Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
Are you in the need for prayer? Let us know here and we will pray for you.
Take UP Your Cross Scripture writing prompt: Hebrews 4:3 - For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. It was finished at the cross. I believe in Jesus and that he lived as a man and died and rose again from the dead. He now resides at the right hand of the Father who is in Heaven. He will return one day soon to take me and the other people who have believed in him to Heaven. He has prepared a place for us. Prayer prompt: Pray for your government. Blog prompt: Write about Christian Poetry. My dad used to collect Christian Poems. He would read them and use them in his sermons. He also tried to sing some of them to his own tune. I also loved the poetry, but he could get a little annoying with it. He would sit and copy poems to a spiral notebook. I had to go through pages and pages of poetry he had collected and get rid of duplicates and cut down some of the poems he collected. If you could have only seen the notebooks and papers he collected over the years, you'd understand what I am talking about. Needless to say, it took me several days to go through them all. A wild centaur, unicorn and troll were seen on planet innerlight. After observing some sparkling objects being thrown into the air, I came across this item discarded in a backyard.
Read, review and write about imagination. I would say we have to have an imagination of some sort to be active on WDC. I was accused of having a wild one when I was a child and I have always wanted to be a writer. Next step is to get published. ![]()
On this day in 1950 Charles M. Schultz's “Peanuts” comic strip debuts in just seven US newspapers. (It would eventually run in more than 2,600.) The cartoonist almost named Charlie Brown's dog Sniffy—not Snoopy—but another comic dog had that name. Prompt: Who is your favorite character from the Peanut's comic strip? Do you still watch the seasonal half hour programs that were created about the Peanuts characters? My best friend's favorite cartoon character is Snoopy. My favorite character from Peanuts is Woodstock. She says that makes a perfect match for best friends because we each like the best friend of the character we each like. My goodness! That can get confusing. We still watch the episodes and read the comics occasionally. Prompt: Have you ever bought something because you felt sorry for it but secretly wanted it? Write about this in your Blog entry today. I can't really think of a time that I experienced this. However, I have gotten something for someone else because I felt sorry for them, but secretly had originally wanted the item myself. I don't like to put my value or worth into things and earthly possessions. When I pass away, those things aren't important. What is important is what I have done for others or how I have made them feel. What kind of legacy will I leave behind? Those are the kind of things that last.
Prompt #2: The World Economic Forum has found the average adult will outlive their savings by approximately a decade. What are your best tips for wise spending and saving? Well, they say hindsight is 20/20. I am starting to know why now that I am in my 40's. LOL If I could give advice to my younger self or to someone else today, I'd tell them to live on purpose and with a purpose. Live intentionally. Even if you have no idea what you want to do in life, pick something, and work toward a specific goal even if there are setbacks. If you don't have a focus, you will end up anywhere and everywhere but where you really want to be unless you get very lucky. My parents, being Christian, everything was if it's God's will. We will see. They didn't save money, but made sure to tithe before any bills got paid. Every time I tried something, they weren't very encouraging and the fact that I was a female didn't help. They expected me to marry a man and rely on the man for everything. I don't think they expected me to be nor did they know how to handle me being rather strong headed and independent. Having said this, I don't condemn them for their faith or even for tithing first, but God never said we couldn't make plans. We can't just rely on everyone else to ask us to do this or that or preach, ect... You have to be willing to move first and go get it sometimes. God helps those who help themselves. ![]() |
