The Schneider Web: They Came Home
http://theschneiderweb.blogspot.com/2011/07/they-came-home.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. Trust me. That pillow did not return from Boy Scout camp that color. Neither did the Boy Scout shirts. Neither did the boys. They came home a dingy shade of brown. Can't believe Boy Scout khaki can get any dingier? It can. Trust me. They came home responsible. I found myself reminding them of things they already did. Did you get the stuff out of the car? I already did mom. Have you unpacked your packs yet? I already did mom. Did you call your dad? They came home affectionate. Evan ...

The Schneider Web: December 2010
http://theschneiderweb.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 20, 2010. It was supposed to rain. It did. The weatherman was right this time. But my friend just said, “Bring an umbrella.”. Years ago I remember having caroling parties. It was tradition for us back then, too. It was my heart to bless my neighbors with truth and love and music and it was so much fun to be with my friends. I hoped for some of that tonight and I got it in spades. Spades, I tell you! I say Let it Rain. Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Merry Peopling to You. Yes, bring Joy.

Friday, January 29, 2010. Perplexed, she looked at me and uttered, “Since when do you worry about what other people think? I’ve had that part of the conversation running in my head for almost 2 years. I don’t know. Since that conversation with a most trusted friend, I’ve been getting back to all I know to be true. It’s hard to see the grand scheme from the valley, the lay of the land is deceiving. How far is that mountain peak? How big is it really? Is that snow or granite? Is that the highest point?

Sunday, June 27, 2010. Rhapsody on a Theme from Princess Bride or The Happiness Project, Scene 1. 8220;My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”. That’s not what I meant. How about this one? 8220;I do not think it means what you think it means.”. That’s not it either. 8220;He’s not dead. He’s only mostly dead.”. Know any dead people? I’m reading the Happiness Project. What might make me a happier person? What choices do I have to increase my happiness? My girlfriend, Kristy. A bles...

The Schneider Web: April 2010
http://theschneiderweb.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 23, 2010. My Super D Duper friend over at Adoptyuen. Blogged recently about the Sabbath. Interesting. Old ways. Even when we think we “get it” we often don’t. Not for very long. Real change is really hard. One of my favorite all time sayings, and if you’ve known me very long you’ve heard me say it more than once: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Do we think doing the same thing over and over will work? Why are we prone to wander, Lord? You h...

The Schneider Web: August 2011
http://theschneiderweb.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 26, 2011. 5 Things About Me. Inspired by my inspiring friend, Robin over at Knitting Peace. I’m hitching a ride on her always authentic blog post 5 Things About Me. But let me start with the fact that my 5 Things are the SAME as HER 5 things and maybe that’s why I like Robin! I talk too much. I may be menopausal. A few months ago, I logged my longest period ever. 2 weeks. Give or take. TMI. So sorry, but that and the night sweats are impairing my judgment. I cook because I have to. I was w...

The Schneider Web: January 2011

Wednesday, January 19, 2011. There is something wonderful about NEW. It's a great word, isn't it? What comes to mind? What about WONDERFUL. Full of wonder. Is one of my faves of the blogosphere. She went looking for the Word of The Year in her My Word blog post. What word, if you can claim one, says it for you? What word describes where you are at? What word expresses your heart in this cold, January season of hope, promise and future? An entire year is ahead of you. can you describe it in a word? Aren't...

The Schneider Web: March 2011
http://theschneiderweb.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. It’s Been a Whale. We’ve been bogged down with LIFE; in a good way. It’s full. This speech thing my kids are doing is sucking the life right out of me on one end and filling me up with a fire hose on the other end. It’s hard to ponder and wonder about things when you are just in the middle of the fun. It’s a great time to just go with the flow. However, God has brought to my attention a guy in the Bible who didn’t go with the flow. Jonah. Am I angry at God? He is swallowed by a fi...

The Schneider Web: November 2010

Friday, November 19, 2010. Extra Especially Blessed Brag Blog. We had a marathon day in Fresno yesterday. 15 hrs. Grande. I woke this morning with a spring in my step because the adrenalin from a God crafted blessing is still running in my veins. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for coming to see the show! A bit from Zach’s Youth Choir at People’s School for Creative Arts. I don’t know. but it’s FUN! Evan’s Concert Choir practices are only once a week for 2 hrs. It blows my mind t...Okay, i...
