Pulled In…


Thanks to Darwin Barton

When we first pulled into the driveway I couldn’t believe what I saw. I was so mad at Tim I could have screamed – he said all this house needed was a little love to look great when what it seemed to need was a bulldozer in the front yard! When I got past the initial shock the panic set in: I didn’t know a thing about construction or contracting and I was expected to manage this place while he was at work all day? We got started and bit by bit I learned what I was doing. I cost us thousands by approving things I had no business approving and after that third contractor left the job without notice I learned to get a contract. Now we’re in the finishing steps – picking out paint colors and getting satellite star internet for the place and I’m really, really proud of what I’ve accomplished here. I don’t know that I’d want to do it again but at the end of the day I’m happy.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Timeless Truth Bible - Blogger Review #timelesstruths #biblegram #bible #Christianbookstagram

About this Bible: The Christian faith is founded upon an unchanging and unceasing confession: that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11). This is the confession upon which all our hope, and all our joy, rests. The  Timeless Truths Bible  will encourage you in this truth through the wisdom of those who came before us with: Devotional notes and commentary from trusted theologians and pastors from the second century up to the twentieth to stir your affections. Ancient creeds and confessions of the faith to grow your understanding of what we believe—and have always believed. Artwork made throughout the history of Christianity to deepen your worship of God. My Review: I have a full house often being a pastor and now that we have a bonus daughter with us she is the blessed one to receive this Bible.  She has been desiring a bible to take notes in so when she saw margins she was pretty excited.  Then with the leather she was more exci...
