and Purposeful Prose
The third time's the charm? Yes, charm sounds about right. When I came across this video I knew it wasn't a coincidence that there was a woodland flower as I'd written in my poem [Woodland Flower.] What are the odds that the words of this song would also start with "I'm waking up"… just as [...]
It's okay not to feel okay. These words are just as much for me as they are for anyone else who is struggling right now. There are a lot of really strong people doing a lot of great and brave things right now, and to be honest it makes me feel so inadequate. I was [...]
To write or not to write, that is the question. Should I start the week off with something in my drafts, some poetry, or should I write about my week? Okay, let's start with where I am. That's a good place to start, right? For the most part April was a better than normal month [...]
So much for see you Monday! (lol) I have to share this song! It's TOO good not to share. Trading Yesterday has other great pieces that are so worth sharing, and I may have to gather some and give them more of a spotlight, but for now this song has won my heart. Not as [...]
I’m proud to say that Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK) is a Canadian Christian rock/ hard rock band. We’ll keep these boys! They’re top notch. Trevor McNevan is a rocker who likes to mix things up. TFK can be both very raucous, but also soft. Sometimes they even throw some rap in there. Personally I love [...]
Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Imagine what it must have been like to be a part of this monumental historic event from crucifixion to resurrection. First there was an angry mob who demanded Jesus' crucifixion; then grief for many as Jesus hung upon the cross—His body pierced and bleeding. After Jesus' death [...]
The photo for this post is the Eagle Nebula. 😃 Amazing, huh? Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com userWikiImages. However, credit for the creation of the heavens goes to Jesus . It's time for some musical motivation. First were my "Fight Songs." Then came "Freedom Songs." The two have merged to become "F(l)ight Songs." Fight combined [...]
It's easier to forget my own troubles I trust You, Lord I know You're there. But what about their struggles? Their anxieties? I know You're good I know You care It's easiest to believe that I'll be okay I know You, Lord In You there's peace But what about their fears? Their worries? How will [...]
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, [...]
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. [...]
