Wave Rider…

Wiwohka3 Comments

Thru fierce storms and forceful winds

Ride on…

Thru swells of uphill battles

Ride on…

Though the rain burns your skin

Ride on…

When the waves pummel the sides of your vessel

Ride on…

The ship you sail has a mighty Captain

so Ride on…

He steers directly through the eye of each storm

so Ride on…

Your vessel’s timbers are bound together by faith

so Ride on…

Wind cannot overpower and no fire can destroy

so Ride on…

You may feel the fire’s heat

You may taste the salt from the waves

Your ears may hurt from the roar of thunder

You may feel the sting of the wind slapping your face

But,

The captain you sail with knows His ship

and He knows you…

Because of His unfailing love and guidance

You have the power to Ride on…

I Finally Stopped Running…

Daily writing prompt
How often do you walk or run?
View all responses

As I answered the question last year from an actual exercise point of view, I chose to think of the question metaphorically, if you will.

I spent most of my considerable years running…

Running from trauma, hurt, pain, rejection, judgement and unforgiveness from others. I choose not to do that any longer!

Instead, I now choose to walk forward, one day at a time!

So, in answer to the prompt… I walk every day.

But, I also make my friends cookies each morning.

Not that I’m trying to tell you how to eat a cookie or anything, but if you nibble on the toe’s first… the rest of the foot tastes better!

Thursday Thoughts…

Here’s a first! I don’t really have any words to write, just now.

Instead, I’ve chosen scripture to share with you this morning. Sometimes it says that which I cannot!

“Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll– are they not in your record? Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise– in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.” Psalm 56: 8 – 13

Tonight, Pinky, We Shall Take Over the World…

What are you doing this evening?
View all responses

I loved to watch that cartoon Pinky and the Brain, where the two lab mice or rats (whatever they were) would start their day off with the big dumb one asking the small one the same question from the day before… hey, Brain, what are we doing today? Brain would always answer the same thing, as well… Pinky, today we are going to take over the world!

When I saw the prompt, my mind went straight to that old cartoon… so, that’s my long winded answer for what I’m doing this evening. No, this evening won’t be filled with plans for world domination. I just have no intention of airing my evening activities for all to read!

If we have nothing better to do than to read what others are doing in their personal time, well then, we need to find something to do. If we have nothing better to do than to hand out all our personal business for others to feed off of, well then, we need to stop oversharing so much personal information…

Just sayin…

Here, have a cookie…

Please don’t try eating the mice… they’re not cookies!

I spent yesterday setting up the framework for Volume II of my book series, and today I will be building my storyboard on the computer.

I like to have lots of maps and pictures available, making it easier for the writing of the story, itself… my mojo, if you will.

I want to keep moving forward with the storyline, regardless of how long it takes for the first book to get picked up. My desire is to keep everything connected as smoothly as possible for whomever eventually reads the books.

I’m certainly not boasting that I shall become some writing guru that pops out best selling novels like tic tac’s, or anything. I suppose I simply want to have the most positive attitude towards the future that I can, regardless of circumstances or any future outcome… it just makes things look brighter, that’s all.

Besides, I better use it or loose it, as far as putting words to paper… I’m not getting any younger!

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
View all responses

Promises Promises

Have I got a deal for you

It’s a guarantee

I’m doing this for you

I swear it

You deserve it

All I need from you is

If you do this, then I’ll

It’ll be just between us

Anytime there is an overly happy, too good to be true sort of person, acquaintance, sales person or what not… the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end!

I’ll tell you why…

Because, promises are not always promises, not all deals are all that good, there are no guarantees, most people who tell you it’s for your good are about to hurt your feelings, anyone can swear nowadays, no one truly knows who deserves what, there is always a catch or something in it for the one offering… and, it is never, ever, ever just between you and them!

I know, I know… pretty brutal and straight up, right?!

I’m pretty sure everyone has met at least one person like this in their lifetime. Maybe not all of the above in just one person, but it is a self-centered personality trait that I find rather irritating, destructive, and dangerous… I avoid this personality like the plague!

I’ll make it clear here that I’ve no specific person to point fingers at, since the trait can be found in any sort of type… if they let it!

Here, have a cookie…

Don’t reach out for love

Only to burn the hand you grasp

True forgiveness is about putting out fires…

Not Starting Them!

I might ask you to click on a re-run of my prompt response, but I wouldn’t think of offering you cookies from a year ago… ewwww!

Serene Sunday…

I find that I am in need of some extra time in the word, today. I shall continue on my way through the Psalms, with a heavy splash of the book of Matthew… mmmmm…. perfect!

God Bless each and everyone of you, my friends!

Oh, and help yourselves to a muffin before you leave…

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.
View all responses

Since I don’t personally know any professional athletes, this prompt question is impossible to truthfully answer… sorry.

Respect is something earned, and I don’t see how I might accurately form an opinion about anyone I don’t really know.

Not only that… I most certainly would not make my assessment based off of anything that has been in the media. I say this because for the most part, it’s no longer about what the truth is… just who published the juicy information first!

Maybe I’d feel differently if I were a die hard sports fan, or something… but it’s obvious that I’m not.

I do love cookies though…
