Reverendmother gives us this lovely, simple word association Friday Five.
This one is patterned off an old Friday Five written by Songbird, our Friday Five Creator Emerita:
Below you will find five words. Tell us the first thing you think of on reading each one. Your response might be simply another word, or it might be a sentence, a poem or a story.
1. vineyard Mellow, luxurious vacation.
2. root Vegetables-- carrots, potatoes, beets.
3. rescue Baby Jessica. Not sure why that's what occurs to me...
4. perseverance College graduation. That required more perseverance than anything I've ever done. (Not your typical college experience, there were some major setbacks involved.)
5. divided Unfortunately, both family and church sprang to mind for this one. People who ought to support and love one another, but who won't/can't/don't.
(Each of these appears in one of the readings from this Sunday's lectionary.)
PS-- Do you realize I look forward to the Friday Five all week? It's wonderful to have a reason to cycle through your blogs.
