Heartwarming
I love to read when I go to bed. It relaxes me. I usually fall asleep while I am reading. The only time it isn’t relaxing is when I fall asleep and my book hits the floor with a bang. Hubby is not too happy when that happens.
I have been enjoying a collection of stories […]Get Published

Corrie Ten Boom
One of my favorite authors is Corrie Ten Boom. I suppose I should use past tense because I believe that she has gone to heaven.
When I read her book, The Hiding Place, I learned more about the Grace that God gives people to be tolerant of those who hurt them. It is an amazing […]What Books Did You Start Reading?
What were the books that got you interested in reading? I have heard that many kids today are reading because of their love for the Harry Potter books. That is wonderful. It is so much easier to get a child to read when they enjoy what they are reading.

I surprised myself by getting engrossed in a book called The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. I am always fascinated by books that show how people lived their day to day lives in the early years that we read about in the Bible. The Red Tent depicted what life might have been like for the […]

Love To Read
As you can tell by this blog, I love to read. Not everyone is fortunate to have the ability to read come to them naturally. For kids who cannot get the connection that allows them to read, it is a struggle with everything they want to do. It is amazing how hard things become when […]
Cormac McCarthy
[tag]Oprah[/tag] grabbed an interview with [tag]Cormac McCarthy[/tag]. McCarthy is a recluse who feels he should be writing and not be talking about writing. It sounds like, from reading at CNN online, that he is an unusual person. He doesn’t talk like someone who is proud that millions of people read his books. His book “The […]
