I remember when Cara joined my critique group a couple of years ago. She was pretty green, yet she had a fire (sparked by Colleen Coble) that made her glow. Despite all the red I returned with her pages she plodded on, learned and grew as a writer. She went to her first conference not planning to pitch, but then God gave her an idea. She talked with an editor and to my surprise and astonishment whipped out the first draft in about a month. Honestly, I thought to myself, “there’s no way that book can be any good. She wrote it too quickly,” but I’ve been slowly learning that if God wants it written and published, it will be.

And it was. I was there when her contract was offered to her at the ACFW conference. It was an incredibly hard time for me. God had told me to stop writing for a season. That my priorities were off. To have my critique partner get a contract should have been a moment of rejoicing for her, instead it was a time of sadness and I hate to say it jealousy and questioning for me.

Why had she gotten a contract before me ? I’d been working much longer than she had. When was it going to be my turn? Since I could remember, all I’ve ever wanted to do was write. Why hadn’t my dreams come true

Well, for one thing I didn’t have a finished manuscript. Cara did. If you want to read more about how God delivered me from jealousy it’s somewhere in my blog. I’m so grateful now to actually be able to rejoice when friends get contracts, and when they do, I hear God whisper “your time will come.”

BACK COVER:

In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, Audrey Stone wants to help in the war effort. But what’s a young schoolteacher from Nebraska to do? When her community starts a canteen at the train station, Audrey finds her place. She spends nearly every spare moment there, offering food and kindness to the soldiers passing through. Despite her busyness, Audrey does allow some time to get to know a handsome rancher.

Willard Johnson worries about his brother who joined the navy to get off the ranch and see the world. When Willard’s worst fear is confirmed, he feels he must avenge by enlisting himself. But will his budding relationship with Audrey survive the war? Or will one of the many soldiers at the canteen steal her away from him? Can two such determined people find their place in the war and with each other?

REVIEW:

I’m not much of a romance reader, but I can honestly say I enjoyed this story. The characters came alive as well as the time period. It was interesting to see how World War II affected the lives of those far from the fighting. I can tell the book was well researched which adds to the believability of the story. And it was fun to see the romance grow between Audrey and Willard despite the many obstacles.

Sometimes when I read books the “writing mistakes” jump off the page at me. In Canteen Dreams I didn’t get distracted by the writing because it was really good. The story moves and is a touching tale based loosely on Cara’s grandparents’ story. I highly recommend this to romance historical lovers and anyone else wanting a sweet, quick read!

Cara is deep into writing book three in this series, and I’ll definitely be reading those as well!

Since it’s creation in 1777, the American Flag has been a symbol of freedom and liberty. With its red and white alternating stripes and 13 white stars in a sea of blue, the first flag represented the independence declared by the 13 colonies in 1776. Although the flag has changed 26 times since its creation, the principles for which it first stood remains unchanged.

Since the attacks on September 11, Americans have taken pride in displaying the American flag. While many Americans demonstrate their patriotism and support of their country by flying Old Glory, many don’t realize the Flag has it’s own code on the proper way it should be presented.

The following information on Flag etiquette is based on the U.S. Flag Code as amended by congress on July 7, 1976and taken from the University of Missouri-Kansas City website www.umkc.edu/imc/flag.htm.

The flag should be flown only from sunrise to sunset. Upon special occasions, however, it may be displayed at night to produce a patriotic effect. The flag should be displayed on all days when the weather permits, particularly on national and state holidays and on historic and special occasions.

The flag should always be hoisted briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. When carried in a procession with other flags, the flag of the should be either on the marching right that is, its own right or in front of the center of the line of flags.

When a number of flags are grouped and displayed from staffs, the flag of the should be at the highest point or at the center or the first flag at the right of the center. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they should fly from separate staffs of the same height and the flags should be approximately equal in When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the windowsill, balcony, or front of a building, the union, or field of stars, should be at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff. When it is to be suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.

When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or outdoors, or suspended that its folds fall free as if staffed. When displayed against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right (observer’s left). When displayed in a window, the union should be to the left of the observer in the street.

When displayed over the middle of the street, as between buildings, the flag should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east-and-west street or to the east in a north-and-south street. On a speaker’s platform the flag, if used flat, should be placed above and behind the speaker. It should never be used to cover the speaker’s desk or draped over the front of the platform. If flown from a staff, it should be on the speaker’s right.

When flown at half-staff, the flag is hoisted to the peak for an instant, and then lowered to the half-staff position. Before the flag is lowered for the day, it is raised again to the top. Half-staff honors the heroic dead and indicates mourning; full staff shows that the nation lives, for the flag is the symbol of the living nation.

When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the flag of the U.S. should hold the position of honor at the speaker’s right as he or she faces the congregation or audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the speaker or to the right of the audience.

When a flag is no longer fit for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. A flag may be washed or dry-cleaned.

Cautions Listed in Flag Code*

Do not permit disrespect to be shown to the flag of the
Do not dip the flag to any person or thing.
Do not display the flag with the union down except as a signal of dire distress.
Do not let the flag touch anything beneath it.
Do not place or attach to it any object or emblem of any kind or any mark, insignia, word, letter, figure, design, picture, or drawing.
Do not use the flag as drapery in any form whatever, but always allow it to fall free.
Do not drape the flag over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle, train, and boat or as a covering for a ceiling.
Do not display the flag on a float in a parade except from a staff, flat or suspended that its folds fall free.
Do not carry the flag flat or horizontally but always, as in a parade, aloft and free.
Do not use the flag as any portion of a costume or athletic uniform.
Do not embroider it or print it upon anything that is intended for discard.
Do not use the flag in any form of advertising.
Do not use the flag to hold or carry anything.

The Story of Passover

During this time Exodus 12:1-13 is read with brief comments and with the elements held up at the appropriate moment.

The Lamb Bone: The lamb was killed, its blood spread on the doorposts and lintel of the house to protect the home from the tenth plague, the slaying of the firstborn. God said He would pass over the house when He saw the blood.

Jesus, God’s first born, the Lamb of God, shed his blood for us so that death would pass us over.

The Unleavened Bread: Dough was not given time to rise since the Hebrews had to be ready to leave quickly. No one knows the day or the hour Jesus will return. We must be ready to go when He comes.

The Second Cup: Cup of Plagues
“God poured our 10 plagues on Egypt, the last of which, the slaying of the first born, convinced Pharaoh to let the people of Israel leave the land.

As Christian, let us recall the lives Jesus had delivered us from.
After this explanation the father invites he participants to recount these plagues. He reads each passage aloud; They repeat it and then dip a finger into the grape juice, letting a drop fall onto the place symbolizing the plagues.

“Now let us lift our cups and drink, thanking God that He not only delivered the nation of Israel from the plagues, but that through Jesus, He delivered us from the plague of sin which brings death that we all deserve.”

Here is a good place for everyone to go around the table and confess their sins to one another.

The Bitter Herbs
Each person places horseradish on a matzo and eats it, “This symbolizes the bitterness of Israel’s slavery and our slavery to sin.”

Eating of Caroseth
Each person places charoseth on a matzo and eats it, “This symbolizes the mortar that was used to make bricks by the Israelites.”

Eating the Egg
The father presents the roasted egg.

“This is a reminder of the Temple’s destruction in A.D. 70.” The egg is dipped in saltwater, the symbol of tears, and then eaten.

Eating of the Meal
At this point, the Jewish family eats a full meal.

Eating of Afikomen
This Greek word loosely translated means, after dinner. After dinner, the children hunt for the hidden matzo. Whoever finds the piece gets a token reward, maybe a coin or candy. When found, the Afikomen is broken and shared. Likely it was at this point that Jesus said, “This is my body given for you”

Read Luke 22:19 and share communion: “During Jesus’ Last Supper, he took the bread and broke it saying this is my body, do this in remembrance of me.”

The Third Cup
“Exodus 6:6 says, ‘I will redeem you’. Redemption means to buy out of slavery. The lamb sacrificed and offered on Passover was the price to deliver the nation of Israel from their sin. This third cup is what Jesus drank with his disciples as a symbol of his blood. He was saying I will redeem you.”

Read Matthew 26:27-32 and take communion

Searching for Elijah
“The Jewish people believe, according to Malachi 3:1 and 4:5-6 that Elijah will prepare the way for the Messiah. They are looking for the Messiah year after year, not recognizing that Jesus, the Messiah, has already come. Pray for the Jews and everyone else who does not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

Here the children search for Jesus, and peeks out the door.
Father: Is he here?
Child: No, he is not here.
Father: Maybe next year Jesus will come. Maybe tomorrow. For no one knows the day or the hour He will come, so we should be ready for Him always.

The Fourth Cup of Praise
As everyone lifts this cup, the father quotes Exodus 6:7 “I will take you for my people. The Jewish nation looks forward to a golden age where everyone will be at peace. We, as believers in the Lord Jesus, eagerly wait for his return when He ill take us to Heaven.”

So with the Passover ceremony finished, everyone drinks the fourth cup proclaiming “Even so Lord, com quickly Lord Jesus.”

Here are some fun ideas you might want to try with your family:

*When the plagues are read, pass our sunglasses for darkness, round band-aids painted green for boils, toy frogs and locusts, etc. They kids might not be the only ones to get a kick out of this part of the Seder.

*During the eating of the egg, you can play the “egg game.” Prepare an egg for each guest. After the father eats his egg, explain that whoever ends up with the unbroken egg is the winner and receives a small prize. Face the person sitting next to you and tap eggs end-to-end and point-to-point. Continue to play around the table until only one unbroken egg is declared the winner.

Yesterday I shared with you the beginning of the Christian Seder my family has during the Easter weekend. We try and have this on Good Friday to reminisce about the “Last Supper”, but sometimes have it on Saturday. We reserve Sunday for a relaxing time of Church and casual dinner. Though this year with my sister being only four hours away, we may have to change things up a bit.

Christian Seder continued

The Four Questions
At this point, the youngest child and the father interact to explain why Passover is celebrated. After asking the first “stage setting” questions, the child will ask four detailed one. (In our family, we share the questions among all the children.)

Child: Why is this night different from all other nights?

Father: Once we were slaves to our sin, like the Jews who were slaves in Egypt , but now we are free , and we set aside this night each year to remember the great things God did for us.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, Jesus, so that we might not perish and be slaves to sin, but so we might be free and have abundant life.

Child: On all other nights we eat either bread or matzo, but why on this night do we eat only matzo?

Father: Matzo reminds us of two things. There was no time for the Jews bread to rise when it was time to leave Egypt. This unleavened bread reminds us the Jews were delivered from slavery in Egypt, and were given new life. And we as Christian, were delivered from sin and also have new life.

Child: On all over nights we eat whatever vegetables we want, but why on this night, do we eat only bitter ones?

Father: We remember how bitter our sin was and the how bitter the Israelites’ slavery in Egypt was.

(Since our family doesn’t recline at the table, we skip this question and usually substitute it with a different one of our choosing)

Child: On all other nights we eat either sitting up or reclining, but why on this night do we all recline?

Father: Before we were slaves, but now we are able to recline and express the rest we enjoy as free people.

Here are some fun ideas you might want to try with your family:

*Conduct the first part of the Seder in the living reclining on homemade pillows with the names of your guests.

*Make up four questions centering on present day Israel
Why is the land different from other lands? Then pray for the peace of Israel and Jerusalem.

*Ask a fifth question for the Jewish children who died in the Holocaust and never got a chance to ask.

It’s snuck up on me again! The Easter Holiday season. I thought by getting the bunnies and egg hunts out of the way early, I’d have time to plan some really great Jesus stuff. But it’s Palm Sunday and I’ve done nothing…yet.

I just pulled out my Easter file and for the rest of the week I’ll be sharing with you our Easter traditions starting with a Christian Seder. We’ve shared the the “Last Supper” with our immediate family for the last couple of years, and although it hasn’t been a “sane” experience, I think we’ve been ironing out the less than kid friendly parts, and hopefully this year will bring a little more peace.

I’m sure there are lots of ways to do a Christian Seder, but this is how our family does it. I’d love to hear if you do something similar and what yours looks like. Chrysalis has a great post on an easy Christian Seder.

Christian Seder

Come to the Table

At each place setting provide the following:

Parsley (2 sprigs)
Charoseth (1 Tb) Chopped apples, nuts, honey, cinnamon, and a touch of grape juice. (This is my families favorite!)
(4 servings, 3 oz each)
Saltwater (1 bowl per 4-5 people) Add enough salt to cloud the water
Horseradish (1.2 tsp, and as “biting” as possible)
Matzo (Plain, 1/4 square)
2 candles (white) and candlesticks in table center

At the leader’s place setting also provide:

1 bowl of saltwater
1 lamb bone (meatless and oven roasted until brown)
3 whole squares of matzo and 4 napkins (Matzos are stacked between the napkins on a plate)
1 roasted egg (boil for 10 minutes; then place under oven broiler until shell is brown)

An extra setting for “Elijah/Jesus”

Same as the “per person” setting with the exception that only one glass of juice is poured and left next to the plate. For the Jews, this symbolizes the future appearance of Elijah, who will signify the coming of Messiah. For Christians, it symbolizes the return of Christ.

The Passover Ceremony

Cleaning of Leaven
A few crumbs of leavened bread are dropped on the floor. The father or another male leader then sweeps them up as a symbol that the house is ready.

The Lighting of the Candles
The candles are lit by the mother who recites, “Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who sanctifies us by Your commandments and has ordained that we kindle the Passover lights. Jesus you are the light of the world. Help our light shine out to those who do not know you.”

The First Cup: The Cup of Sanctification
The father lifts his cup and explains, “Sanctification means to be set apart. We are setting apart this ceremony as special to the Lord.”

The Jews remember Exodus 6:6a, “I will bring you out (set you apart) from under the burdens of the Egyptians. God performed miraculous deeds to free Israel from Egypt. As believers, God’s greatest miracle was the price God payed, death of His only son Jesus, to free us from the bondage of sin and death.”

Everyone drinks.

Washing of Hands
Here the father washes in a basin. “This is a reminder of the priest’s need to wash before the could go before God on behalf of Israel. As Jesus celebrated His last Passover with his disciples, John 13 records that he took a towel and washed their feet instead of washing his hands. He also said that we should do this to one another.”

Take wash cloths and each person washed the hands (or feet) or the person to their left.

Dipping the Parsley
Everyone dips his parsley, one sprig at a time, into the saltwater and then eats it.
“The first dip refers to the tears shed in slavery by Israelites. But we also recognize the tears we’ve shed while in slavery to sin, without forgiveness and freedom Jesus offers. The second dip refers to the drowning of the Egyptian army in the Red Sea and the miraculous deliverance of Israel as a result (Exodus 14:13-31). We also thank God for our miraculous deliverance from sin.”

Breaking of the Middle Matzo
The father takes the middle square of the 3 whole Matzos, breaks it in half, puts one half back and hides the other half where he wants. Everyone closes his eyes while this is done. The children will look for the hidden piece later.

“These three squares of Matzo represent the beautiful picture of the Trinity. The middle representing Jesus-broken and hidden away.”

There’s much more to the Seder, but I’ll save it for tomorrow’s post!!! Please come back and see how you can get your kids involved in this Christian Seder.

Today we’re getting together with some friends to celebrate and remember the life of St. Patrick, patron saint to Ireland. Of course we will do some crafts, like making shamrocks. Did you know Patrick used the three leaf clover to explain the trinity? And probably learn a little about the history of leprechauns and Ireland, but my favorite part will be reading Patrick: Patron Saint of Ireland by Tomie DePaola. His is an amazing story of love , forgiveness, miracles and devotion to a people. If you’ve never heard the story or St. Patrick, (I didn’t until I had kids), make sure you do this year. You’ll be pleasantly surprised that St. Patrick has nothing to do with drinking beer and leprechauns, but has everything to do with the love of Christ!

For lunch we’re planning on eating like the Irish. Don’t know if the kids will like it, but we’re going all out, including green mac and cheese. (okay, that’s not really Irish, but it’ll be fun!)

Here’s a yummy Grilled Reuben Sandwich recipe we’ll be trying out for lunch.

2 slices of Rye Bread
1 Tbs Thousand Island Dressing
2 slices of swiss cheese
1/4 cup of sauerkraut, drained
2 slices of corned beef
1 Tbs of Miracle Whip

Of course I will try and make this as low fat as possible, by using fat free and probably cutting our the Miracle Whip.

For dinner tomorrow night, we’ll have our traditional cornbeef and cabbage meal, and Irish Soda bread. For more great recipes go to Kraft Foods.

We’ll be trying out a few and hopefully discovering some new favorite.

So what fun things do you have planned for St. Patrick’s Day?

Many Pilgrims came to this new land looking for religious freedoms and after a year of hardship and many deaths, they stopped to give thanks to God for his provision and bountiful harvest. So while you’re stuffing yourself full of turkey this Thanksgiving, remember all that God has given you.

Also remember the Pilgrims who traveled to a foreign land in order to worship as they see fit. Be thankful you live in a country that gives you this religious freedom and don’t forget to pray for those who are persecuted for their faith.

And because all my creativity and energy is spent homeschooling and working on my novel, here are some great posts about Thanksgiving how God works in the our lives! Something we should be truly thankful for!

I was in my bedroom, half awake, not even dressed for the day. My baby was asleep in his crib so I flipped on the TV and there it was. The buildings on fire, the news commentators playing over and over again the planes flying into the towers. I sat in shock, not fully comprehending what was happening. My eyes were glued to the screen.

Then I saw it unfold on television. I knew what was happening even before the news commentators did. The first tower was crumbling.

More shock, disbelief.

Honestly, I can’t remember all the emotions I felt. Most likely terror, fear, shock. This couldn’t be happening. Then the second tower fell. It was surreal. Like something out of Hollywood.

Though I lived hundreds of miles from New York, I was worried about my kids at school. It brought back memories of the Oklahoma City bombing, and I worried about my husband being away at work while all this was going on. But most of all I was concerned for my family in New York.

I tried to call my family in New York, but the phone lines were jammed. I’m not sure how I heard the news. I think it was through email.

My dad was missing.

I wasn’t really panicked, but his wife was. Maybe it was the peace of God, maybe it was disbelief that it was all happening, but I stayed calm and prayed. He came home safe and sound to Brooklyn, along with hundreds of refugee city workers who had to walk home from Manhattan. At least he didn’t have to go through it alone. At least he was safe.

Later he told us his story:

He was teaching a class at Aveda Cosmetology school when someone said a plane crashed into the towers. They all took a break and went outside, thinking it was a freak accident. He saw the second plane fly into the tower, and he knew things weren’t right, and wasn’t about to wait around to find out what would happen next.

He tried to get home, but no one could get out of the city by car, bus or train. He decided to walk home with hundreds, maybe thousands of others.

My family and friends were lucky that day. No one I knew or loved was lost in the attack, though plenty of my friends and family worked and lived in the city. One friend was supposed to grab breakfast at the towers after she dropped her kids off at school. The first plane hit while she was still at their school. They all saw it.

There are so many stories like the ones I shared. But there are also stories of those who didn’t survive. Let’s not forget them or their lives.

Please take a moment and pray for the survivors, for America, our country’s leaders, this world we live in and the men fighting for our freedom.

Yes, it’s true. Pluto is not a planet any more. and my boys are really upset. They feel sad for Pluto, being demoted like that just because it’s not big and special like the other planets, and it doesn’t have a tidy orbit.

Textbooks will have to be rewritten and even the School House Rock Inter Planet Janet song is out dated. But I’ve rewritten my own version of Pluto’s little part in the song. It goes like this. [sniff]

“Pluto, little Pluto is NOT a planet any more…boo…hoo” [sniff, sniff]

So in honor of Pluto and to all the little guys in the universe and on earth, I say you’re special and don’t let anyone tell you different! Just because you’re not as big as the other guys and you orbit differently doesn’t make you less of planet in our eyes.

We will remember you, and our family has a solar system styrofoam project hanging in our school room to prove you were once considered part of the solar system and considered a full fledged planet!

Here are some more interesting site about Pluto:

America: Return to God

We’ve been studying the American Revolution and the celebration on Sunday was a great way to wrap up our unit. The church dramatized the founding father’s and their discussion of freedom. It was fun to see Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams come to life before our eyes. We had come to know these men a little over the last couple of months. One of the thoughts that stuck with my kids was how this small group of “rabble rousers” were able to get so many people behind them to start a revolution.

We saw how these founding father’s were men of faith and learned to read using the Bible. And I posed the question, “were these men a bunch of rabble rousers wanting to pick a fight or were they men of great convictions and knew the importance of freedom in Christ and in their own lives?” I don’t have the answer to that question because I wasn’t there at that time, but it made us all think. And we decided that the answer would really depend on who you asked.

One of the things my children found fascinating in our study is that even back before the Revolutionary War, George Washington seemed to have a divine protection over his life. Standing well above 6 feet which was way above the average colonist, he managed to escape harm and death in the heat of battle with bullets whizzing by and men dropping left and right.

Then my children were introduced to terms such as human secularism, atheist, abortion, homosexuality. Though the terms all went over their heads, it was hard to ignore the images of teens and horrifying statistics flashed on the big screen.

For me it is easy to see the decline in our society’s morality is linked to its Godlessness. Statistics and quotes were read from humanists years ago and how they were targeting the children through public schools to get God out. And their subtle influence is now evident. No prayer in school. Take God out of the pledge. Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. That’s one reason why I choose to homeschool.

We’ve also been studying about Abraham and Lot. We just finished learning about the destruction of Sodom. After service, my 9 year old asked if God would destroy American like he did Sodom. If you compare America to Sodom, one may think the two have a lot in common. But God promises in his word, 2Ch 7:14 “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

So as you pray for your children before you send them off to school, remember to pray for our nation, the president, the troops fighting for freedom all over the world. God’s Word will not return void, if we humbler our selves and pray and seek God’s face our land will be healed.

On Sunday we attended an amazing service at a local mega church. They had advertised an “America: Return to God” patriotic service and since we’re between churches, we thought we’d go. The service was not lacking in patriotism or the spirit of God.

The choir dressed in red, white and blue, belted out patriotic songs like God Bless America, The Star Spangled Banner, and America, The Beautiful. But when the men and women in union started marching onto the platform, I couldn’t hold back the tears. Young and old, men and women lined the stage. A youth who’d be returning to Iraq. An old sailor dressed in white who could hardly salute the flag without his hand shaking. A buffalo soldier. And a WWII Pearl Harbor survivor. I don’t know if I’m getting more sensitive in my old age, or if in the recent years events I’m able to appreciate what these men and women sacrificed for our freedom. Even hubby had tears in his eyes.

We celebrated freedom and worshipped Jesus in a wonderful service and it seemed fitting since Christ gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I looked over at my 11 and 9 year old, singing and worshipping and wondered if they really understood everything that was going on. If they really understood about freedom. I don’t see how they could. In fact, how can I even truly appreciate freedom when that’s all I’ve known. Still, I’ll celebrate this day like every other American and hopefully sit my children down for a moment to reflect on what freedom really means.

God Bless America. Happy 4th of July!
