another something: Talk on Psalm 131 and Anxiety
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/03/talk-on-psalm-131-and-anxiety.html
Saturday, March 29, 2014. Talk on Psalm 131 and Anxiety. I’m the ill ease that you feel when you walk into a crowded room. You know, the hot and cold flushes that confuse you when you’re already confused enough. I am the one that raises the whip to your already racing heart. I am the tightening of your chest, the snowballing worries that feel like they might become an avalanche and just bury you in an instant. My friend, I am the obsessive and compulsive. You might have seen this ad on TV. Even for those...

another something: A second speaker's spot in church
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-second-speakers-spot-in-church.html
Saturday, June 14, 2014. A second speaker's spot in church. Unless you've had your eyes shut and your ears blocked, you'll be aware that there's much conflict round the webs at the moment over the issue of whether it can be appropriate for women to sometimes give sermons in church. I don't want to join one side or another here. I'm looking for some common ground and I want to propose a possible way forward. 1 Church would go on for too long. If the minister spoke for 25 minutes, the kids talk went for 5 ...

another something: Ten thoughts on doomsday preppers (as presented in National Geographic documentaries)
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/04/ten-thoughts-on-doomsday-preppers-as.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. Ten thoughts on doomsday preppers (as presented in National Geographic documentaries). In the last couple of days I've been watching some 'prepper' documentaries on youtube. They're a fascinating mix of clever and stupid, inspiring and insane. Here are some thoughts. 1 I think I'd prefer to spend my kitchen time doing prepper food prep than normal family meal prep. 2 None of the preppers ever felt they had enough food. 3 Preppers have cool gear and make cool gadgets. One guy think...

another something: fto
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/08/fto.html
Saturday, August 9, 2014. When our kids were babies and toddlers, I remember speaking with other mums about 'First Time Obedience' and how it was a desirable thing that our children do as we ask first time, without question, complaint or delay. Fourteen and a half years into the parenting gig, the concept of FTO seems, well. odd. Do I want our kids to be obedient? Overall, yes. Do I want them to hop to my command just because I command it? Is FTO something ever spoken of now? Some of the blogs I look at.

another something: Three more Easter songs for littlies
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/02/three-more-easter-songs-for-littlies.html
Thursday, February 13, 2014. Three more Easter songs for littlies. These ones are less annoying than the ones I posted yesterday. 1 I’m a Little Chicken. Tune: I’m a little teapot - adapted from something I found online somewhere.). I’m a little chicken ready to hatch. Peck at my shell and scratch scratch scratch. When I crack it open out I’ll peep. Fluff my feathers, cheep cheep cheep. 2 Five Easter Buns. Finger play almost exactly the same as 'Five Currant Buns'). Round and fat with a cross on the top.

another something: This is?
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/07/this-is.html
Saturday, July 26, 2014. Humanity at its richest,. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some of the blogs I look at. The key to the door. Something this foggy day. Something more seemed promised. On the edge of ordinary. No reading at the breakfast table. Musings on public policy and governance. Dimonds in the bush. Federal state internation local - I dont care. 1 Samuel kids talk. Dont close your eyes. Fruit of the spirit. How stupid are we presbyterians. I can cope without the internet. Really I can.

another something: North Queensland Christian Convention
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/06/north-queensland-christian-convention.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. North Queensland Christian Convention. What a fantastic weekend! Wish I could do it all over again. 1 Getting to make music with some excellent people and to see and hear the congregation enjoying singing so much. 2 Learning from Rick Lewers as he took us through the Joseph narratives. Good story telling. Solid theological applications. 4 Feeling so thankful to God for his grace and revved up to live for him. 5 Knowing that it's on again next year! Bigger and (maybe) even better!

another something: On Mali and Love
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/08/on-mali-and-love.html
Thursday, August 7, 2014. On Mali and Love. Inspired by our pup Mali who makes more mess in the house than the rest of us put together.]. On Mali and Love. I tell her ‘stop’ but she can’t comprehend. She chews my socks and rips apart the trees. I sew and sweep - it costs to have a friend. Can love be rich if it comes to us for free? We sit outside and argue, sipping tea. Mali barks, you frown and I defend. Her right to talk and yell incessantly. The price of joy, so, like us, overspends.). I love my macb...

another something: Prayer for the unsteady
http://simone1975.blogspot.com/2014/08/prayer-for-unsteady.html
Sunday, August 3, 2014. Prayer for the unsteady. To stay stable at sea they say. You must look to the horizon. But I am tossed,. Jerked from agony to torture. I cannot silence the screaming in my ears! Cannot catch my thoughts to pin them. Devoured from without,. Eyes darting every way. August 3, 2014 at 10:22 PM. I cant help thinking of Oscar Wilde. COME down, O Christ, and help me! Reach thy hand,. For I am drowning in a stormier sea. Than Simon on thy lake of Galilee:. Some of the blogs I look at.
