Shades of Blue

I finished reading Shades of Blue by Karen Kingsbury today.  Wow. What a book.  I don't know if it's my favorite by her but it's probably touched me more than all of her others...but I think it's because of what it taught me.  It's hard to explain...even though I've been the last week and a half trying to explain to someone in my life why this whole forgiveness thing is so important to me.  I'm hoping that some of you will pick up a copy and read it.  I didn't expect to learn 90% of what I did.  Plus, I posted a song the other day...Take You Back by Jeremy Camp.  A song I loved but haven't heard in awhile and then came across again the other day.  I didn't realize God would bring it into my life again today through the book.  But He's good like that!  I hope you read it.  It's a great book.

But as a shared...I don't know...a week ago, I've decided to try something on there.  I haven't found much interest yet but that's ok.  That almost makes me more determined!  If you'd like to join in, AWESOME!  The more participants, the better.  And as I said, if I get enough interest, I'll start giving books away! 

The book for May is called Listen by Rene Gutteridge.  If you want to read more about it, just check out the info I had listed a week or so ago.  Gonna Try Something.  I'm going to start reading tonight.  I hope some of you will join in.  I plan to write about it as I read things that interest me, move me, or whatever.  I hope that you'll read along, come and leave your comments and your thoughts as well.  I'll post the book for June sometime in the middle of the month.  That way you have plenty of time to get the book if you want to join in.  And if I get lots of people interested, that will give me time to have some type of contest to give a free book away!!!  So please, join in!!!

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Lots of Names

Well, this is my fourth Friday in my apartment!!! It really does feel like home for the most part!!! Tera helped me...wait...I take that back. Tera MOVED my swing and table from mom and dad's a few weeks ago and so that is now on my deck! I love it!! Although, I have to admit that I haven't been home too much to enjoy it but at least I know it's there. Hopefully I'll get the chance to relax on my swing this weekend. I set my smoke alarm off the other night! That was funny! I was cooking a chicken patty and some fries in the oven. All of a sudden I hear this loud beeping! Of course once I realized it was the smoke alarm, I ran into the kitchen. Everything was good in there! Food was cooking just fine! Apparently it just got too hot in here for the smoke alarm. The funny part though is me standing on the chair trying to figure out why the alarm won't quit chirping every 45 seconds...even after I took out the battery! So after a text to the landlords (who laughed), I r...
