Book review & carrot cake



Redeeming Love by Fancine Rivers may be one of the most powerful and inspirational books I have ever read. Rivers' tale of a young, Christian man marrying a prostitute had touched my soul more than any devotional has ever done. Michael's love for Angel surpass' none other, except for God's love of course. Through his love, and God's guidance, Angel had gone from a lonely and sinful life to one of love and joy. I highly recommend this book to anyone who might be struggling in their relationship with Christ.


Last night, after watching three lovely children while their parents went off to church, I had the opportunity to sit down, relax, and watch barbie movies with the little ones. It always moves me when I watch a young family grow. But what especially touched me last night was how the five year old boy was just as excited to watch barbie as the little girls. It sort of confirmed by belief that society is to blame for the hatred and prejudices in this world. Children are so innocent and pure, and I genuinely believe that we can learn so much about life from them... if only we listen. When their mom and dad got home, they brought me home some carrot cake. Such a great family!

ADVICE OF THE DAY: Don't just hear, you must listen. Take time and practice doing this. It makes a world of difference!
