I’m in the middle of seven books. I know. That’s ridiculous. I’m sure you’re thinking that I’m terribly forgetful or suffering from ADD. It’s probably more of a combination of the two. If a book is hard, then I go slowly through it, so it causes me to pause a lot and I end up …
Lest you think I haven’t been blogging because I’ve been spending my days watching TV and eating bon bons, I have news for you. I’ve been READING BOOKS and eating bon bons! So there. Okay, okay. I don’t even know what bon bons are. But I have been reading. 🙂 Banner in the Sky – …
One of the many things I’d planned to do on the blog this summer was to write several book reviews and host a book giveaway. I know that the summer is not over, but it’s rapidly passing. I cannot believe that June has almost bid adieu. I have several tasks beckoning me to come hither …
A friend in our church recommended this book to me. I was a little afraid of tackling it just based on the title: The Holiness of God. I felt unworthy to even attempt to wrap my weak, human brain around it. God is holy, so holy that we cannot see Him in this flesh and live. …

The book begins with narration from “death”. That’s right, death tells us the story of Liesel Meminger, Â the book thief. “Death” likes to use colors to describe much of what he sees. I just finished the book and I’d like to describe it in colors for you now: The beginning is gray with smattering of …
I have an older brother and sister, but we were spread out enough in age to have grown up as three “only children”. I often came home from school as a youngster, found a place near the bookshelf and read and admired the pictures in my favorite books till supper time. My mother loves books, …
Since we moved here in April, we have been enjoying the Lawton Public Library. It offers a wide array of books and programs for children. Because we have been so busy settling in (buying a house, learning the town, getting driver’s licenses, having dentist appointments, finding a piano teacher and more), we didn’t have much …
I just finished a wonderful book on contentment, called Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow. I wanted to drop in and share something I read in that book that convicted me. I thought it might be a blessing to you, too. On page 13, Mrs. Dillow shares the following list by missionary wife, Ella …
