As you might have noticed I have been quiet lately. There is
a good reason for this and that is we do not have regular Internet right now we
opted to drop the service we have and plan to get something else when we find
something that works for us. I hope it will not be too long but until then I
will try to post something once a week. I hope you will all stick with me and
watch for future posts. I am hoping to grow my blogs and to get more followers.
Stay tuned we will be back shortly.
This week’s post I thought I might share with you what I
have been doing and reading. I have a couple of suggestions of books for
Christmas gifts this year too. So let’s get started.
On Labor Day my husband had a 3 day weekend. We didn’t have
anything really planned but relaxing and when I say relaxing I mean going to a
museum and parade. We started out by going to the Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop and
Farm in Olathe Ks. We enjoyed looking at all the buildings and interacting with
the living history people at the farm. The one thing I didn’t do was take the
few minute Stagecoach Ride but if I had taken the grandkids with me I probably
would have. This is a nice little outing and really didn’t cost that much, $6 for
adults which helps them keep the place going. They have a couple of special
days coming up that we plan on going to, first is the Wild West Days and the
other is Cemetery Tours. I will be posting later about them. On Monday we went
and enjoyed the Louisburg KS Labor Day parade with our son, daughter in law and
little grandson. He seemed to enjoy it more this year. Funniest thing he did
was when they threw candy to the kids he picked it up and threw it back to them.
That’s what we encourage him to do when we are playing catch so I guess that is
what he thought he was supposed to do. He loved the band especially the drums,
maybe he is a musician at heart. We had a good weekend and it was nice to not
have to hurry around to get the hubby off to work and all the other things the
normal week includes.
One thing about not having Internet is that I am getting more reading done and crocheting which is not all bad. The two books I would recommend for ideas for Christmas are
The Quick-Start Guide to the Whole Bible by Dr. William H
Marty and Dr. Boyd Seevers
it
is an excellent resource for those who want to delve more into the Bible and
their studies. Next is The Busy Mamas Bible Study 30 days in 1 Corinthians 13
by Pam Forster. It is a great Bible Study especially for those who seem to run
out of time, they think, to read and study the Bible.
For those who like Christian Fiction I would suggest Annie's Stories An Ellis Island Novel by Cindy Thomson it is a wonderful book. For those who like real nonfiction and are football fans I recommend Sidelined by
Chuck Pagano it is the story of his battle with Leukemia and his Faith to get
through the struggle. These are just a few of the books I suggest and have read lately.
Last I have been trying to study my Bible more, with all
that is going on in the world I believe now more than ever we need to be closer
to God and to be studying, reading and memorizing His Word. I am starting a new study of Daniel and also
1 Corinthians this week and hope you will join me. If you are leave a comment
and we can share thoughts on what we are studying.
Verse for memorizing this week is
Psalms 119:105 Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light
unto my path KJV
I am also already starting on Christmas gifts and ideas so
that we get a head start this year. I believe that homemade gifts that are made
with love are the best. I hope to incorporate homemade with little things I buy
for those I have to buy for. Most of all I want to remember and share the real
reason for Christmas and share God’s love with others, what better gift is
there but to share Jesus with others?
That’s what has been happening and the plans for the week.
Remember that on Oct 3 the Left behind movie will be in theatres so plan on
going to see it.
