Tulip Tree "Time-lapse" The Tulip Tree is problaby more commonly known as the Saucer Magnolia, but Tulip Tree fit better into my trio of "T" words. Plus, my mother-in-law always refers to it as such, so I like it. This was a really good exercise in patience! These guys take their time. Not a whole [...]
Steeping We're in hot water Hold on a little longer God’s patiently waiting for us to get stronger. Tina S.W. April 4, 2020 Another Cup When my cup is empty, Lord, fill me up You are my portion The one I love For in Your presence there is fullness of joy When my cup runneth [...]
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 [...]
It's a battle It's a war But you can't see the arrows And you can't see the swords It cuts to the bone and marrow It divides a house and home It rips apart a family It leaves you feeling alone But we don't fight against flesh and blood But against the rulers and authorities [...]

I debated whether to do a "Fight Songs" or a "Freedom Songs" post, but my "Fight Songs" have sort of evolved into "Freedom Songs" as my focus has shifted to resting in God. I guess that also makes them "Flight Songs." Though Fireflight's lyrics are somewhat descretly Christian, they are a Christian rock band. Therefore, [...]

"You're My Recovery."Fireflight/Core of my Addiction On Tuesday I was filled with hope and discouragement at the same time. How is that even possible? I was hopeful because I was believing that I'd be okay, but discouraged because somewhere along the way I got off track and a little lost. This saddened me. So I [...]
It's not my fault. Andrew made me do it. (No, he didn't make me go insane.) He said that I need to get back to blogging. And not because he wants me out of his hair. He says that he would prefer to keep me all to himself but I need to write. As he [...]
