Prompt: "Staying at Home: Wall Talk
These walls are made for talkin’!
The popcorn’s poppin’ and we’re all rubbing our hands together in anticipation of what we’re about to read. We’re ready for the whole story, no matter how funny!
Are ya ready, walls? Start talkin!"

I don't know if the walls are interested in Biblical interpretation or not. That's what I'm reading now.

Prompt: "Write a post inspired by the weather..."

I can't really think of much. I've been working and I'm sweaty and hot. Perhaps a brief poem about winter weather will do the trick. The weather I speak of is not typical for my part of West Virginia but in the mountains it's common.

Snow blowing atop the mountains
Clouds billowing up its slopes
The blizzard is howling on the peaks
Storms like this are winter hazards
Days on end perhaps for weeks.

"Prompt: Discipline creates lifestyle. Use this phrase in your Blog entry today."

I agree that discipline creates a lifestyle. I believe in the fact that some of God's greatest gifts are the hard times in our lives because hard times discipline us and make us into better people. Jesus did not have an easy life. Yes. He was the adopted son of a carpenter and carpenters and tradesmen were as close as His age could have to a middle class. Yet He suffered tremendously I am sure because He lived among men and was subjected to all the horrors of sin. We do not have to be sinners today. We can choose to live disciplined lives if we want.
