They grow around the homes of all the land Silent music! Daffodils, roses that stand Like pink sweet girls--music to see The growing of beautiful melody! Flowers are the music of the ground From earth's lips spoken without sound; Flowers are as music, silent, deep Oxlyps, marigolds, music men keep In pots and vases, beds… Continue reading Flower Songs

Bathroom Remodel
This is what it looked like on move-in day. Now, I'm not against red bathrooms... but I am against small, windowless, red bathrooms. I went in, closed the door, and felt like I was in a heart chamber. Bleh. Step 1: remove the mirror and patch up the wall as needed (free- $5) Step 2:… Continue reading Bathroom Remodel

Fix your eyes on Jesus
“Let us run with endurance the race...” Having thrown out sin and the weight of unwise things, we must continue.

How much am I hindered because I want ease or comfort or sin more than embracing the… Continue reading Fix your eyes on Jesus
