and Purposeful Prose
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 [...]
Mental unwellness It's a tide that makes life bleak It's a struggle The constant juggle Emotions like waves of the sea Anxiety, guilt, and grief Low moods and high water Life can feel like a teeter-totter Where's the balance? Where's the peace? Sometimes tears are a release But then it begins again Driving me round [...]
A Google search can reveal a lot. However, it isn't always true. Nevertheless, this saying is true: don't believe everything you hear. I wanted to know who said knowledge is power. According to Wikipedia it is commonly attributed to Sir Frances Bacon, but there is no known occurrence of this exact phrase in his English [...]

Thoughts left unspoken, however, can become overwhelming if we stay there alone. I know what Scripture says. I shouldn’t be anxious for [...]
Too long I've been grounded Lord, where are my wings? Please teach me of Your glory Until my heart sings. May my wings then unfold Lift me high in the air When I'm down on my knees Lord, please meet me there. Too long I've been grounded Lord, where are my wings? Please teach me [...]
On Thursday Morning I was a bit slow to rise. Ever been there? Ever felt so battle weary and discouraged that you struggle to rise to your feet? I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark that I'm not the only one. Nevertheless, here's a lovely bit of encouraging push: Those who trust [...]
