FF: How Easter Really Started

PHOTO PROMPT © Sandra Crook CLICK TO JOIN How Easter Really Started Genre: Fan fiction/crossover Unlike my more notorious sister, I was always a well-behaved TARDIS.

FF: I Have a Dream

PHOTO PROMPT © Nancy Richy CLICK TO JOIN THE FUN In between heaven and earth, Susannah pauses to dream with her eyes open.

79: Be angry but do not sin

79: Be angry but do not sin Ephesians 4:26 “Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not leave room for the devil.” (NAB) This is my fourth and maybe last post in the series I’m writing on Harris for President 2024, mostly because after this […]

FF: Late for Work Again

PHOTO PROMPT © Jennifer Pendergast CLICK TO JOIN I turn down the music in my 2022 Ford pickup and wait for my boss to answer the call, which she does right away. “What is it this time?” she asks. “Flat tire?” “Does it matter?” I ask, watching the geese cross the road in front of […]

93: The Truths We Hold

This is the third post in my series on Kamala Harris and the reasons I heartily support her candidacy for president.

G is for Goryo

Alone in a strange land, she died, unknown and unmourned, not for many days, and yet. And yet.  Her spirit lingers even now, in those she tried to help, those she could not save. And, they say, if you wander the field at night, if you mean any ill, she might drag you down, as […]
