Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
Take UP Your Cross October 3rd, 2025 Scripture writing prompt: Hebrews 10:1 - For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. The shadow is never as good as the real thing. It can cast an image, but it can't be the object it is shadowing. So, the Israelites offering sacrifices of dead animals to God was only a shadow or image of the messiah. Prayer prompt: Pray for those who will experience the tribulation.

Prompt for October 3rd, 2025 There appeared to be an uproar and a storm brewing over planet WriterRick, I sent a cadet to investigate for me, and this is the report he brought back.
Read, review and write about uncontrolled wrath. I understand why the Bible says the wrath of man does not bring forth the righteousness of God. (James 1:20) Self-control is also a gift of the Spirit. It glorifies God when we can control our tempers. Uncontrolled wrath however only produces evil. It kills, humiliates, steals peace, destroys relationships, etc.. It also hurts the person holding onto it.  
October 3rd, 2025 Prompt: Have fun with these words in your entry today-- accident. native, risk, draw, degree, tail, teal, cultural, end and encourage. Sometimes, I like these kinds of prompts and sometimes I don't. Today, I don't, but then again, I'm not feeling well. Although, these sound like they would make a great western short story. Billy found himself in the middle of a fight by accident. He had known it was a risk, but he wanted to stand up for the lady who was native to the area. To a degree, he knew he might get into some trouble but never expected it to turn into a gun fight in the middle of the street. The strange man had ripped open the front of the lady's teal dress and was mocking her. It had been his cultural upbringing that a man should stand up for a woman and that is exactly what he did when he saw her being mistreated like that. Watching the stranger with a trained eye, he tried to encourage himself by telling himself that he was doing the right thing even if his life would come to an end. In a split second, he made his draw and fired. The other man's gun flung from his hand as the bullet had hit its target. No one would die today. He could breathe a sigh of relief. The lady thanked him and went on her way. As he mounted and road away, his horse flicked his tail in approval. October 4th, 2025 Prompt: "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go" - Dr. Seuss. "From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere." - Dr. Suess Did you read Dr. Suess as a child? Read his books to your children? What do you think of these quotes by Dr. Suess, is he right or simply writing sentences that rhyme for children? I think it is a fun way to express truths and get kids to remember them. I know I remember things better when they are enjoyable. I have always like Dr. Suess and his quotes. I think we have gotten ridiculous in our society when we have good classic reading material banned over stupid reasons.  October 3rd, 2025 "After the keen still days of September, the October sun filled the world with mellow warmth...The maple tree in front of the doorstep burned like a gigantic red torch. The oaks along the roadway glowed yellow and bronze. The fields stretched like a carpet of jewels, emerald and topaz and garnet. Everywhere she walked the color shouted and sang around her." —Elizabeth George Speare, The Witch of Blackbird Pond Prompt: Describe what you see surrounding you as Ms.Speare did. Honestly, because I don't feel well today, I felt impatient. However, if I take the time to take it in and appreciate it, I can relate to it. It's the kind of scenery I like to be in. It sounds beautiful. October 4th, 2025 "Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real" - Nora Ephron. Your thoughts? I agree. When I was a teenager, I had a crazy dynamic in my home life. Reading was an escape from my reality. It was a way for me to relax in stressful environments.
Prompt #3: Choose a job you have (or have held in the past) and discuss the skills required. Explain why each skill is needed and how they can be learned. Filling out a job application has never been a favorite thing of mine to do. I don't find it fun at all. This prompt sounds like something you would include in an application. Blah! Just saying. I'm about to rant. LOL I have mostly been in customer service, retail, or fast food for a majority of my life. Even in fast food, there are skills that have to be learned. For example, if you want to be bilingual, you have to find a way to learn the 2nd language. You can use a language app, do research, and have an acquaintance teach it to you. It doesn't matter how you learn it, just that you can demonstrate that you can do it. A lot of skills are like that. However, also in fast food, to advance to a management or leadership position, you must take and pass a food safety course. Some places offer a certificate to show you have taken the course. Then there are some skills that are taught by computer or watching videos. Some are interactive and some are not. I have had many of these during my time in the professional world. I don't think there is any shame in working in fast food or janitorial work or some other less paying and less than desirable jobs. Some people look down on others because they think they are lower class. You know what? At least they are trying, and they are working for a living the best way they know how. It bugs me when people mistreat others just because they aren't highly educated or making a lot of money.  |
