The Bone Box is the latest release from author Bob Hostetler, an award-winning author and pastor in Ohio. I think this is the first book of his that I’ve read, and it reminded me of John Olson’s Fossil Hunter. It follows in the niche genre (that I may be coining) of archaeological suspense. Usually these books focus on a what …
Abigail’s Competition: Beam
This is the last one — we were too far away to capture vault. Have I mentioned I’m so excited for her? All that hard work saw fruit. She’s definitely got areas to keep working on, but she had a great first competition. Did you notice all the pointed toes LOL She was the model of consistency — averaging 8.0 …
Abigail’s Bar Routine
She placed third among the eight year olds competing at level three. 🙂 I’m so proud of her because she got her windmill and her dismount! Still some refining — but YEAH!!!!
Abigail’s First Gymnastics Competition:floor
This is a test. Can I upload a video to the blog? This is short — 37 seconds to the song that every level three in the country uses. It kind of get stucks in your head and won’t go away! We are so proud of the job Abigail did. She’s worked very hard since getting selected for the team …
Fun Photos from the Booksigning
Saturday’s booksigning at Carpenter’s Son was such fun. Here are a few of the pictures from the event. This first photo is me with my friend Ann. She’s my scrapbooking buddy. Often when Eric is traveling we’ll get together to watch chick flicks and scrap. And amazingly, she never laughed when I told her I was considering writing. I’ve been …
Booksigning on Saturday!
My newest book just arrived at Carpenter’s Son — Yeah! They have it before I do LOL.Captive Dreams is the last book in the Nebraska World War Two series. I’d be sad, except I’m racing to finish the first book in the Ohio World War Two series before next Tuesday. 🙂 On Saturday from 1-3 p.m. there will be a …
FireProof: the moive
Eric and I went to this movie Sunday night. It is really quite good and well done. It focuses on a marriage that is headed toward divorce and the love dare that challenges one of the spouses to fight a bit longer for the marriage. Our small group is going to work through the Love Dare book this fall. I …
Red Mom, Blue Mom
For those of us who are more than a tad tired of the Mommy Wars…here’s a clever story and reading by my online friend Dena Dyer. Enjoy. And remember that though we may disagree on politics, what really matters at the end of the day is what we believe about God, Jesus and our faith. Hope you can laugh with …
Financial Bailout thought
Here’s a link to Dave Ramsey’s thoughts on the government bail out and an alternative. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of hearing Senator Shelby and others say, “it’s not my fault.” That may very well be true, but let’s look for a solution rather than talk in front of the cameras. This plan may be one step …
Fireproof the Movie and the Love Dare
Interviews at the Fireproof Screening from Gina Conroy on Vimeo. My friend Gina Conroy had the opportunity to attend the screening for Fireproof this summer, and the above is her interview with the lead actress and movie producer. It was fun to get this email from her, because on Sunday our small group decided that we are going to work …
