Recently, I published two journals to enhance my upcoming Bible Study, "The Song of My Heart." Journaling has always meant so much to me. It has been a lifeline in many areas of my life. In a world filled with stress and distractions, taking time to reflect on what we’re grateful for can be life-changing.... Continue Reading →
Have you ever considered what can occur within just a single second? That's where Google steps in! *Every second, four babies come into the world. *Every second, 350 slices of pizza are consumed. *Within just one second, a human cell undergoes 100,000 chemical reactions. *A bee beats its wings 11,000 times every second.

We begin our first 2025 Five-Minute Friday prompt with the word "satisfied." As I gaze outside my front door on this snowy day, a sense of satisfaction washes over me. Satisfaction, after all, is about feeling content. Hold on! You're probably wondering how anyone can feel satisfied when a blanket of snow is on the... Continue Reading →

This is a headline that will certainly get our attention. Just like Zoey in Kit Kat Camp; No Electronics, it cannot be swallowed by many people.

Capacity is this week's topic for the Five Minute Friday Writing Group. The above pictures were taken this past weekend on a little trip to St. Louis. 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 →
Today's topic is for Five Minute Writing Group. You must watch the attached video! It's one of Jeff Foxworthy's funniest. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-9xIRe0VdA I know it's not good to generalize but, it seems that men don't really care about the details of certain events.
