes to Hide
I decided it was high time to dust off these ole keys and blow the cobwebs out of this writer’s mind. What better way to do that than to join LisaJo and her tribe in the greatest writer flash mob around, Five Minute Friday? And I nearly laughed out loud when I read this week’s prompt as I’ve been waxing …
Home Sweet…Home? And More Series Fun…
Wow, has it really been a month since I’ve posted?? I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your patience with me and sticking around while I’ve been so quiet! We arrived safe and sound in the States and promptly hit the ground running. We’ve not stopped traveling in some form or fashion in the 3.5 weeks we’ve been here! …
