and Purposeful Prose
Stay Hopeful. Yes, I am telling myself this too. I have two songs by Ryan Stevenson. I'll let the rest say the rest. Sometimes you have to let someone else do the talking. "The LORD is my strength and my song. He is my savior." Psalm 118:14 The Best is Yet to Come https://youtu.be/3frQkfgejDk "Some [...]
I was sitting out under the magnolia tree one night thinking. One of my best friends likes to sit under an apple tree. I've been meaning to offer a warning about the dangers of sitting under fruit trees. Just ask Sir Issac Newton. On the bright side, Sir Newton did learn something. It only took [...]
Sky High Sighs How many times can she sigh sky high? Okay that’s just silly This must be some "parboiled poetry" Truly Really Why do my stupid poems make me laugh? Especially when this car's out of gas? Must be the fumes. Tina S.W September 7, 2020 September Wind It swept through her hair like [...]
You hung the stars. How could I forget? In Your hands there is wisdom There is power in Your breath. You took such care As you planned our days You counted the stars And called each by name. We're never adrift Your love is eternal It’s so lovingly written in the skies above. How great [...]
It's BEEn a while since any bees have made an appearance on my blog. Bees are important; they help trees to bear fruit. Here are some photos that I've taken over the years of these fuzzy fliers. The bee facts were sourced from Ontariohoney.ca "Bees have five eyes - two compound eyes and three tiny [...]
Don't be afraid to look ahead Don’t be afraid to dream There's still hope in the unseen. Maybe you can't see it with your eyes Maybe you're caught up in all of the lies But in hope we'll see We'll realize The future bests the days behind. Don't be afraid to take a chance There's [...]

When I'm trying to move forward But it seems I'm standing still Lord, help me to remember that I can trust Your sovereign will. When I don’t understand Lord, help me to take Your hand I don’t want [...]
Nothing went as planned last Saturday. I don't know if it was because I was overtired--not having had enough sleep--but one failed attempt at making the best of this day, after another, sent me back to bed in tears. It feels so stupid. I felt ridiculous. First I couldn’t connect with Jesus. Then I couldn't [...]
Sunday I woke very early at around 4:30. When this happens I try listening to music or I may do some reading or writing, but by the time the alarm goes off I'm feeling so sleepy. So Sunday morning I ended up going back to sleep until about 1:30 when I got up, made myself [...]
