and Purposeful Prose
Image by alteredego from Pixabay Recently, I needed to revisit Jesus’ words on becoming like little children. As a tired Early Childhood Educator (specializing in Infants and Toddlers) I can forget why God wants us to become like little children! Perhaps it’s time you had a refresher course on our role in the kingdom of [...]
Image by Christian Crämer from Pixabay Ever feel a bit lost in the woods like Frozen 2's Kristoff? I definitely do at times. I can also forget that I'm never truly alone in the wilderness. When I’m tired, however, I may misunderstand (or misread) biblical terms, such as confusing the kingdom of heaven with our [...]
Image by Trần Anh from Pixabay Let me ask you a question: have you ever experienced something too coincidental to be explained simply as chance? Has a sudden event—maybe even something you’ve read or heard—given you the profound sense that you were seen, heard, and cared for? Perhaps so much so that you knew, in [...]

I know. It's not a very impressive planter, is it? However, it's a symbol of hope. Let me explain why. I received these flowers from our church on Mother’s Day. I'm not a mother, but it's so nice that they include women who haven't given birth to their own. Many women act as (or like) [...]
Image by Adriano Gadini from Pixabay Please pray for me. I have become sick the last 3 days of my practicum and couldn't complete it. I contacted the college and told them that I have to be symptom free to return. (That is if they will allow me to return for those last 20 hours. [...]
Andrew affectionately named her “Princess Mittens.” Her big white paws and outgoing personality won us over immediately. Unfortunately her visit was short, but it was very sweet. One evening, as we sat watching T.V., I heard what I thought was a meow. I asked Andrew if he'd heard it too, then we both listened. Sure [...]
For a time I regretted naming her Grace. This is one of two cat tales that lead to the adoption of our own two kitties. Originally, we referred to her as Scruffy-Cat. She always looked a little disheveled. At first glance the darker markings on her face made her look like a feral street cat. [...]
It was January 8, 2020 when I first posted on this blog. I had branched out from my original WP blog intending to start one for recreational and creative purposes. It wasn't long before I realized that I was so entwined with God that I couldn't be separated into layers (so easily), as you might [...]
