I have been given an opportunity to watch and review a DVD of Buck Denver asks... What's in the Bible? Jesus is the Good News! (Vol. 10) My children have all been big fans of Veggie Tales, and while I've never watched this volume of videos, I determined that it surely would be every bit as good as Veggie Tales. I was right.What I love about these videos is that it's relevant for children but also fun for adults. There are little comical bits that made me chuckle, and the video was educational ...
NaNo Wrimo Update
I officially have become dreadfully behind in my November writing for Nano Wrimo. If you read my previous blog entry, you know why. Suffice it to say that as soon as I'm feeling well enough (hopefully tomorrow!), my plan is to get this train back on the track and chug away. But first, I want to share a portion of what I've written so far and shared with my reading group. My goal is to eventually finish and do something with this manuscript. I don't know what I'll do. It may go into the ...
Weigh in Wednesday Didn’t Happen!
I am so sorry to have to renege on my promise this week about weighing in on Wednesday and reporting my results. I also am sad to say that I've not stuck with the menu! The reason is because on Saturday evening I got accosted by an attack of diverticulitis. It wasn't until Sunday that I knew that I was in bad trouble. It wasn't until Monday that I knew what was going on. Suffice it to say that I've eaten soft foods all week, have had to avoid a lot of foods that I prefer to eat and ...

Journey to Weight Loss
I had a baby last year, and since then the weight hadn't budged much. I began a paleo diet, and the weight started to melt right off. It was amazing how much better I felt, and seeing weight loss made it even better. I've since then yo-yo'd on it, and so now I'm going to use this blog as an avenue to stay on track and continue on my journey. My plan is to make posts here on the blog about what I'll be eating during the week. It's so much easier to stay on task if you already have a ...
Quilted by Christmas – a Litfuse Review
Thoughts Quilted by Christmas by Jodie Bailey was an enjoyable read. Taryn, the main character, struggled with having been told that she was manipulative and needy. She hadn't had a loving father in her life, and she never felt like she quite measured up. She had a hard time seeing herself as loved and important. She'd made mistakes that resulted in a big life change. She desired forgiveness, but seemed to not be able to believe that she deserved it. When her high school sweetheart Justin ...
