Well I almost missed the tour…For some reason, I did not see the e-mails reminding me about the tour in my inbox and they got deleted. I saw someone else’s blog, which thankfully, triggered my memory. So now I have to put three days’ worth of blog tour stuff into one.
Donita K. Paul is one [...]

Last night, while humping myself and books back to my car after a night class, it hit me. I’ve probably been in contact with more unsaved people in the past couple weeks since school started than I have for the past 15 years. That’s scary.
I’ve been quite sheltered since I started having children. Besides family [...]

I usually do not read contemporary fiction. Honestly, if I am going to escape from life, I want something that will take me completely away from my culture and lifestyle. That said, ocassionally I do jump the shark and read some contemporary books that intrigue me. The Familiar Stranger by Christina Berry is one of [...]

I’m sorry all that I missed Day 2. We had some things going on regarding our whole fire/insurance claim yesterday. Not fun. I won’t be able to post much today either. Check out the other participants
I read through a couple of the blog posts about Offworld by Robin Parrish. Amy Cruson that the book is [...]

The featured book for this month’s blog tour is Offworld by Robin Parrish. When the first astronauts to visit Mars arrive back on Earth, they find that everyone has disappeared. Why?
Reading this book felt like a ride with a crazed race car driver speeding along a Los Angelos highway. It is a high-intense, can’t put [...]

I want to mention some other things in particular about The Enclave in this post.
The first line, “Cameron Reinhardt is an idiot!” and the rest of the first chapter are the perfect hook. The action in this book does not take pages to find. It starts right at the beginning and keeps on going. There’s [...]

The first Karen Hancock book I read was Arena. Immediately I looked for others and thank the Lord I found the Guardian-King series. I was able to read the first two right away, but had to wait as each of the others were published. In the meantime, I followed Karen’s blog while I waited, and [...]

Well I’ve made a couple more batches of bread dough since I last posted about it. One problem I’ve often had, even years ago when I first started making bread was that I’d forget to put the salt in. And that makes bread that tastes NASTY. It’s dull, lacking any type of flavor. As Alton [...]

After a long hiatus from breadmaking due to our fire, today I was finally able to make 6 loaves today using freshly milled flour. Let me tell you, it was very appropriate that today is Savor the Comic, Unplug the Drama (SCUD) Day according to Holidays.net.
I decided to try a recipe I used before from [...]

Last night, at Ladies’ Bible Study, I realized something…when rebuking the Pharisees, Jesus twice used the same Scripture. Hosea 6:6 “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.” The first time (in Matthew at least) was when He had dinner at Matthew’s house and the Pharisees were criticizing Him about eating with tax collectors and sinners. I [...]
