Be Still My Soul - book review

When Lonnie Sawyer is forced to marry Gideon O' Riley, neither are happy.  Throughout their marriage, Lonnie's faith in God shines through and eventually Gideon starts to see how wrong he has been in his treatment of his dear wife.

There are a lot of struggles and hard times, but faith and forgiveness shine through in this wonderful book.

This is the first novel by Joanne Bischof.  I look forward to reading more from her.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

Thumbs Up for Lane!

Many of you may have heard of 13 year old, Lane Goodwin.  He is battling cancer that has gone to his brain.  I can not even start to imagine what this family is going through.  To show their support for Lane, many are doing a thumbs up - from small kids to "famous" people.

This morning, Foundation Christian Academy showed their support by doing a thumbs up picture to send to Lane.

This afternoon, we went by Derek's station and his guys did a thumbs up picture as well to show their support for Lane.

If you haven't heard his story and would like to, click this link to find out more.

Please keep this family in your prayers!!

A Season for Tending - Book Review

Another great book by Cindy Woodsmall!! 

Rhoda Byler is a young woman who has a "gift" that others around her do not understand.  They are quick to draw incorrect conclusions and spread rumors that aren't true.  However, she is able to overcome these trials and use her "gift" to help others out.

Rhoda loves her berry patch and canning the fruit to sell.  One morning she found Leah, a young Amish girl, sick and abandoned in her garden.  As she helps Leah, she is introduced to her two brothers, Samuel and Jacob King.

During an unfortunate turn of events, the orchard that the King's own is going to take a loss.  Can Rhoda's canning expertise help them to actually turn a profit?  Will Rhoda fall in love with one of the brothers??  You must read the book to find out.
