Dead in Christ?
Are you a dead man walking? My girls and I are studying leaves in Botany this week. It’s more fascinating than you’d think! For instance, in the fall, when leaves exchange their bright greens for autumn hues of red, orange, and yellow…those colors are actually the true color those leaves were all along. The chlorophyll…
LIFE, Love and a Contest!
What are you hoping for this Valentine’s Day? A diamond ring? A dozen roses? A big box of chocolates. How about life insurance? What? Not romantic enough for you. Well, a recent survey by the LIFE Foundation found “that 70 percent of Americans would give up Valentine’s Day in exchange for greater financial peace of…
Unrecognizable
So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?” — Ruth 1:19 NIV I love the story that unfolds in the book of Ruth. A love story for the romantic at…
Never Say Diet
I think I totally missed this tour, but I wanted to post anyway since I read the first half of the book last year, but never got with the program. I think I’m ready to and you might be also! It is time for a FIRST Wild Card Tour book review! If you wish to…
Our Books in Libraries
This weekend I attended the American Library Association Mid-Winter Meeting in Denver with my library. Some of you might really be surprised at how much libraries have changed in the past decade. From automatic check in systems to new and innovative ways to catalog books and organize DVD collections, signs were everywhere that the future of libraries…
Making A Queen Size Comforter Into a King
It’s my FIRST Tackle It Tuesday and since I have a new/old home to fix up, I’m gonna have a lot to tackle. I bought this queen sized bedspread after this incident and ruined my old one. We were planning on getting a new bedroom set, but this set was half off and I paid…
Holding on Loosely
I’m someone who likes to make plans. I like to know when I’m doing something, how long it will take, and what’s coming next. I don’t like surprises. But one thing this bout with cancer has taught me is to hold on to my plans with a loose grip. James 4:13-15 says, Now listen, you…
Healthy Ideas Symbols Make Resolutions Easier
Okay, admit it. I’m not the only one who’s committed to exercising and eating healthier in the new year? While I’ve managed to get on a great workout routine, my eating habits could really use some help! For the most part I try to eat prepacked organic and fresh produce. I stay away from hormone…
Grace for the Afflicted
My motivation for picking up this book was not because I knew someone who suffered from a mental disorder, but that my character in my book did. I thought it would add some depth and understanding to my character so I could portray her in a realistic manner. I thought maybe I’d check the table…
Park City Mountain Ski Resort
I’ve only been skiing a couple of times in my life. Once on a high school ski trip where all I remember is the bus ride with friends and speeding down the mountain in an out of control state. The other time was about 10 years ago when my husband won a business trip to…
