Cara Uncategorized Leave a Comment

My friend Tricia Goyer has told me about these recordable books from Dayspring. And then at ACFW she gave me one. Honestly, I was curious to see what they were like, because $29.95 seems steep for a storybook. This particular storybook (and there are four total right now, you can find them all here.) has seven little devotionals. Each contains …

A couple weeks ago I got a book from Kregel that I gave to my youngest daughter. At three, I wanted to see what she would do with this storybook about Noah’s Ark.

Last night we took our two oldest kids to the Steven Curtis Chapman concert. Josh Wilson and Andrew Peterson joined him, and it was a great night.

Deadly Pursuit Review

Today got away from me. The kind of day where I could have sworn I’d already written a post…call it a cold induced fog. Anyway, I just finished this book a couple days ago, and it’s another great read from Irene Hannon. I’ve enjoyed her romantic suspense…to the point that I read this one with an eye on analyzing why …

How Quickly We Forget…

Cara Uncategorized Leave a Comment

Yesterday, our pastor started a sermon on the Exodus and how quickly we can forget God’s provision. If you’ve been reading this blog this year, then you know I’ve been studying this. Now the kids and I are reading Exodus together every morning in school. I think there is such a challenge to us when you look at what the …
