The Life on the Goldilocks Planet Books are Available in Print and as Kindle ebooks!

   

I recently wrote about my Life on the Goldilocks Planet books as they make fantastic books for the entire family to enjoy. Today I am very happy to let you know while you are able to get these books as paperback books, the entire series is also available as Kindle ebooks on Amazon!

Since I am older, I enjoy books in their printed form, but I know many people really like being able to get their books in a digital format, so if this is how you, or someone you love enjoys books, you are able to get the Life on the Goldilocks Planet books in their very portable ebook format!  

These books are interesting, fun, engaging, and fantastic tools to help you hand down confident faith. I am not the only one who believes these books are an excellent tool to help you hand down confident faith - look what people are saying about it . . . 

Back-to-School Handprint Prayers

The new school year is about to begin - believe it or not, so today I'm happy to share with you an idea to help you to encourage your grandchildren (of any age and in any location) and hand down a heritage of confident faith to them as well. Now, I know I shared this idea before, but with the start of school, if you did not try this idea in the past, now is the perfect time to do so.

Today is National Burger Day

I think it is safe to say, most Americans enjoy a good burger, so a day to celebrate this favorite food will likely be a tasty day! I thought it would be fun on this day of the burger, to find some burger facts; did you know . . . 

Grandparent's Day Gift Idea - Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures: For the Children You Love Who Walk With God & Those Who Do Not

Grandparent's Day is always the first Sunday in September following Labor Day - this year it is on the 7th, so if you are looking for a gift for a grandparent you love, take a look at Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures: For the Children You Love Who Walk With God & Those Who Do Not. We do not know what the future holds. We are not able to see "under the surface" (think ice bergs - we are able to see the part above the water, but not the much larger part under the water.) If we are experiencing challenges in our lives, it is very possible we have to wait to see what God has planned.

Doing this "waiting" is oftentimes extremely difficult, but in all honesty, there is no other option than for us to wait. Yes, we may become discouraged or angry, but choosing instead to trust God and wait is the choice which is best.

Grandparent's Day Gift Idea - Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Grandparents & Parents, Too!

Grandparents Day is on September 7th, so if you are looking for a gift to give a grandparent in your life, consider  Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Grandparents & Parents, Too! When you look at the world around you, do you wonder how your grandchildren/children will possibly grow up to love, know and follow God with faithful hearts? There are so many things to deceive them and side-track or derail their walk with God. But, we do not have to wonder or worry. No! We are able to do something about it! We are able to pray and know God not only hears our prayers, but He listens and answers them as well!

New Topper from Pair Eyewear - Rainbow Splatter!

This past January when I had to get new glasses, I decided to try Pair Eyewear. This line of glasses was designed to have magnetic top frames which you are able to change out for an entirely new look and style - it is SUCH a fantastic idea! It is like getting an entirely new pair of glasses for only $25 or $30 - the cost of a new topper. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE Pair Eyewear!

I just ordered and received a new topper - Rainbow Splatter! What isn't there to love about a topper with colored splattered dots all over it! It is so much fun with all the color - a unique look for sure!

Today is National Ice Cream Pie Day!

My family LOVES peanut-butter pie! I've been making it for years . . . ever since my sister shared the recipe with me when I was first married . . . my family has been forever grateful to my sister for this! :^)

Well, a couple years ago it occurred to me, if I "tweaked" the recipe just a bit and substituted ice cream for the whipped cream, I might end up with a wonderful, new pie! So, I told my family they were going to be "guinea pigs" for a new peanut-butter pie recipe with ice cream in it . . . they said they were completely willing to be "guinia pigs" for that recipe! :^)

Grandparent's Day Gift Idea - The DNA of Grandparents & Parents Who Hand Down Confident Faith

  

Grandparents Day is September 7th this year - and yes, it is a real holiday! If you are looking for a gift for a grandparent you love to help them make the most of handing down confident faith, consider this book - The DNA of Grandparents & Parents Who Hand Down Confident Faith.

In this book I look at how our physical DNA is a truly amazing and essential part of who we are, as it holds the "code" or instructions for the things which make us unique as well as for the things we share. It connects us with the generations who came before us; as well as with those who come behind. It is the core of who we are physically.
