Go Visit

If you haven't yet been to visit Mary Pierce's website, I'd like to invite you to take a peek. She is an inspirational author who writes frequently for Focus on the Family and has published three books.

I am reading her Twister book, but haven't read the Potato Head/Barbie book. I think Mary has a thing for toys :) She is a humorist and is aptly labeled the "Laugh Lady."

I just won her book, Confessions of a Prayer Wimp through a giveaway at her blog. I was tickled pink because this title always intrigued me. Someday in the near future I'll give a good review of her books that I've read.

I was just telling the ladies at Bible study that I want to be Mary (Pierce, that is, not the mother of our Lord!) Hee hee - maybe someday I will be my own version of Mary Pierce. Not as funny though.

Can I tell you why I admire her so much? She is the president of my writer's guild and she has been a great inspiration to me. She has taught me so much by willingly sharing her secrets to success. She is incredibly modest and honest. Of course, you can see that in her writing too.

So, go visit Mary and tell her I sent you. Leave her a comment or drop her a note to enter the free giveaway contest. Then, she'll be tickled pink too!

I can't leave a comment on her blog, because I am not registered for her site, but I dropped her a note...I am so glad that you and Laurel pointed to her site :)

Cool that she is your mentor.

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? by Phillip Yancey

Shannon, at Rocks in my Dryer , is hosting a huge giveaway! Isn't that exciting! I love to give something meaningful to my friends - as I shop, I always look for just the right item that fits our relationship and the individual's personality. So, if you stop by this little blog of mine, I think you might like this gift I've picked out. This fall, I have been nourished by the wisdom of Phillip Yancey in his recent book on prayer. Our Bible study has plumbed the depths of prayer with Yancey's help in this amazing book. My personal prayer life has been challenged and I have probed the deeper questions surrounding prayer with a beloved mentor. I would love for you to enjoy this book too. I'll be giving the book away to one blessed commenter. So, leave a comment here and I'll be drawing a name next week to give away this treasure box full of well-mined jewels from God's Word and life's experiences. Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in the draw...

Thankful Thursday

A few things that fill my heart with gratitude... *Bright explosions in the sky *Bug repellent *Calamine and band aids for when we forget about the bug repellent (and the polka dot girl I put to bed each night whose sensitive skin seems to attract the little suckers) *Days spent at the beach *Life jackets *Aloe, although it can't take away a lobster red sunburn, it does soothe *Photographs and memories *The public library. My family has been enjoying plenty of summer library programs. *Ok, I'm even thankful for cockroaches. The kids sure had fun playing with the huge ones the "Bug Guy" Brought in for the last program we attended. They even ate a few bugs. (I am NOT joking!) I, on the other hand, found it conveniently necessary to excuse myself to the restroom right around the time the roaches and tarantulas were being brought out. *I'm thankful for a new job...which will be starting soon (more on that later). *Green slime, explosions, goggles and lab coats...yes,...

God's Encouragement

I am thankful this week for so much, but I have to share my little piece of encouraging news first. I submitted a little article to our newspaper and then I found out they don't accept unsolicited submissions, so I forgot all about it. Then, in our paper today, I saw my article! It was a little encouragement from God to keep plowing away at this writing thing even when it seems difficult. He is so tender-hearted toward me, I feel overwhelmed! I'm also thankful for the world class concert I attended today. I would have paid top notch prices for this concert which played out in a small bedroom with a karaoke. The first artist was a young singer who wrote her own music (straight from her heart) and the song was something about glorifying God by loving Him in all we do. She sang as she danced about in her ballerina costume. Next up was a short toucan with a toddler face peeping out and a loud voice. His arms moved to the music as he told us "My God is so big, so stwo...
