Popinjay–Sharp
Popinjay has returned home. This week’s prompt is: SHARP (Next week’s word is: Bizarre) And this is what I’ve got for my definition of sharp… Taken on one of these rocks in Shell Knob, Missouri
Popinjay–Doubt
Doubt: to lack confidence in, distrust, to consider unlikely. If we’re talking about doubting God–it hasn’t happened in quite a long time. But if you want to get into doubting people (and really, you don’t) then the answer is yes. I doubt. I’ve been burned, it seems, at an average of about once a year. Always by someone I trusted … Read More
Popinjay–FAITH
Faith is the reality of what is hoped for, proof of what is not seen. And what is not seen by mere human eyes is known by God. Last week, just two weeks after mom died, a “friend’s” actions through me into a tailspin. That tailspin that killed Goose (Top Gun) Remember that scene? Yeah. All kinds of bad. My … Read More
Popinjay–BITTER
The challenge word issued last week is: BITTER. I first wanted to take a photo (somehow) of my feelings of bitterness towards the church (in general) for being so legalistic. But the more I thought about it, the deeper I dug a hole. If I take a picture of a church building, that’s just a building. It has nothing to … Read More
Popinjay–ACCOMPLISHED
The challenge word issued last week is: ACCOMPLISHED. I think this week’s word (ironic as it may seem) will go a long way to explain my complete lack of posting last week. Though, I don’t believe in irony. So really, what happened and when it happened and how it coincided with my life is nothing short of amazing. Last week, … Read More
Popinjay–ADORABLE
The challenge word issued last week is: ADORABLE. It’s my birthday and I can cheat if I want to. At least that’s the story I’m sticking with this week. Because I really did have other plans for the word adorable. But then I walked by Zane’s room today while he was doing school and I saw this: And that, my … Read More
Popinjay–FRAZZLED
The challenge word issued last week that is “due” today is: FRAZZLED. We went to an antique store yesterday–a very strange one, I might add. There were lots of ceramic fat monks holding their bellies, very creepy clowns, even creepier dolls, and Santa Claus dolls and statues everywhere. I couldn’t resist taking some pictures of the strangest of the strange … Read More
Popinjay–ANGRY
The challenge word issued last week that is “due” today is: ANGRY. I’m really displeased with myself making these challenges way too…ugh…challenging! I was sick again this week, not as bad as last, but still sick. I did get out a bit, but nothing struck me as angry. I almost gave up and told you this whole Popinjay thing is … Read More
Popinjay–CLUELESS
The challenge word issued last week that is “due” today is: CLUELESS. And I got nothin’ Because I was sick in bed with 102+ fever all week. When I got out of bed, I went to the doctor and he said I had a sinus infection and put me on antibiotics. I’m still not better. Better than I was but … Read More
Popinjay–FREE
The challenge word issued last week that is “due” today is: FREE. Again with the struggle. Free. As in free without paying? No cost. Without sacrifice. Or maybe free as in no boundaries? No rules. No one and nothing holding me back. Able to do as I please. The creek. Free flowing. But bound by its banks. A bird. Free … Read More
