Where Would You Go?
My oldest will graduate from high school in 2014. Recently I asked him if he could go anywhere for one last vacation with the family before he becomes an adult where he would like to go. Then I qualified that it had to be within driving distance i.e. not more than six hours.:) His answer didn’t come as much of a surprise. He wants to see a Seahawks game and spend a night in Seattle. Sounds like fun to me too. What about you? If you could go anywhere where would you go? I hope you are all enjoying the new Monday format. Be sure to check back on Monday…

Praise
Last week I shared with you about my husband being admitted to the hospital. This week I have a praise to report. His pic line was removed a week early! He is almost at 100% and not expecting to need further treatment. This is a huge turnaround from what the doctor originally said. To all of you who prayed for him, thanks! I searched out a few verses that I think are fitting. I hope they speak to you as they did to me. 2 Chronicles 20:21 Ephesians 4:17-19 I know we are all at different stages and if you are facing something bad I hope these verses encourage you.…

Secretly Smitten
Secretly Smitten delivers four entertaining contemporary romance novellas. I’ve been busier than usual this past week and have only had time to read the first two stories in this book and part of the third, but thoroughly enjoyed each of them. In Secretly Smitten we get to see the original Smitten casts cousins: Tess, Clare, Zoe, and their mother Anna find love. There is also a mystery that begins in the fist story involving their grandma Rose and some dog tags. In each story the girls get a little closer to solving the mystery of the dog tags. Normally I would give you a summary of each book, but since…

Crazy
It’s been a crazy week in my household. On Sunday my husband was admitted to the hospital. Thankfully he was able to come home the following day and is being treated as an outpatient. Before my trip to the hospital on Monday I was reading my Bible and saw this verse. It spoke to me, so I thought I’d share it with you. Romans 12:12 NIV Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Fitting words for a challenging time. If you are going through a rough patch, I hope this verse speaks to you.
