Healing “Stuff”

This post was written for Five Minute Friday. The prompt was Stuff. As I stand in my garage, my heart feels heavy, gazing at the endless array of “stuff” I’ve accumulated over the years. A year and a half ago, when we moved to another city, I took great pride in purging a significant portion... Continue Reading →

“Them’s Fighting Words!”

Today's blog is a prompt from the 5-Minute Friday Writing group. The prompt was "fight." If you're as old as me, you have to remember this saying from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. It seems every time Bugs and old Yosemite Sam got together, there was an argument. It seems Bugs had issues with a... Continue Reading →

Toward

Last weekend, I was blessed to speak in Illinois. What made this time so very special was that it was at the church where my grandparents went for many years.

We were blessed to have two of our grandchildren with us. There was a large crowd but I wouldn't say a "capacity" crowd. The second one is just... Continue Reading →

Nothing

This is the prompt from The Five-Minute Friday Writing Group. We moved into our new home a year ago. So many things I liked about it.
