CHILDREN'S BOOK MONDAY: I ran across a contest from http://mamahooper.blogspot.com/

I love children's books! I regularly read picture book to my students although many of them have moved on to thicker books, chapter books and have gotten hooked on a series. This book is an all time favorite in our house.

Mrs. Fannie's Hat's is written by Jan Karon, author of The Mitford Years. In this story, the character, Miss Fannie, has a closet full of hats and a life full of adventures. Each Sunday, she has different had to wear that she chooses from her collection. Miss Fannie's friends love seeing which hat she will wear next, but they always know that on Easter, she will wear her special Easter bonnet. Miss Fannie makes a tough decision when her church need money to fix the place up. This is a great story about kindness, generousity and giving to others. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for ages 1-100!

What is your recommendation?

For Every Season

Ecclesiastes 3 states that to everything there is a season.....it is now time to give in and join the blogging world! Not sure why I have been so reluctanct to do this. I have a myspace page to keep in better contact with the kids in our youth group, friends from college and friends from the past....but I really have wanted a blog for quite some time..I suppose I have doubted my writing skills, that I might not have anything to say, (highly doubt that) or that I might not have the time to keep up with the site. I have thrown all of those concerns to the wayside and have decided to write what I can, when I can and however I can.......

I have become a faithful reader to many blogs over the last few years and have always marveled at the wonderful group of blogging friends I have made. So much so, that I find myself praying for them on several occasions. What a great way to share your thoughts, struggles and prayer requests, as well as, insights into God's Word, our daily walk with Him and this life in general.

So, be my friend, tell me your thoughts and help me get this ball rolling!
