The Weekly Svithe

Like chocolate from heaven (a svithe)

chocolate

.

Today only (TODAY ONLY!), appreciatethedarkness.com is giving away their high-end chocolate free to anyone who registers at their site.

The problem is that the site is overwhelmed with hits and I can't get on.

The svithe here is that God never gets overwhelmed by prayer.

I think I'll go pray about a nice 70% bar right now.....

What is a svithe?

The word svithe is a portmanteau made by combining seven and tithe--the idea being that one day in the week, this blogger devotes himself to what he hopes is a higher sort of something.

With time, this original meaning has been broadened to something more like this:

A blogpost which is a) spiritually themed, b) on a blog generally not so wholly focused on spiritual things, and c) called a svithe.

Katya's definition:

svithe, n.

blend of seven and tithe

A Sunday blog post of a religious nature.
Any post on a religious (usu. Mormon) theme appearing on a personal blog whose subject matter is generally secular.

svithe, v.

To write or post a svithe.

-svithe, suffix

Combines with a proper name. Indicates a svithe by that person.

Asmond's definition:

A svithe is a post designed for the purport of uplifting the mind beyond the mundane, humorous and into the eternal.
