The Tallest of Smalls, by Max Lucado, Illustrated by Maria Monescillo. We all want to be special. We want to fit in, to belong, to be more. This incredible book addresses this need. We follow a story of a boy named Ollie who wants to be selected for something that would make him special. Once he is selected he finds out the true meaning of what it means to be loved by God.
The way that the story rhymes, reminded me of a Dr. Seuss book. The illustrations are fantastic. It is a book that I would buy for my kids and kids that I know. It is a powerful message that the kids will want read to them over, and over again. Thanks Max Lucado for another awesome children’s book.
I was very excited to get this cook book. Fast, frugal and healthy food, what more could you want. I liked how a lot of the recipes had pictures with them. They could have been a little bigger but they still work. There are some very easy, inexpensive healthy meals in it. But there are also meals that aren’t so frugal or that healthy in it. At least not by my standards. They layout is great and the recipes are easy to read. Like most cookbooks you just cherry pick the ones you like.
I really enjoyed some of the recipes I tried and look forward to trying some others. But who doesn’t love a new cookbook.
Max Lucado’s book “Fearless” came at a great time. We are going through a lot of changes in our lives with jobs, sick parents, and our housing situation. We are all fearfull of something it seems. Sometimes we don’t even know it. Thanks to Max’s book you will be able to see it and to work through it. He has a chapter dedicated to our largest fears in society today. It also has a discussion guide in the back that would be great for a small group. “Fearless” is a book that I would recomend to many friends. Check it out, you won’t be sorry.
The I Believe Bunny by Tish Rabe is an excellent book for very young kids. The illustrations are fantastic. They will definitely hold the child’s attention. The story line is simple so that the kids understand it and want it read to them over, and over again. It’s awesome that God’s message can be made so simple a child understands it. It is a series that families will cherish for years to come.
My wife is a preschool teacher and said that her kids would love it.
Just finished an incredible book called “The Noticer” by Andy Andrews. At first look I thought what kind of story can be captured on only 156 pages. Boy did I get a schooling. I was hooked from the first chapter. It has changed my perspective on life in a huge way.
The story all takes place in the town of Orange Beach, Alabama. A gentleman named Jones, not Mr. Jones just simply Jones was making life changing differences for so many people. Jones was all about perspective. It was amazing to see how peoples lives changed because of a new perspective.
The words of wisdom in this book are incredible. I have post it notes on my desk top with different quotes in it from the book. That is not normal for me. I am looking forward to rereading it again. Which I rarely reread a book.
A town of people where changed forever in the story of the book. A world of people will be changed forever by reading this book.
Hi everyone we are enjoying Boise. Kayla is starting to get settled into her new school. She is taking beggining guitar and loves it. Kim is trying to get used to the big campus of BSU. Verla is starting to get into a routine at her new school and is starting to like it. I am still looking for work. Hopefully the Lord blesses soon on this. I changed my phone number to a local one. So if you want it, shoot me an email.
Wow it is hard to believe it is already just a week away. We will be loading up all our stuff and head across country to the land of potatoes. IT has been so crazy trying to get everything done in time. But I think we are setting good.
Verla has taken a job at a new preschool in the area. She is really excited about that. We have found a house that will be perfect for us. It even has a community pool. Yeah!!! I have applied with DirecTV to be an installer. I will have an interview with them the Monday after we get there. I think I would really like it and the money would meet our needs. Things have just been falling into place through out this whole thing. It has been so cool to be a part of God’s plan.
If you want to get together before we leave, you need to hurry and set up a time, our calender is filling up fast. We would love to see you though so make sure to call.
I have been spending more time on facebook than here so come by and say hi.
I bet that got everyones attention. lol. It has been a long time since I have wrote and obviously a lot has been happening. First let me tell you that we are all doing great. God has been so good to us.
The above headline is true. We are moving to Boise in August. God is blessing us with an awesome opportunity to help with a church plant there. It has been something that Verla and I have always wanted to do. We are going with an incredible team. I will be posting more about it in the future.
My main reason to start this conversation is I am looking for prayer coverage. We are going to be in a huge spiritual battle and need your prayer protection. Would you please join us in prayer daily for this. I will send out an update every few weeks with specific prayer needs and praises. If you are willing, please send me an email at hikeoflife@gmail.com
“If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God,
“I’ll get you out of any trouble.
I’ll give you the best of care
if you’ll only get to know and trust me.
Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times;
I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party.
I’ll give you a long life,
give you a long drink of salvation!”
Psalm 91:14-16 (The Message)
