A Heart Prepared
Day One This Christmas I am doing something different. Today I started a Bible Study to observe twenty-five days before Christmas as part of Advent. I am using “A Heart Prepared: Savor the Story of Christmas Advent Legacy Journal” by Mindy Kiker and Jennifer Kochert. Normally I give you book reviews after I have readContinue reading “A Heart Prepared”
Sweet Like Jasmine
God blessed me by placing in my hands “Sweet Like Jasmine: Finding Identity in a Culture of Loneliness” by Bonnie Gray. As a reader I loved her story as she revealed how God moved in her life despite her childhood environment. She educated me at the end of each chapter with information from her ChineseContinue reading “Sweet Like Jasmine”
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Every Christmas for over a decade my husband has given my granddaughter the latest edition of “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney. Last year I read a few pages of the fifteenth edition “The Deep End”. I found it so good I told my granddaughter I wanted to read them all. This yearContinue reading “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”
Searching for Sea Glass
While walking several beaches in Myrtle Beach with my husband I learned the difference between broken sea shells and sea glass. I thought they were the same. Sea glass is glass from broken bottles, shipwrecks, and tableware that is ground, rolled, tossed for twenty to forty years. The rough edges become smooth and rounded withContinue reading “Searching for Sea Glass”
Written Retreat

My replacement thoroughly enjoyedContinue reading “Written Retreat”

That sort of treatment continues into today. Tiffany Bluhm exposes the world history of this type of behavior, what needs to change, how change can happen,Continue reading “Prey Tell”
Doctor Sleep
Not a whole lot I can say. Stephen King is my favorite author and this book, a sequel to “The Shining” is fabulous! Of course I am a bit biased but I loved how Stephen pulled me in as he always does and doesn’t release me go until it’s over. As a writer, I amContinue reading “Doctor Sleep”

“Face to Face with God: My Best Friend” is an excellent book that enables the reader to self examine themselves and learn why they tick the way they do. Terri reveals how we can have a close walk with God as our best friend and confidant. Reading this creation from God helped me to seeContinue reading “Face to Face with God”
A Gentle and Quiet Spirit
I read this book seven years ago with other sisters from my church. Recently I read it with another sister in a mentoring program with Ruah and Ember. Reading this a second time, examining the scriptures, and answering the same questions in the twenty-five worksheets has shown me how I have matured in my marriageContinue reading “A Gentle and Quiet Spirit”
