This poem is being written in stages to highlight the things I do toward frugal living. Toothpaste: squeeze, squeeze you. But never tease me. I will cut you open before I let you be. Give me all your power. Your contents, I will devour. Inside I find more paste. Enough for at lease 5 moreContinue reading “Waste not. Want not: tooth paste”

Once there was Darkness
Stranger in the dark Mecca allowed all people to visit inside its city. It wasn’t until you had proven that you didn’t belong that you were uninvited. Mecca had one jail with 2 rooms. It was not encouraged to end up there. And stays were always brief. Court had been once every 30 days. ButContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
The Climb
On top of the mountain, I climb. To see what I can see. The view is amazing up here. The climb was a little difficult. It was squishy. It moved and made strange noises. Did I tickle you on the way up? Did I step in places I shouldn’t have stepped? Places that caused youContinue reading “The Climb”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 18 Another sleepless night, Kol lit a candle. All he wanted was to kiss Kessa. A real kiss. He had worked up his resolve. ‘Tonight.’ It was Max that answered the call. “Max?” He bowed his head, “Kessa has gone to the mountain..” Kol cut him off, “yes, to learn new ways to preserveContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Testimony Tuesday
Our prayer group does this thing we call ‘Testimony Tuesday’. You can share. Or not. This was one of my testimonies. I freaked out a little. I’m a year older. My body isn’t in great shape; inside or out. I’m single, no children. Who’s going to take care of me as I age? Or helpContinue reading “Testimony Tuesday”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 17 Part 3 “We have two soldiers out there.” Frego sighed. “Why?” “One of them is the man that grabbed your hand.” Kessa answered. Kol walked away. He was in the library when Kessa knocked. “Are you okay, my king?” He started pacing, still upset. “Why did you show me that?” “You know meContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Lead Me.
Dear Lord, I’m standing in the middle of life. Lead me. Which way do I go? Lead me. Will I have enough money when I’m bent and broken? Lead me. Do you have a new job for me? Lead me. Is there a relationship in my future? Lead me. Shall I stay where I am?Continue reading “Lead Me.”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 17 Part 2 They finished their meal in silence. Once they were done, spoons down; Max and Frego walked toward them. Max spoke. “Everyone has had their fill and we have food left.” Frego continued, “the temple doesn’t need it.” Kessa smiled, “let’s take it to the wall.” As she stood, she said toContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Time to start livin’
A very wise friend told me recently, “time to start living’”. I’ve thought a lot about his words. Other people around me are ‘busy living’, doing things they feel called or led to do. Things they find fun. Or simply things they just want to learn how to do. And not necessarily from Youtube. I’mContinue reading “Time to start livin’”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 17 Part 1 Kol and General Marcus finished military accounts. Kohl’s head was hurting. The sound of Marcus’s voice felt like a dart through his brain. Marcus tugged at his belt sighing, “another good days work.” Kol gave him a questioning glance. “No one has been killed today.” Kol nodded in agreement. With hisContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
