“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.

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.

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.

Hurry

I have spent a great deal of my life hurrying. Hurry to get to work. Hurry to get to church. Hurry to make the appointment. Hurry and get supper ready. Hurry to wash the clothes. The list goes on.
