and Purposeful Prose
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. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation. I understand [...]

Look at the colours! Fallen leaves can be so lovely. Every season has it's signs that change is coming. The Lesson of the Fig Tree “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near." Matthew 24:32 Jesus: A Sign that [...]
You're going to have to take a really close look at the photo below. Can you see the bee leaving? I think it looks as if he lept off the flower rather than flew off of it. He is taking a leap of faith! 😀 How about you, are you "bee leaving" too? And Jesus [...]
