and Purposeful Prose
This is a little add on to my "The Sound of Rain" post. Andrew and I watched Louie Anderson's comedy act last night. When Louie got to the bit about rain I told Andrew that I needed to look this one up on Youtube. It's the perfect offset. Accepting Jesus' authority doesn't mean that life [...]
Maybe you've heard it too often The sound of falling rain Perhaps it's left you longing For sunshine once again. But oh the sound of falling rain To me it's still a sweet refrain Maybe you're caught in the deluge And it's a struggle to hear the sweet song I understand the pain there When [...]
One of my biggest problems is patience. I can be quite patient with people, but when it comes to personal progress, especially when I feel that progress is sloth slow, I'm not so patient. Don't even get me started on set backs or feeling as if I'm going in circles. Most of my problems stem [...]
Accepting awards makes me bashful, and I wanted to avoid them, but I can't because people are too kind when they nominate me. So here it goes. I first owe Alicia a humble thank you for her Mystery Blogger Award nomination that I tried to side step. 😬 She's a lovely, down to earth person [...]
This one is going to be a bit journal entry-ish. It hasn't been the most productive week. At least that's the way I've felt. Fatigue was an ongoing theme this week, so I was down for naps quite a bit. However, mentally I fared okay. My mood was fairly even, but I did have one [...]
Faith and patience go hand in hand. It takes time for things to grow. Thankfully God doesn't leave us unattended. He remains our gardener and He is with us always. Those who believe in Jesus as their Master Gardner recieve the Holy Spirit who helps us to understand Scripture, comforts us, teaches us and gives [...]
...we all scream for icecream. And then fries! On the weekend we took a drive to the Dairy Queen... Last night Andrew was teasing me as he grabbed his icecream from the freezer and sat down to enjoy the last of it. He says to me, Here I am still nursing this icecream and then [...]
It's no big deal? She wishes this were true Tell this to her battle When she's lost and she's confused Tell this to her mountains When the rocks keep coming loose Tell this to her heart When it's battered and abused. It's no big deal? She wishes it were so Tell this to her giants [...]
The best step that I've taken in these last couple of months was when I dropped my Sunday post. Shortly after this I decided I wouldn't read blogs on weekends as well. This has been really good for me. It's given me a chance to shut out all distractions and simply listen. One weekend I [...]
I considered sparing you this last bit of romance, but then I thought, Hey, why not ?When you're hot you're hot. Well... the tea is always hot anyways. Me: Would you like some tea? Andrew: Yes. My cup is over here. Me: Oh, where's the lid? Andrew: I don't know. It didn't have one. That's [...]
