An Unlikely Blessing – a LitFuse Review

An Unlikely Blessing, written by Judy Baer, is a story of a single, 40-ish pastor who moves from the city to the country in North Dakota to pastor two churches. Alex Armstrong quickly learns that his single status earns the attention of all of the single ladies in the community–from the young to the old! He quickly packs on a few pounds as he struggles to do something with all of the food they send his way!

Soon enough Alex finds that his position as pastor comes with its share of grief when he discovers that many in the churches he pastors struggle to make ends meet or have other types of heartaches. The two churches he pastors has a wedge between them, which saddens him greatly. The desire to help is strong in Alex.

What he doesn’t realize is that he has a lot to learn about living in the country–especially cooking for himself and growing his own crops since the nearest store is nearly an hour away! But with the helpful and caring members of his flock, he soon finds that the city boy he’d once been belonged in the country.

Clearer prose. Stronger pacing. An elevated read.
I guess some good things must come to an end. Oh, the goofy jokes I’ve made with the message on this mug! Fun times. The message on the #coffeemug is quite fitting, don’t you agree? #peanuts Do you have a well-loved mug?
