Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Hi there, dear friends.
It’s time for Five Minute Friday, that sweet moment when I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker, she gives us a prompt and we write, for five minutes flat.
Not profound thought process or strategizing. Just write.
And this weeks prompt?
WRITE
AND GO!! [Read more…]
In a previous life, I liked to play it safe.
Oh, who am I kidding? I STILL like to play it safe. Except when it comes to living for Christ.
I learned quick, fast, and in a hurry, that when we live a dangerous life for Christ, there is no safer place we could be. [Read more…]
We live in such a judgmental world. UG.
I say this because this is something I still struggle with and God is doing a pretty intense work on me . My ridiculous fleshy self is still being subdued by the heart of Christ in me. It’s a process. But passing split-second judgments still happen for me (although I am immediately convicted.) So this is why today’s Hidden Ah-Ha really tugged on my heartstrings. It’s a short four-word phrase found in James… [Read more…]
Merry Christmas, beloved readers, followers and supporters!
Here at 7 Days Time, we dig tradition, especially around the holidays. So this Christmas, I wanted to re-gift a lil somethin’ somethin’. (Hope you aren’t offended. At least it’s not a fruitcake.) This is a tiny reminder of WHY we celebrate this wonderful holiday. We are free to celebrate thanks to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and our beloved American Military.
A Christmas Salute to you all!!

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the base,
Soldiers were last-minute shopping,
Running all over the place.
It has been a crazy year,
Full of missions and drills,
But through serving their country,
Their hearts were fulfilled. [Read more…]
Growing up on a farm, we “adopted” dozens of orphaned baby animals to raise through the years.
Sometimes it was a family of tiny baby bunnies after a dog got ahold of their mama. Or maybe some kittens who’s mom went MIA. (We always waited for her to come back… but she didn’t.) Perhaps it was the baby calves who were born during a blizzard and took up residence in our bathtub, back porch or garage til they were back on their feet or a new mama could be found for them. Sometimes it was a baby bird who had fallen from the nest. You name it… we probably tried to raise it. [Read more…]
My heart is all a-flutter today… I am SO excited about this post… AND I DIDN’T EVEN WRITE IT! That’s right, after over two years of me writing and blogging, my Beloved Husband has blessed and honored me with guest posting. (BE STILL MY HEART!) His sincerity and love of Christ is sure to inspire you (and the other men in your lives… Be sure to share it with them.)
Oh. And be sure to leave lots and lots of comments below so Barn will know how awesome this article is… (And so he will write again soon.)
Get ready to enter into the Jesus Testosterone Zone. 🙂 [Read more…]
Hi friends.
After several weeks of sketchy hotel internet, it appears that my on-the-spot Five Minute Friday writing dealio might just work. (But just to make sure, I am throwing out a few prayers. Lil’ help here, J-man.)
Let’s give it a shot.
Quick Five Minute Friday (FMF) background in case you missed the memo. Each week I link up with Lisa-Jo Baker (whose blog/internet is ALSO on the fritz today,) she gives us a prompt and we write– for five minutes.
Simple as that.
And today’s word (no surprise here…)
BROKEN
And go! [Read more…]
Have you ever thought about how something so teeny tiny can really throw your life in a tizzy?
Consider this… Just missing a payment or two of a school loan can really jack with your credit score. Going just a few miles per hour over the speed limit can impact your driving record when the cop writes out that fateful ticket. Olympic races are sometimes won and lost in just milliseconds.
Sin in our lives is the same way. Just a little “tiny” one, if left unattended, it can really mess with our lives. (Sidenote: there are not “big” and “small” sins… A sin is a sin is a sin. But I think we sometimes consider some “smaller” than others as a means of justifying our actions. But that’s another blog post. Anywho…) I personally think having unrepented sin in our lives is like having a splinter in our finger. [Read more…]
So… What’s your favorite book of the Bible?
If you have been a Christian longer than a day, more than likely someone has asked you this question… (Or maybe that’s just what my nerdy Jesus self talks to my friends about…)
Regardless… Have you thought about it lately? What IS your favorite book? [Read more…]
When I was growing up, I loved field trips.
I mean, what kid doesn’t? It was an excuse to get out of the classroom, explore something new, educational (ish) and exciting (ish.) Plus we got to pack a lunch in a classic paper bag or cool metal (or plastic) lunchbox.
Some of my favorite field trips were trips to local orchards.
It probably stemmed for my love of agriculture… and also my love of food. (Rarely did these trip ever not include free samples of juice, fruit, candy, etc.) Plus, orchards weren’t a super popular deal in Kansas– wheat and beef, yes. Orchards? Not so much. [Read more…]
It's been awhile since we have posted a fresh Factor of 7 here at 7 Days Time. We've done a few small ones over the last several months, but we wanted to share one of most recent random acts of kindness with you. Because it was fun. And hey, who … Interested? Read on...
