A little of this and that...: August 2013

http://schweersmomshouse.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Tuesday, August 13, 2013. The Sounds of Silence. Sitting in my favorite chair in the den, the only sounds I currently hear are the dishwasher and the washing machine. No loud music on someone's stereo. No laughing at brother's inside jokes. It's become a little summer ritual at my house for both boys to take leisurely afternoon siestas. But I'm a bit melancholy about this new "normal" that's about to commence in ...

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. That you will know. Well, I had some more thoughts. I did the lesson and thought and thought and thought.how in the world does this apply to me? Or does it even apply to me? The answer is that yes, there is an application I can glean from these crazy action sermons because they tell me something about God. (No really they do.). Then you will know that I am the LORD.". We took a little...

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Monday, October 15, 2012. The Growing Pains of Progress. Photo: Joe Sohm/The Image Works. After close to 4 years of watching the construction of various parts of the downtown area, I will miss seeing what's new to the cityscape. But it hasn't been without growing pains. The exit I used to take to get to his school is now completely gone. The cool tower of apartments is causing some issues with the museum's outdoo...

A little of this and that...: The Desert of Preparation

http://schweersmomshouse.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-desert-of-preparation.html

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Friday, March 21, 2014. The Desert of Preparation. I had the privilege and immense blessing to travel to Israel for the third time in February. Having been twice before, I truly thought that it would be fun, but nothing new. I am so glad I was wrong. The narrow road leading into the Desert of Preparation near the Jericho Road. You can see a stone-lined path where the Jericho Road winds it way through the desert.

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Thursday, July 30, 2015. I'm blogging over at Blackbirds and Wildflowers. Stop by and visit sometime! I needed a fresh start. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A happily married mom of 2 boys and a dog who thinks he's my boy and serving up a little of this and that from my life in suburbia. View my complete profile. All I really need is a little love, but a little chocolate every now and then doesn't hurt!

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Monday, July 21, 2014. The back of the door on the empty tomb (not original, of course). I don't know if that is the exact spot of the Biblical account of Jesus' resurrection as told by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Most scholars think that it is not. Whether it is or it isn't, it's still a very special and holy spot that brings me peace and joy each time I have visited. Our communion in the garden. I guess it ju...

A little of this and that...: Sour and (Bitter)Sweet

http://schweersmomshouse.blogspot.com/2014/01/sour-and-bittersweet.html

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Thursday, January 02, 2014. 2013 was at times quite sweet and at other times a bit sour. The first part of the year was what used to be my normal definition of "busy." My younger son was finishing his last year of high school, so there was always a concert to go to, clothes to wash, Bible study to attend, meals to cook and normal life to live (if there is such a thing as "normal"). My husband and I had time to en...

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Tuesday, April 08, 2014. A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes. And I realized I had stopped dreaming. I couldn't think of a single dream I had any more. I almost wept as I drove past the lush patches of Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes on I-45. My life has become all about what's practical and reasonable. Maybe I need to allow myself to dream a bit. Even if it's not about a lime green Mercedes. A Dream is a Wish...

Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. Monday, December 03, 2012. Grumblings and steadfast love. I was musing over a Psalm at lunch today. I was actually listening to a podcast that included a reading of Psalm 136 - which for some reason seemed to hit me differently than if I had been reading it silently to myself. Or loving. I mean, during this time the Israelites complained. They grumbled. They whined. They wanted to go back to Egypt...What I imagin...
