Books I Love Right Now

 
I LOVE To Read!!
 
 
The one thing I always make time for is reading.  I am also a speed reader so I move myself through an insane amount of books when I am in the mood.  A day on my deck in my lounge chair with a diet coke or coffee and a good book is my absolute favorite.  When reading I am a fan of Christian books on self improvement, prayer, etc.  as well as fiction.  Here are a few things I have just finished up and highly recommend. 
 


 



I also do a lot of Bible studies, Beth Moore and Elizabeth George are two of my favorites.  However, I realize that reading the Bible as it is written is just as important but being able to do this has always been a struggle for me.  I recently began reading a Bible in One Year using the Message.  It has really made a difference in my comprehension and concentration.  This is the one I am using and highly recommend it.
 


I started reading books on Kindle last Christmas.  I was not sure I would like it, but actually am loving that I can read several different books at the same time easier than before, and because I love to read so much it has cut down on the stacks of book I have sitting around. 

My job is being a Children's Literacy Specialist for Child Care Providers.  I get to share my passion with small children everyday.  My dream job would be a librarian.  Maybe someday......

Happy Reading Everyone!!

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!! 

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
