and Purposeful Prose
"Come on…" "Move along." "That isn't your dish." "Mrrrrrr," she replied Who knew that cat's could give such lip! Tina S.W. June 9, 2020 Paul's Encouragement to the Church at Philippi "Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a [...]
Do the Pines pine for days gone by When their leaves turn brown from the bite of plight? Do they look back longingly at stolen days When life becomes a desolate haze? Or do they hang on tight As they look ahead To better ways and days instead? You can't go back But you can [...]
Prin was always stewing over everything. Her little sister, Glo, constantly chided her to simmer down. Little sis, however, was rather difficult to please. To be fair, both sisters were two peas in a pod. Prin was just as difficult. She was also very sensitive, which meant that she felt everything. Nevertheless, one bright and [...]
I wondered if I should title this one "Organize." My thoughts are so all over the place. It feels as if my heart is all over the place too. I'm scrambling this morning for what kind of photo to use for this post! Ever been there? Oh, I already have a photo. Never mind! However, [...]
I'm already laughing about the title of this post. The above photo is one of the few items I have as a keepsake that belonged to my great-grandma. It's called The Welsh Tea Party.

Things definitely didn't go as we'd imagined. Early into our married life hurdles and dashed dreams found us. Andrew’s health problems [...]

Immediately this poem came to my mind. I regretted deleting it, but then I remembered it was probably [...]
If I could write a symphony While I'm down here on my knees And If the melody could melt a room like wax It still wouldn't be enough To express all that You have done. If I could sing like angel choirs And light the stage with flames of fire And if my voice could [...]
