and Purposeful Prose
If you know anything about me then you know that I love metaphors. I often think and learn in metaphor. I have a little story for you from many many moons ago. I was having a serious struggle with fatigue. Hence, I was napping on our sofa this day. When I woke, one of our [...]
Will this tea war ever cease? Can't we drop our weapons for the season of giving? Can't we have some good will towards men and tea and a little peace on earth? Tis' the season for fighting and folly. If this sounds like your family Christmas, you aren't alone. In this world we will have [...]
When did this load become so heavy? I've been picking up speed and gathering stones Forgetting the place I can set them all down. Ignoring the fact that I don't walk alone. Why do I try to solve all my problems? I get lost in a world of my doubts and my fears Forgetting Your [...]

[Do all that I have commanded...] It's time to lift our gaze. May we learn to soar on wings like Eagles, resilient in life's storms, propelled forward by the Lords hand. Let the "flying lessons" continue. As a child I loved “dot to dots.” Connecting the dots revealed the entire picture! As an adult I [...]
We all need a Savior In the flesh hearts grow weak But God is our strength He's the anchor that we preach. We've all grasped for hope And grown faint on our knees Our heart becomes downcast When life becomes bleak Holding on by a thread We're held in His arms Fed in the desert [...]
It's time for another round of T Tastes Tea. My infinTEA war continues. Why? It's much ado about nothing that makes life worth living? Boasting. Today's challenger has some pretty bold claims. No matter which way you stand my former champion, clearly Clipper captivates it's audience by towering above the competition. It's a big boy. [...]
Life is filled with hills and valleys It's sometimes up, but then it's down Smiles are mixed with tears and troubles But my Jesus' wears the crown. He's working on my reborn heart Through the hardships I endure With a gentle voice He softly speaks Through the noise of a fallen world. My human nature [...]
