Friday Five – Signs of Spring! Ha!

Today over at RevGals, it’s Friday Five time again. In Nova Scotia, we have been snow-bombed for the past week, with amounts close to 100 cm (39 inches) in some places. Many churches cancelled services last Sunday for the THIRD time since the middle of January. On street parking in Halifax has been banned as…

Friday the 13th Random Friday Five! (or F13RFF!)

1. What have you got going on today? Finished planning Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Sunrise Easter Service and most of the later Easter service.   2. What about a prayer request, how can we pray for you today? For energy. I find the switch to daylight savings time harder each year.  3. What makes you curious? Everything…

FROZEN!

It’s a FROZEN Friday Five over at RevGals! 1. For The First Time in Forever: Tell us about a magical first snow day – for a child, a transplanted southerner, or maybe you have a great story from the first snowfall in your area this season. I usually love snow days, the sense of being safe…

Friday Five – Lucky 13!

It’s Random Friday Five over at RevGals.   1.  Folklore has it that 13 is unlucky.  Some rabble rousers think that 13 is lucky.  Do you have a lucky number, lucky “thing”, lucky anything that goes wherever you go? I have a ‘lucky’ button that it usually in the pocket of my robe when I am…

Friday Five – They Say It’s Your Birthday!

Over at RevGalBlogPals, the questions this week are all about birthdays! 1) Are you a cake or pie person? What type do you savor on your big day? Definitely a cake person. Devil’s Food Cake.  2) Growing up, did you have a favorite “birthday meal?” How about now? I don’t remember a favourite birthday meal growing up.…

Friday Five – Brrr!

Over at Revgals the ‘Friday Five’ question is How Do You Cope With the Cold? I have discovered how much warmer I stay when I wear boots! This may seem pretty basic but for a number of years I had heated underground parking and it’s been an adjustment to parking my car in the driveway…

Friday Five – What Kind of Year?

Over at RevGals, the Friday Five question this week is ‘What Kind of Year?’ I am not in the habit of making New Year’s Resolutions anymore, but have been thinking about the future a lot, especially as I leave one congregation in less than two weeks to take up a 6 month appointment with another…

Friday Five – WHOOOOOOSH!

WHOOOOOOOOSH! That was the air rushing out of our collective pool of energy. 1. What’s your “chill out” foot gear? Slippers or socks? Or Birkenstocks? (Poem not intentional) Barefoot all the way!  2. A holiday treat or beverage that just makes you say “AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!” That first sip of white wine when I get home on Christmas Eve. …

Friday Five – Advent

Friday Five over at RevGals invites us to quietly ponder 5 things about Advent. 1. Decorating the tree with my youngest granddaughter.  2. Being pulled further into darkness as the days continue to shorten, but with the sureness that light will return. 3. The sense of optimism that returns to churches. 4. The Blue Christmas Service…
