THROWBACK THURSDAY: Artist of the Stars ( A Haibun 2021)

Artist of the stars, Love radiates from Heaven, Creation ignites.

31 Days of Spookiness: Friday the 13th on a Battlefield 1995

Today I am celebrating my 27th wedding anniversary. It was only fitting that two people who love scary movies chose Friday the 13th – in the spookiest of all months – to get married. We were married on part of Richmond National Battlefield. As you know, Richmond, Virginia played a huge part in the CivilContinue reading “31 Days of Spookiness: Friday the 13th on a Battlefield 1995”

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Mr. Cooper Takes a Walk (Start of a children’s story 2017)

Mr. Cooper saw that the back gate was slightly open. He peeked out to see if his owner was out in the front yard, but she wasn’t. He was going to go back inside, but then he spotted a fire hydrant near the sidewalk that he just had to visit. After, visiting the fire hydrant,Continue reading “THROWBACK THURSDAY: Mr. Cooper Takes a Walk (Start of a children’s story 2017)”

Throwback Thursday: Short Story (2021 First Paragraph)

The previous year hadn’t been kind to her. Her hope and persistent self-preaching led her to believe that the new year would be different. It would hold a kinder story. However, the first two weeks had already fired the first shot in the battle raging within her – the battle between reality of this worldContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Short Story (2021 First Paragraph)”

Throwback Thursday: LUCIDITY

Lucidity is lost, fading with memories of better times. She is a fragment of who she was – a vibrant girl she used to know, stolen by unexpected grief. Simple plans have vanished. She blinks as nothing comes to mind, but her uninvited reality of darkness. ©Raelyn Pracht 2020

Throwback Thursday: A Place for You (2017)

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will comeContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: A Place for You (2017)”

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Perspective (2016)

Perspective can be defined as “the faculty of seeing all the relevant data in a meaningful relationship.” As Christians, we don’t have to look at our symbolic chains or circumstances. Paul was a great example about perspective. Shackled and in chains, Paul doesn’t wallow in sorrow for his circumstances. He sees what is happeningContinue reading “THROWBACK THURSDAY: Perspective (2016)”

Throwback Thursday: INTREPID (a 100 word writing prompt)

This is probably my favorite piece I have ever written using a specific word and word count.

Throwback Thursday: The Owl and I (2014)

Tonight I saw something silhouetted against the twilight sky. Its stretched out wings spanned widely. The creature flew and perched itself on top of the light post I was standing under. It was a beautiful owl! I stood frozen in awe as I looked up meeting its stare. Its golden, wide eyes looked down atContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Owl and I (2014)”
