It will be all on the local news so we shall catch the highlights then. We, on the other hand are heading in the opposite direction to do some errands. Should be not too bad that way.
We are done and done when it comes to our spring cleaning which I am very pleased about.
So all in all a great spring cleaning and everything is where we want it once more.
Now onto the second of the two book series that I mentioned last week.
'“And a sword will pierce your own soul, too.”
The meaning of those prophetic words to Mary are now painfully clear as Jesus’s journey to the cross begins. Told from the perspective of five individuals—a priest, former tax collector, two fugitives, and daughter of a Jewish rebel—Swords in the Desert follows Jesus through the Gospel of Luke’s harrowing final twelve chapters.
As the shadow of the cross looms ever closer, these intertwined stories unfold with stunning vividness, revealing the human cost of divine sacrifice. Experience the cultural tensions, political intrigue, and spiritual warfare that defined first-century Judea in ways you've never imagined.
Swords in the Desert doesn't just retell the greatest story ever told—it plunges you into the hearts and minds of those who witnessed it firsthand. From the anguish of Gethsemane to the triumph of the empty tomb, this novel allows you to experience familiar stories with fresh perspectives and emotional depths. This powerful retelling will challenge your understanding and deepen your faith.'
Really well written and very thought-provoking. I very much enjoyed the pair of them. Getting them through BookBub didn't hurt either. Very much worth the read.
And so that was the week, mostly cleaning and some errands but spring cleaning is done - woohoo.
This quote had me thinking about this and how true it is -
We really didn't know.
Have a lovely weekend whatever you get up to.
It sounds like you had a pretty productive Friday the 13th, even if it meant navigating around all the motorcycle festivities! It's smart to head the opposite direction for errands when Port Dover is buzzing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting all your spring cleaning done! It's totally understandable to spread it out over a few days now, and it's great that you're able to take your time with it. The most important thing is that it's done and you're happy with how everything looks.
That book series sounds incredibly powerful and thought-provoking. "Swords in the Desert" sounds like it offers a truly unique perspective on a familiar story, and it's always a win when you find something so well-written and meaningful, especially through BookBub!
It sounds like a successful week overall with the cleaning wrapped up and a great read to dive into! (((BIG HUGS)))
Thank you, and yes the books were amazing right up there with the book about Eve. This is a new area of books that I found through Bookbub and I am really loving them. Huge hugs back
