There are so many things I would do! A lot of them fall into one kind of related sub-category, though: Things I’d Do If I Knew I Couldn’t Hurt Myself I’d hang-glide, surf, kite-surf, scuba dive, and more if I knew I wasn’t going to fail and hurt myself. I like things that offer speed…
the sky was pink It clouded over later, but I did happen to look out the window right away and I got to take in the lovely colors. my foot started to feel better I had kind of a weird pain issue with my one foot that was nagging me for a few weeks. I…
I think I have to break the rules here and give my top three favorite toys, actually. They’re all toys that my sister and I played with together, and I just don’t know if I could pick a top one. First up, Strawberry Shortcake dolls, which we always called “smelly dolls”. That kind of sounds…
There are lots of ways to have a boring evening, but the first one that occurred to me was this: (and some of you will be horrified…) watching sci-fi. I have found pretty much every sci-fi movie/show I’ve seen to be incredibly boring. It’s not that there’s a lack of action; it’s just that I…
I thought about this one for a while, stuck on the idea that I don’t really have any Sunday rituals. But then I realized, I kind of do: I go to church! I think there have been times in my life where I’ve just gone to church because of habit, or because I’ve thought it’s…
This prompt seems a little hardcore to me; so I am changing it to 3 Things That Are Important To Have In My Life. 😉 Because “can’t live without” things are a little boring and predictable: like, oxygen, sustenance, and sleep. So. Three things I consider to be pretty essential. Jesus Life without hope would…
I thought about a few things, but the first one that came to mind was my 2007 Christmas gift from Mr. FG. I’d been kind of getting into photography that year, but that was a lean stage of life, and I couldn’t really justify upgrading from my point and shoot. So, I was extremely surprised…
When life feels heavy, look back at all those times before when things have been hard, and you thought life would never be ok again. And when you look back, pay attention to how you have seen God work, time and time again. The God who helped you through all those past trials is still…
This is a hard one. There are some times in history that I think would be interesting to visit. But I don’t want to go live in those times. Specifically, I wouldn’t want to go back to any time in history that’s missing two things: air conditioning indoor plumbing That rules out a LOT of…
This could be a very short post: no. But, here are some more words. 😉 I think there are a number of people walking the planet that I could be partnered with, and I think the same is true for Mr. FG. In this broken world, no one is going to be THE PERFECT PARTNER….
Whenever I share something on the internet, I try to make sure it’s 100% safe for public consumption. So when I saw this prompt, I felt a little stumped. How do I write about this while respecting other people’s privacy? But then I thought about a pattern that makes forgiveness hard for me, and I…
I’ve been coming up a little dry in this arena for 2020. But I finally got Spotify and I’ve been listening to Lauren Daigle’s music a lot. And one line from her Salt and Light song has stuck in my head: Let my life be a song, revealing who you are… I think more than…
This is a funny prompt for me because I never had an official roomate. I lived with my parents until I was 19, at which point I got married and moved in with my husband. So, I suppose I have to go back farther than that! While I spent most of my years at home…
As soon as I saw this prompt, I knew what to type. I think it’s getting a little lighter over there.” My dad is kind of an optimist (I may have inherited that from him!), and this optimism extends to the weather. When I was a kid and we experienced bad weather (particularly while camping),…
If I am in the right (wrong?) frame of mind, then a lot of songs can make me cry. (The “right” frame of mind: whenever I am feeling emotionally raw/tired.) When I read the prompt for today, though, the first song that came to mind was Andrew Peterson’s Always Good. The lyrics are really meaningful,…
Describe the day you moved away from your childhood home. I left my childhood home on my wedding day. I believe I lived in another house prior to that one when I was a baby, but that house is where my memories start. I lived there for 19 years, and at that point, 19 years…
