and Purposeful Prose
Lord, the world is so full of beautiful things The sights and sounds of all that life brings How quickly we adore created things Before the one who brought all into being. Lord help us to remember what must come first Bind our hearts to Yours and teach us to thirst For the things that [...]
Today I had a fight with technology. It's a fight I know well. We have a love hate relationship. Printers are so great when they print. When they are uncooperative, however, the hair pulling is inevitable. I was going to get my bloodwork done today. To be fair, I should have printed my lab requisition [...]
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 [...]
I wondered if I should title this one "Organize." My thoughts are so all over the place. It feels as if my heart is all over the place too. I'm scrambling this morning for what kind of photo to use for this post! Ever been there? Oh, I already have a photo. Never mind! However, [...]
