Sweet Lisa-Jo calls the shots on Friday mornings. Perfectionists need not respond. All us hardy souls know we have only 300 seconds to let our fingers fly across our keyboards. I'm ready to roll again this week. And we're zeroing in on the word RISK ...
= = =
I guess we take a risk whenever we try to write something in 300 seconds. Words worth reading. Especially when they're not going to be edited and reconfigured and beat to death with our red pens. For those of us who labor for hours over a post, this whole Friday morning thing is stepping out on a limb.Maybe a better way to say it is stepping out on faith.
But we do that every day, don't we. Every breath we breathe, every step we take is all about faith.

ReplyDeleteWriting anything that would have any shred of meaning at o'dark:thirty in the morning is taking a big risk, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for kicking off the day, ladies! Got the coffee brewing?
Your words are so true. To work on a post for hours and to produce something so wonderful in 300 seconds. I look forward to another installment.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a bit of a stretch and definitely a refreshing challenge to speak from the heart, to offer maybe a touch of wisdom, and wrap it all up in a few hundred seconds!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Dana!
Oh, yes. Let's live it loud in faith today!!!
ReplyDelete300 seconds of this...time well spent.
'Live it loud in faith' ... I love that!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nikki!
Amen. That's a great prayer to start my day with. Thank you.
