đł Lil Treasures #131: Falling Trees and Punching a Founding Father
We're talking Beyoncé and Ranch Water
Well friends, itâs been a heck of a week over here. Keeping it short and sweet because we are up to our ears in insurance claims and chainsaws after two trees fell on our house (mainly our deck and fence and a little bit of the roof) and I do not have it in me this week. I hope your weekend is really great and involves exactly zero trees falling on your place of residency. Thankful that weâre all safe, but man itâs a hassle we definitely did not plan on dealing with this summer.
I canât wait to read your treasures in the comments, hopefully with the power back on, sipping some sort of fruity drink and not attempting to move a giant tree off our deck. Cheers, beloveds!
Letâs do the treasures!
đ„ Itâs two million degrees outside and Euna Maeâs no-recipe salad with cantaloupe and prosciutto really hits the spot for that cold cold lunch!
đ BeyoncĂ© decided to announce the release of her new album in the middle of the frickin night last night and the internet is essentially losing their s-word. Itâs been 6 years and July 29th canât get here soon enough! Queen Bey knew we needed this album! She knew.
đȘïž Our beloved Sister Beth had a birthday this week! After so many years of providing incredible teaching and insight, she continues to gift us with truth bombs like in this entire thread.
đ Itâs Pride Month! This week in The Swipe Up+ we just started a series about affirming theology (with Scripture to accompany these thoughts). If you are looking for a safe space to ask your questions, I hope youâll consider being a part of the conversation!
And as a reminder, I never want the paywall to be a hindrance or to stop you from joining, so if youâve been on the fence because of that please send Hannah and I an email at hello@erinhmoon.com and we will get you all set up! đ
Weâve got the good Tweets!
This tweet was submitted by Sarah Stewart Holland, who asked if she could receive a ribbon if it was chosen. No ribbons, only the joy that will flood your heart when you see your choice placed here in the weekly pantheon.
This one is hitting wayyyyyyy to close to home right now.
May your weekends be filled with trees that stay exactly where they are! See you in the comments, friends!
Hi, Swipes. New here. Late, but that's better than never, right?
Grateful to be part of this community. I'm trying to find an equally hilarious, open minded, Jesus-forward, righteously passionate group IRL, and as I continue to search for and cultivate that where I am, I'm so glad this exists online. The internet is a weird and wonderful thing.
I am curious to know if anyone has recommendations for a place to go for scriptural/spiritual guidance for those in a season of weariness? Maybe anything specifically geared toward caretakers? I find myself staring at my metaphorical compassion & empathy bucket and finding it empty after/during a long, stretching season of being in the trenches both personally... and nationally... and globally... (gah, I'm tired of everything feeling like a dumpster fire *insert upside down smiley face emoji*).
Should anyone see this and have a suggestion, I'm ready to receive. Thank you in advance. Hugs.
It's supposed to dip down to a balmy 99 here over the weekend, so I will be trying to get me and the dog walking outside in the mornings after a lazy couple of weeks on that front. Had a week this week of "you can't please everyone" at work after struggling to keep up with appointments, having people get mad at the wait time when they were told at the beginning what the wait time would be, having people complain about our prices because we dare to charge for our services (I work for a non-profit vet clinic - our prices are as low as they can go), plus a very frustrating surgery day. So anyway, I'm gonna go eat my takeout and catch up on Star Trek. May your a/c be efficient and the weather gods grant you cloud cover.
