MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
"For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6

"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life."
John 3:16

CHRISTmas time's a comin'! (Mallary Hope - Christmas Is All About You)
I hope this blog post finds you well and excited about CHRISTmas!
I had a sad moment today when stopping at a Subway for lunch with my mama; we were laughing and having a good time with the young man making our sandwiches and we made comments in a positive and excited way about CHRISTmas coming up soon!
He looked up at me and said how nice it was that we were excited and happy about CHRISTmas;
no one else he had served was happy about it.
Everyone he talked to the day before was angry about
the CHRISTmas season.
I gently made the comment
that perhaps they don't understand the reason for CHRISTmas.
Later while out feeding our animals and doing ranch chores this song came on the radio (KLove station) and I thought
THIS IS IT!
THIS is what I meant in song form!
THIS is what some people need to hear!
Now I know quite a few people have lost loved ones this season and I have been there.
It is hard!
It can be unbearable!
But without grasping Christ's hand in CHRISTmas and in life,
EVERYTHING is truly unbearable!
So as I said above, I hope this finds you well, but if it doesn't I hope this song can be a balm to your hurting heart
and the love and gift of Jesus comforts and mends you!
It's not about the lights and decorations, it's not about the tangible gifts you do or maybe don't receive. It's all REALLY only about one thing; Jesus Christ coming down from heaven to be the ultimate gift for each and every one of us.
Merry CHRISTmas y'all!

Hope's Highest Mountain by Misty M. Beller
Book Description:
On her way to deliver vaccines to a mining town in the Montana Territory, Ingrid Chastain never anticipated a terrible accident would leave her alone and badly injured in the wilderness. When rescue comes in the form of a mysterious mountain man, she's hesitant to trust him, but the journey ahead will change their lives more than they could have known.
My Opinion:
I'm torn with this one.
First off let me start by saying this is the first book from Misty
I have read so far. I really enjoyed the characters for the most part and I LOVED how it started. Though as it went on in the beginning I kept feeling like I would have prefered if the trauma had been written in more of a "this is what happened" sort of way instead of in such vivid detail. Also I would have personally preferred if some of the traumatic things that happen to these characters hadn't been squeezed in there! LOL! But that could just be me personally. There were a few times I was thinking "well that probably could have been left out" because I'm not sure it added to the story. I also felt that there were times when the romance was a little too detailed or I didn't connect with the details. But all of that aside I absolutely LOVE the Faith scenes in this book! Threads of Romans 8:28 and Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 are woven throughout the lives of these characters and expressed in beautiful ways!

WARNING!
WARNING!: I would like to warn parents whose children watch the cartoon Arthur. Since I grew up watching this show I still enjoyed watching it even now that I'm grown up. But after what I saw last night I will not be watching Arthur anymore. Through the episodes the writers have made some, all be it minor, mistakes with the storyline and the characters, but the reason I will not have it in my house again isn't due to this but because of the writers choice to make the beloved character Mr. Ratburn a homosexual. On so many levels I have a problem with this, but especially and mainly from a Christian standpoint. Sadly, in this day and age, it's common for tv and movies to try and force sexual sin into everything for adults, but it's a whole new level of WRONG when children's programming is starting to force it upon our children! The devil is attacking our babies in every way ya'll, WATCH OUT!

The Tinderbox Audio Review!!!!!!!
The Tinderbox by Beverly Lewis
Audio Review Notes:
Psalm 69:2
“I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.”
1 John 1:9
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Ephesians 4:23-24
“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Psalm 31:1-2
“In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.”
Micah 6:8
“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
WOW! What a read! Beverly Lewis still's got it, not that she'll ever loose it but man what a unique and captivating plot this book has! And the ending! WOW! I can't wait for the conclusion to this story she's got me totally hooked! For starters I have ALWAYS loved and still love Ella Mae the Wise Woman of Hickory Hollow, and that leads me to say I've always LOVED Hickory Hollow. So returning there is always a treat for me! These chatacters are dear to my heart and I enjoyed how Beverly jumps from one character's percpective to the next and how it kept me in the loop so to speak on what each individual is thinking. And the twists! WOW! I also LOVE the amount of scripture and spiritual insights Beverly weaves through out, I know of one message in particular where Sylvia's mom, Rhoda expresses her inability to carry the weight of a problem and so gives it The Lord to carry, I really loved the way it's expressed and written and REALLY needed this message at the time! Personally I'm not fond of Sylie's beau at this time and I can't wait to see where Beverly takes that thread and oh man, let me just say that this book ends with a bit of a mushroom cloud twisty shocking moment that has left me longing for September's release!
LOVE IT!
Songs that I think fit this book are: He Knows Jeremy Camp, Carry Me Josh Wilson, and Glow In The Dark Jason Gray
