Review: This book was great for my son and me. My son is 8 years old and followed along with the words nice and smoothly. I loved that there were different ethnic backgrounds for the children in the book, displaying diversity, just as in a child’s real classroom and school.  Kathryn Cole d...

Outlaw by Ted Dekker I am not finished reading this as of now; however, I must stop and take the time to say how adventurous this read is!  Completely different from anything I’ve read before, this one is a powerful and thought provoking one.   I’m am beyond anxious to finish this!  Half-way through so far, I will update when I’ve reached the finished line!!!

Three by Ted Dekker Book Review Thanks to my pastor’s wife, Three by Ted Dekker was the very first christian fiction book I’ve ever read.  I wasn’t even aware that christian fiction existed, and after reading Three, I was reawakened into a whole new world.   It combined my love for suspense, thrills, excitement and faith! Ted is a master of twists and turns in this book and will you keep turning page after page until the book is finished.  The end is so unexpected that it will leave you with your mouth open and wandering just how Ted’s mind works in order for him to write such great fiction!  I read it in 2 days! What an exhilarating ride!

The Choosing by Rachelle Dekker Review When I searched Christian Science Fiction, I had no idea this book by this author would pop up. The last name is what caught my eye, but the first name is what left me intrigued. Who was this girl? Was she a relative of Ted Dekker?  On Amazon, they give you a sneek peak into this novel. I was completely sucked in, just by that! I told my husband, I had to get this book, but I needed a B&N coupon first. Well, I couldn’t even wait for that. Last Friday I made an excuse to go the store and bought this one…full price and everything! Anyone who knows me, knows this is a rarity.  Rachelle, has an amazing talent of world building. I felt like I was in the novel more than handful of times. The way she describes the characters lets you see them, feel them and even become them. She has a way of making each chapter a page turner and must read.  With the different POV’s, and angles in this story, I would highly recommend to anyone that l...

Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick Book Review Ms. Fitzpatrick’s tale Black Ice was quite interesting to say the least.  As a stand alone, it was filled with suspense and a forbidden type of love that only makes you want to turn the pages faster and faster until you discover what you need to happen.  She doesn’t leave anyone wanting more and continues to impress, even after her  Hush, Hush Saga.

Made Believe Bad Luck-  A Possible Perspective From A Dead Beat Dad. Made Believe Bad Luck Irene Justice He’s my son, I should be able to do anything with him that I choose.  No one should tell me what to say or how to act.  If I want to do drugs, that’s my prerogative.  If I want to drink, I can, I’m of age.  I’m a good father because I pick up my son every other weekend.  Some parents don’t see their children at all. I don’t need to buy my son presents. My parents do it and basically that’s from me.  I want to work.  I always tell everyone that I can’t wait to have a good job.  These side jobs and factory jobs aren’t worth my time and I’m not going to let anyone talk to me in a disrespectful manner.   My son’s mother and her new husband, take care of everything for our son, so, if I can’t find a job right away it’s no big deal.  They don’t really need my child support anyway.   I enjoy smoking pot.  I don’t r...

Expect the Unexpected Waking up extra early for absolutely no apparent reason on a day you are capable of sleeping in.  Making a whole bowl of cereal and realizing after the first bite the cereal is stale. Jumping in the shower too soon after someone and having the water turn cold while just adding the conditioner to your hair. Sitting in line at drive thru starving and then made to pull over and wait for your fries. Going to bed and expecting to wake up to a foot of snow and instead waking up to rain. Expecting an A on a paper and receiving a C. Making a crockpot dinner and not switching to the temperature to low before you head off to work for the next 8 hours. Waiting for the next episode of your favorite TV show and then it’s cut off by a political address. Well… I think I’ll go back to sleep now. Goodnight.

The loneliness Another night that I won’t be able to sleep.  Another day that I won’t be able to smile.  Staring at a ceiling with thoughts so deep.  Nothing I can do but lay here awhile. Time has left me so utterly alone.  I try to stay strong and fight. No matter how I try my feelings are shown. I can’t tell anymore what wrong from what’s right. The grass is no longer green.  The sky is marvelously grey. My future though far off and unseen, Is slowly but ultimately fading away. I can’t keep going.  I won’t even try. As my heart continues slowing,  What’s lost is gone, no more good byes.

A precious thought I seen you today. Charming and handsome. Filling my heart. The few moments our eyes met. My dream is filled with you tonight.  Another smile on my face.

Loud Heart Oh, the waves of my heart are constantly pounding the shore of my mind!  Why am I so lost when it comes to matters of love?  I need guidance! Someone to tell me to wake up and move on.  I fear even that won’t be enough though.  I must bare this burden and strive to move forward and let thoughts only wonder.  He will not fit with me nor I with him.  We are stripes and spots. We are water and fire.  Only now I can see through the water so clear. Only now have the ripples faded and the tiny pebbles of truth are visible. Life will go on.  Hopes and aspirations will continue to come. What can’t happen now might happen later.  Real love always finds a way.

Can it hurt to have more than one blog? Of course not!  First post now, many to come!!
