The art of the heart is a music unheard of Sweet song beyond psychology, psychiatry and reason Fire inside The heart has reasons that Reason doesn’t even know Gracing Presence The heart sings with rumbling that few souls hear Purpose
Hutchmoot 2014
After months of silence, I’m back at EvanWeppler.com. Just had a trip to my third Hutchmoot and wanted to write a post- but as I tend to be more wordy and rambling and go on and on (like now), I
Weary
My mind is tired. After almost 20 years of schooling, I’m ready to be done. I joke with the kiddos at church often, saying that I’m in 20th grade, or something along those lines. This is usually followed by: “And
“Be Cool.”
I just want to be loved, be liked, be accepted, “be cool.” I swear, this has been a pursuit for my entire life. “Being Cool– The NeverEnding Quest.” More like “Being Cool– The NeverSatisfying Quest.” ~:~ Heck, let’s be honest–
3 Movies To See- March 2014
So in the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen three fantastic films that I would love to recommend to you, my family and friends. I’m not a great reviewer, but I will do my best to help you get a
In Christ You Are: The Song
Who else learns best through music? Well, as I’m talking about this icur project, I wanted to have a song that represented the themes of our identity in Christ. It’s not perfect… maybe one of these days someone will help
Memories & Objects
Over the years, we’ve had computers, external hard drives, flash drives, thumb drives, CDs, DVDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, Mini-CDs, memory cards, SD cards, MicroSD cards, 3.5 Floppy Disks, Floppy Disks, and more… and now, of course, we have “The Cloud”– or
icur: The What
Teresa, a saint with her love and her doubts, said it best: “We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” Perhaps you and I can’t create a culture of good news, good works, and goodness found in Christ (though isn’t
The Four
It’s somewhat fascinating. What is it about the structure of four that it is so recurring? There are all sorts of different groupings– a duo, a triad, and of course a quartet. I think it’s interesting to look them over
Wilt Thou Forgive?
I found this hymn years ago and loved the lyrics– who hasn’t had these fears and storms within? I put it to new chords and finally made a recording– poor, I know, but I’m happy it’s somewhere other than my
Movies and the Mystery of Camp
I love camp movies. And I hate camp movies. No, I don’t mean “camp” as in “an aesthetic sensibility that regards something as appealing or humorous because of its ridiculousness to the viewer” as Wikipedia puts it (though I do enjoy

icur: The Why
Who are you? We get this question on a daily basis, in word and glance and attitude and within. We answer and identify ourselves by our appearance, our occupation, our age and race and economic status and educational background, where
Try
Yoda said, “Do or do not. There is no try.” I disagree. Sometimes, all you have is try. For “good enough” parents. For cancer patients, living on hope. For the depressed man, mustering all his strength to simply get out
To Be With You… But Who?
The other day I went to a concert at Wheaton featuring the musical talent of the Salvation Army Staff Band (first time for me to hear them!) and one of my favorite musicians, Sara Groves. She sang a few of
come, little brother, et sing again
plaque by the door reads, “CRETUM ET FLORERE“ one step inside et you taste the air fills your lungs, clouds of flora fragrance sticks to your teeth, a gummy residue with every step, senses flooded again et again hues, humidity,
Motivational Babies #5
I created these a few years, combining the “aww” of babies and the “awesome” of motivational quotes. Some are funny, some are serious, and some are just awe inspiring. And some are just stupid. More at http://motivationalbabies.blogspot.com.
Fun Ideas for a Dream Home- Part 2
Welp, it’s time for Part 2. A typical house has four walls, a ceiling and at least one floor, a yard or two and some storage. Within that space, anything can happen if you let yourself dream. What would you

Traveling Companions
It’s Amazing It’s amazing what a difference some time with friends and just a little sleep can make. I am realizing for the millionth time that I need people. I can’t do this alone. I know this to be true,
The Odd Liturgy, Part 4
One of these days, I’m going to show y’all the art of the Odd Liturgy, the little book in which I’ve been inscribing these prayers. The prayer is as much the image as the words… But for now, the words
In Christ You Are…
I have a vision for next year. I honestly want to launch this right now, but there’s this little thing called school– plus work and church and friends and family and home and… Anyway… 2014 January 2014 Get ready. (This
I am like a Tree
A song written ages ago… “I will pour out my spirit on your children and my blessing on your descendants. They will thrive like well-watered grass, like willows by streams of running water.” Isaiah 44 ~:~ I am like a
