Quirky Things about Me

I like #7 so I’m going to list Seven Quirky Things about Me (actually, my favorite number is 12 but I don’t want to overdo it because you may never come back here again after seeing how strange unique I am).  Here they are:

1. I am allergic to hazelnuts.  My allergic reaction includes rash and swelling.  Once my swelling got so bad that my husband had to saw (using a little saw) a gold ring off my finger.  Thankfully, he left my finger intact…mission accomplished :) .

2. I have never been afraid to go to the dentist.  I even enjoy going to the dentist :) .  I like sitting in a comfy, reclining chair doing nothing except opening my mouth wide.  I spend that time to pray and relax.

3. I love spicy food and I can have spicy food at any meal, including breakfast.  Rice with curry is better than a bowl of cereal for sure :) !

4. I rub (play with) my nose when I’m in deep thought.  I don’t know why but maybe my nose knows :) .

5. I have never had a driver’s license.  I just keep renewing my instruction permit.  My children probably will get their driver’s license before me.  Oh well, I’ll just gain more chauffeurs :) .

6. I don’t like bananas.  I have never liked them and never will :) .  When I was little, my mom hid bananas with other food to get me to eat them but I always knew :)

7. I smile and laugh A LOT!  (to the point of "too much" )  Seriously, this is no laughing matter!  I have to consciously force myself to leave giggles out of my speech and to have a straight/stern face.  Extremely difficult task for me!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study.  I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
