Check out some of my latest blog posts. Then, check out a couple of posts from the archives - from way back when my original blog started. We have new title releases from Usborne Books that your kids will love. I only featured two in this newsletter, but you can find all of those here. Finally, there are some great Valentine's Day specials from my affiliates.
The Latest on the Blog
I know it's almost February but it is soooo cold outside. Here in North Georgia, the weather is as unpredictable as it gets. One day, we're breaking out our warmest winter clothes and the next day, we're pulling out our shorts and t-shirts. I remember one year way back, we had an ice storm. The next day, my mother and I were laying out in the sun in swimsuits while we watched the ice melt off the house. It was late March. (Please don't lay in the sun.

Life Interruptions Don't Always Make Sense
Life interruptions don't always make sense. Sometimes the things we feel God is calling us to do make no sense to us at all. If it doesn't make sense, then I don't want to do it. I'd much rather stay in a place that makes sense - a place where I'm comfortable.

It's easy to get used to a regular routine, staying just comfortable enough to be comfortable where I am. Jesus said, "Go deeper."
When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” - Luke 5:4When we resolve to "go deeper" in obedience to God - to reach out beyond our comfort zone, obedience yields amazing results. [Read more here.]
