So many assume romance novels are trashy, shallow reads. Let's face it: some are. However, I have to wince when the romance novel takes the hit by this description. It's a sweeping generalization based on a specific form of the genre written to appeal to the baser escapist inclinations of certain readers – of…

         Fascinating décor. I love the floor (it resembles ours) and the countertops, the wall surfaces, the high beams and windows, the stone. This kitchen fascinates me. I think perhaps they selected the lighter shade cabinets around the island to lighten up the room. Wow.   Father, all the different materials you provide along with amazing inspiration for…

     "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things…

                   Brad Thor's 2006 novel Takedown is just as potentially accurate today as it was then. A terrifying thriller filled with mayhem, conspiracy, betrayal, perversion, and bona fide evil, Takedown fills the pages with confusion and irrepressible frustration amidst the onslaught of terror in Manhattan and neighboring areas of New York City. Scot Harvath and his former…

                                   http://vinceflynn.com/order-to-kill.html#qv?utm_source=VF.com+June+2016&utm_campaign=june-2016-email&utm_medium=email Available for pre-order, I'm anxious to read Kyle Mills' second effort at continuing the Mitch Rapp/Vince Flynn legacy. Truly a great legacy of stories and a one-in-a-million character. So realistic and indicative of today's espionage and political environments and the dangers included in both.   Lord, you enlighten people and give insights…

I'm re-running this review because I think everyone should read this novel. It's poignant, possible, and particularly pressing for people to be aware of their surroundings, who is near them, what they look like, what they're wearing. Not to accentuate the fear factor but rather to emphasize the more you see around you, the more…

   A cabin kitchen in the country, I'd say. Cute. Not big enough outside of a cabin. Love the cabinets (look a lot like mine) and island top. The countertops look very similar to mine too. Interesting touch and color of the painted wood (shabby chic?) on the island drawers and cupboards.   Lord, you give…

     He [Jesus] also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.      "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's…

The world has gone mad. But it isn't just lately. It started at The Fall of Man. Okay, you say, I don't buy it – that Adam and Eve thing. Okay. Then if this grand cosmic experiment, that Big Bang, the ooze of amoebas, have failed to produce human beings who don't hate, don't practice…

                    I loved this group and this song. America produced some wonderful, albeit typical, early 70's tunes. This was one of my favorites. Thanks to Ken Kuehne, my Facebook friend for posting it. A few years after this song, one of their singers met Jesus. Hope he's still walking with the Lord.   Father, thank…
