Five Minute Friday

I joined in that very first week, that very first prompt Lisa-Jo Baker shared. She wanted to know what we could write in 5 minutes flat. And apparently, so did we. Because Five Minute Friday became a weekly tradition across the blogosphere.

I wrote exactly 100 Five Minute Friday posts during those first three years. And I loved every five minutes. The time limit pushed me, the word prompt challenged me. Many a week God used my Five Minute Friday post to show me a very important lesson. Some of those posts became my favorites and yours.

So here they are, the best of my Five Minute Friday posts. May they speak to you as they spoke to me.
