and Purposeful Prose
I'd like to introduce you to my adopted siblings, Liam and Jimmy. (Not the Lilliputians on the table.) These two lucky lads still live at home with my parents. I know what you're thinking. Why on earth are these fellas isolating and social distancing? There's a backstory. All good gnomes have a story, right? My [...]
Yesterday was a really bad day for me. My mood was so low as depression washed over me again. I'm still not quite back to myself. When I'm depressed my empathy can really kick into overdrive, so I was grieving for those who are worrying. I can tell when someone is losing hope. It's very [...]
I debated whether to do a "Fight Songs" or a "Freedom Songs" post, but my "Fight Songs" have sort of evolved into "Freedom Songs" as my focus has shifted to resting in God. I guess that also makes them "Flight Songs." Though Fireflight's lyrics are somewhat descretly Christian, they are a Christian rock band. Therefore, [...]
Tea-time Fail I’m waiting for tea The kettle won’t call I forgot to plug it into the wall. Tina S.W. March 15, 2020 Tea Take-two! That’s much better My peace unfettered Tea for Two just can’t be beat Won’t you have a cup with me? Tina S.W March 15, 2020 Taste Test/ Tea Review I [...]
I'll explain the photo for this post at the end. No, this isn't a ploy to get you to read my post. The choice is always yours. One Day (at a time) It's okay to feel It's okay that moods turn grey One day all of our sorrows will be forever wiped away. Tina S.W. [...]
Andrew doesn't like to share. Yes, I'm telling on Him again. He doesn't mind. He's just happy that he gets mentioned. I give him a hard time, but he gets me back. It's how we roll. So far it's a great system. So I ventured into the kitchen to see what he was into. He [...]
Home? "You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart always will be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” <3Meriam Adeney Band Of Brothers Hiding But Not Forgotten Found!

Hope Rises... I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope. <3Psalm 130:5 (NIV) Need to Breathe Need to Breathe has some great stuff. However, this one particular song is really speaking to me. It's moving, but there's one line that confuses me. It's when "Bear" sings, Give me something vicious. [...]
[Competing with Horses] Don't bother telling me to get off my high horse; a determined beast took care of this years ago. I didn't fall off, but it gave me a good fright. I used to be obsessed with these "gentle giants" until one wasn't a fan of the weather and took off for the [...]
This month my dad celebrated his 75th birthday. Well, I celebrated it. He says that he doesn't celebrate birthdays anymore. Store bought again. I really should learn to bake a cake. I'm sure I can do it. One of these days... My grandma baked cakes. When I was a kid I remember her bringing us [...]
