and Purposeful Prose
I wrote this poem below back in October. I thought that I had deleted it as I felt that it was too depressing. I'm generally a positive person, but I do have my struggles, and I can hide how I've been feeling. When I reconnected with the friend that I mentioned in "Peace Talks" I [...]
Alright, I can prove that there's English in my blood despite the fact that my husband insists that I'm more Irish and Scottish. This is likely due to the fact that His "da's" ancestory is Scottish. Leuk! Ah cannae speak like that! I can't do accents. When I described this post to Andrew, I tried [...]
My mentor always said that he was a supremely blessed man. This doesn’t mean that he didn't have his heartaches. He had his frustrations, grievances and hardships too. He had it all, but he endured it all with the hope and joy that He found in Jesus. This is one of the things that I [...]
Gentleness takes patience; It's aims to be kind; It prays without ceasing; it loses it's pride; It knows we're all flesh, so It looks for others best. These things it rejoices in. In God it abides. Gentleness is thoughtful; It chooses words wisely; it doesn't rush in with sword raised high; It was taught that [...]
I wasn't sure what sort of image I wanted to use for this post, but when I saw this one, it was an immediate "Yes, that’s the one!" It made me laugh. "Talking around the water cooler" comes to my mind. Photo credit goes to pixabay user aitoff. To be honest, I've been struggling to [...]
This was it. The big day was upon her. Though she had clocked many hours, and studied hard she was convinced that she was going to fail her drivers exam. She ferociously bit her nails as she waited for the instructor, and her knees knocked something fierce. She just couldn't sit still. To be fair, [...]
It's a peaceful word Yet I struggle to rest As I lean on my understanding And what I believe is best It's a reassuring word No, we don't have to fret Yet I find myself weary From this match that I've met Why do I wrestle? Why do I fight? Why don't I surrender? And [...]
I believe it's a blessingYet it feels like a curseOh how I hate to see anyone hurtFor I've been there tooI know those sad tunesAnd those dreary melancholy views. But I know there's still joyFor I've also known graceWhen the world turns greyHe doesn't turn awayHe's forever and always the Rock who won't change. So [...]
Whaaaaaat? Why am I only now discovering Simon Khoroliskiy!? My first thought was, This is different, I think I like it! After listening to a few more pieces I decided, No, I love this! He's amazing! I then immediately had to introduce my husband to Simon's work. Andrew's response was, He's singing in Klingon. (Lol) [...]
I'm trying to bee more EnglishAs I take my afternoon teaIt's the simple things that make life sweetThey are perfect gifts that make life complete. I'm dreaming of an English landscapeWhere daffodils seem to grow wildAnd a yard is called a gardenAs it was in the beginning--before the world went wild! I'm imagining a pretty [...]
