Friday Five: Random @ 3:00 a.m.

The RevGals may not know what they've unleashed in asking for any old five things that have been on our minds. Sometimes it's my bladder, other times it's Blanca's, but 3:00 a.m. is an old friend of mine. Three a.m. has taught me how quick, agile, and completely random a brain can be, how full of …

Friday Five: Light

Julie over at RevGals asks for this Friday Five, we fill the Web with light, in photographs, poetry, scripture, or whatever else brings light to a troubled world.

Friday Five: Needing an Epiphany

Michelle at RevGals asks, what do you do when you're spiritually stuck, and in need of an Epiphany? In no particular order: Clean. Yes, I use the trick of cleaning for lots of stress-inducing things and one would think I had an immaculate house but no, my house is clean in the fits and starts …

Friday Five: Distractions

3dogmom at RevGals asks us to list five things we use as distractions when the going gets tough. I'm super good at distracting myself most of the time. Just stay busy! Sooooo very busy! So busy I can't think about that thing I really should attend to, or the horrors of the day which lately seem …
