and Purposeful Prose
I'm so glad that I email myself. I really do and I really am. No, it's not sad. I like to back up all of my writing. After working hard on something I don't want to lose my work. I've heard stories. I remember my mentor being so frustrated that he'd lost what he'd spent [...]
I'm always thrilled to discover new artists, even if they're only new to me. Andrew appreciates it too. Since my discovery of Simon Khoroliskiy he's played Simon's tunes over and over. I'm glad that he finds comfort in his music. However, I think Simon is officially living with us now. Matthew Parker Parker is considered [...]
Years ago (many years ago) I wrote a poem called "My life as a Tree." This poem was written before I ever knew Jesus. It was quite depressing and not at all hopeful. I must have tossed it out for this very reason. Life wasn't so funny at the time, but now (even when I'm [...]
So I made dinner. This is something I do... usually in the evenings. This seems about the right time. As I'm digging right in Andrew is waiting for his to cool a bit. He looks over at me and says, Wow, my wife is amazing; she has a fireproof mouth. That woman can take a scoop [...]
We have a very thoughtful upstairs neigbor. He's a wonderful neighbor. When he came back from Alaska he brought us some fish and dungeness crab. It's really good! He also gave us some cash for taking care of his dog. We always tell him that we are more than willing to watch Charlie for nothing. [...]
This is a bit of an add on to my last InfiniTEA War post. Minty Licorice Delight has a very pleasant and comforting scent, but Andrew turned his nose up at it. Nevertheless, there was something familiar about it that I just couldn't put my finger on. Finally, it came to me---Cinnamon! Of course! Andrew [...]
Is less more or is more more? Perhaps it's neither here nor there? This feels as if it's going to be a philosophical tea tasting. Is there such a thing? Has it ever been done? I don't know, but I'm not a philosopher so it won't be done today. Now what? So my mint tea [...]
Friday morning I felt lost. Don’t worry, it wasn’t a dire kind of lost, more like a "what am I going to do today?" kind of lost. It's hard when you don't have a schedule. I'm not good at managing myself. I'm so glad that I have Jesus to help me. I'm a mess. I [...]
I'd never even heard the word "mothra" until Andrew uttered it last week. I thought it was the funniest thing. So last week we had the privilege of watching our neighbor's dog, Charlie. Well… most of it was a privilege. I like to feel useful and she's a pretty easy dog to dogsit. She does, [...]
When I'm struggling to concentrate Can't see anything new Lord, help me to remember everything You do. When I'm trying to move forward But it seems I'm standing still Lord, help me to remember that I can trust Your sovereign will. When I don’t understand Lord, help me to take Your hand I don’t want [...]
