and Purposeful Prose
I wrote this back in February. I almost threw out the baby with the bathwater again! It isn't that this piece is unpromising… It's just that it's still in progress. I added some up to date thoughts at the end. --- February 2020, *Groan* Last Thursday I stood in the kitchen and let out my [...]
And don't come back another day... If I'm honest I just want to hide I don't know what to say anymore And I don't want to hear anymore Not what God has to say Just what the world keeps murmuring It's too overwhelming I don't know which way to turn To God, of course, but… [...]
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 world is a treacherous place," She bemoaned. "Don't you walk in the Light?" He reminded her. You have my hand. Just hold on tight." "I don't loath trials, Lord, but I'm scared of tests.

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. [...]
I lost it last night. I don't know what happened. I believed what I wrote in "Rest." I believed that I was doing better and that I would find that balance, but then I lost it. Something that disappointed me came to mind. Unfortunately, I've kind of got stuck on analyzing everything. I wanted to [...]
First up, I'll give you the scoop on my plans that didn't pan out. February 14-17 was the Great Backyard Bird Count here in Canada. I've never done this before, but I was going to give it a shot. When the 14th arrived I peered out our window to see not a single winged thing [...]
