Christian music

I remember a time in my life
when someone suggested I listen to a
Christian radio station.

When I tried listening, I just couldn't
make sense of the songs, although I am a Christian.
And ultimately switched back
to my regular schedule program, other stations.

In the last year though, I have switched back to the
Christian radio station and boy have the songs spoke
volumes to me.

So I invite you to listen to the station I listen to,
check out http://www.klove.com/ for you local station.
You will hear such real life things happening on klove.
then listening into the music, where they go behind the scenes
to give details how the song came about, is my fav!

Let's just say if your not into Christian music now, there is hope!!!

Facebook status updates...

Okay so I am not gonna lie to ya, it's hard having a family and writing a book. Things tend to get neglected...I tend to updated my facebook status rather than coming over here writing up a blog ...so I want to share a few status updates with you, the first one is from August 24th- "As hard as it was six years ago to give up my dream job to be a stay-home mom, boy my life would be so different, I am so glad I listen to God's calling....is he calling you to be somewhere you can't see yourself, be sure to listen...to his calling!!! :)"

and I attached this video, from a local church...

ISBN

In order to sale my book, Daddy's Briefcase,
I have to have a ISBN,
International Standard Book Number,
a unique number that identifies a specific publication
of a book.

If you look on the back of any book,
where the bar code is, the number that
appears is the ISBN.

I purchased a block of ten,
just days ago. This makes it seem so
real that I am actually going to have a book
in print one day soon!

I chose a block of ten, because once
they are yours the numbers never expire,
and I hope in the future to publish another book.

If you need information or looking to
purchase an ISBN number,
I purchased mine from myidentifiers.

SHM

It's been six years!

The later part of 2004, I gave my
letter of resignation as office
manager for a local dental office.

At that moment I became a stay-home mom.

Although this was a well prayed about
happening for my family, it didn't make it
easy.

But I know with out a doubt, it is where I am
supposed to be. Oh, if I had not listened
to God's plan for my life, my family, where would
I be? Who would I be?

Are you a SHM?
Has there been a time you listened or
didn't listen to God's plan for your life?

I am not a reader...

I know, I know
I have said several times,
I am not a reader!

And although I still claim that to be true,
there are a few things I have read over
the past year that I really, really liked.

Two books, by Chris Fabry
June Bug
Dogwood

I read them just in that order.

When June Bug first came out last year,
I saw it in the home life magazine. Not knowing
who Chris Fabry even was, I felt compelled to
looking into getting the book.

The cover really caught my eye.

I was at a point in my life of needing to
reconnect spiritually, which is another blog
or book in it's self. So after making a trip to the
local Christian book store, I purchased June Bug,
at the beginning of the school year, last year.

I relate to my kids school year.

Reading June Bug took me to a safe zone,
a zone I personally needed to be in.

I absolutely loved reading June Bug.

By the end of the school year, I was looking for
another book. One that would take me peacefully
to where June Bug had.

So off to the local Christian book store I went.

I really had in my mind, I would find another good
book as good as June Bug. After browsing the shelf
for awhile looking at different books by different authors,
I couldn't find one that really jumped out at me.

I knew I really liked the way Chris Fabry writes.

So I went over to Dogwood, picking it up.
Paid, left and laid the book down somewhere at home.

It was several days maybe even weeks
before I even started reading
Dogwood.

I had in my mind I just bought it because I didn't find anything else.

I'll let you in on a little secret.

When I finished Dogwood, I wanted more of Chris Fabry.

Only thing is his next book,
Almost Heaven, is not due until
October of this year.

Now if you clicked on the Almost Heaven, you
probably saw something else first. If you didn't click
on it, go do it now.

Yelp there you have it, Drew Brees-
Coming Back Stronger:
Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity
with Chris Fabry

Now how bout that? I had no clue either...

Back at super bowl time, I posted
Interview with Drew Brees, to me Drew
is just an awesome person...

But if I ever tell you again I am not a reader,
that's that...

I am not a reader, I am a writer...!!!

but SHhhh writers do read too...
I just find it hard for certain types of books
to hold my attention, I guess it is kinda like a movie
or music. We all have differences.

Have you read any of Chris Fabry's books?
Have you ever been on a cross road spiritually?
Do you plan to read Drew Bree's book?
