and Purposeful Prose
Sometimes faith feels like a battle upon the sea. I can succumb to really negative thinking patterns. These are definitely waves to me. If I don't get into a more positive thinking rhythm I can quickly start to sink like a stone as hope fades. Joy soon follows. Scripture tells us to take our thoughts [...]
Little things can become big things and big things can become little things. It's all a matter of perspective, right? Where is your heart? What means the most to you? For the Christian Faith Comes First. We can look at the little picture and we can look at the bigger picture. I want to look [...]
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?

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 [...]
Years ago (many years ago) I wrote a poem called "My life as a Tree." This poem was written before I ever knew Jesus. It was quite depressing and not at all hopeful. I must have tossed it out for this very reason. Life wasn't so funny at the time, but now (even when I'm [...]
Is less more or is more more? Perhaps it's neither here nor there? This feels as if it's going to be a philosophical tea tasting. Is there such a thing? Has it ever been done? I don't know, but I'm not a philosopher so it won't be done today. Now what? So my mint tea [...]
