and Purposeful Prose
One foggy morning I went out to experience a view of the world in it's hazy state. It really was beautiful. Especially by the river. That's when I caught a glimpse of something new. Something white and hair-like had formed on the bark of some Aspen trees. As I touched it with my gloved hand [...]
How do you begin again when it feels as if you’ve been such an off and on blogger for the last couple of years? *blushes* How do you take that leap of faith that this time will be the time you finally get back into the groove of things? I want to blog again. Very [...]
Spring is springing! Life is bursting forth once again as the daffodils sway in the wind and cherry blossoms turn tree tops pink, soon to carpet the earth. As cherry blossom's bloom-time is short, so too life in these bodies has its time limit. But God's word remains, unchanging, always faithful, true and life giving. [...]
And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”Mark 1:17 (ESV) Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.

Whether it's an old leaf or a new one I have a passion for all things tree. 🌳 That ball of fuzz is a banded wooly bear caterpillar. In late Spring it will emerge from its cocoon an Isabella tiger moth. And now back to leaves and trees.... 🍃🌳 Jesus, our Lord and God, weaved [...]
Hello, I've missed you. I've missed all of you. Life does take some twists, turns and detours doesn’t it? Yes, it does. However, I've truly been missing writing, reading and fellowship. Therefore, I'm aiming to start blogging again once a week. Wednesday sounds like a plan! Consider this my return to blogging. On the 23rd [...]
I’ve never had a fear of flying. However, I did experience some anxiety my first, and only, time on an airplane. As the plane lifted off the ground I spontaneously reacted with tears. Up until that moment I’d never given it too much thought because my eyes were on the prize: the destination and who [...]
This isn't a great photo. I was trying to traipse across a neighbors yard as little as possible. Based on my title, perhaps you're thinking "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" A bit of philosophy on observation and perception. Or maybe [...]
