Cell phone renewal soon

Posted by: Jodi  :  Category: Random, product ideas

Hubby can renew his contract in a few months and get get a new phone. We are trying to figure out which one to go with. Do we go with a smart phone like a samsung htc, or do we go with the basic cheapy one (that has a qwerty keyboard), that has the option of buy one get one free, so we can add Trent to our plan? More than likely it will be the latter, as I am too cheap.

I would love to have an iPhone, but do I really need to have the option of internet on my phone?!?!

Do you remember?

Do you remember making modge podge plaques? I was browsing some craft blogs/sites, and saw someone posted about modge podge. I remember making a few of these way back when, while I was in Camp Fire girls. I couldn’t tell what we actually did, but I remember how much fun it was. I may have to try this out again, and see if I could come up with a cute craft idea to add to a craft booth I want to do this fall. So many ideas running through my head, just need to get them written down and follow through with it!

Book Review ~ Judgement Day by Wanda L. Dyson

I was excited to get this book, I have read a few of her books in the past and really like her style of writing. At first the book started out a little slow, but once I got into it, it was a page turner. With these suspense/thriller books, I try to figure out the plot before I actually read it, but this one I was second guessing myself all the way to the end.

You can purchase it from WaterBrook Multnomah, or from where ever you purchase your books.

Dug Down Deep ~ book review

I really enjoyed this book. God works in mysterious ways, as this has been a message I keep hearing about… “Digging deeper”. We are doing a life builder series at our church, so this book is making me dig a little deeper.  There was a question that really made me stop and think:  “Do you love the Cross because it makes much of you?  or Do you love it because it enables you ot enjoy an eternity of making much of God? Wow!  How powerful is that?  It has helped me get back on track with my walk with Christ.

Synopsis

What will you build your life on?

With startling transparency, Joshua Harris shares how we can rediscover the relevance and power of Christian truth. This is book shows a young man who rose quickly to success in the Christian evangelical world before he realized his spirituality lacked a foundation—it rested more on tradition and morality than on an informed knowledge of God.

For the indifferent or spiritually numb, Harris’s humorous and engaging reflections on Christian beliefs show that orthodoxy isn’t just for scholars—it is for anyone who longs to know the living Jesus Christ. As Harris writes, “I’ve come to learn that theology matters. It matters not because we want to impress people, but because what we know about God shapes the way we think and live. Theology matters because if we get it wrong then our whole life will be wrong.”

Whether you are just exploring Christianity or you are a veteran believer finding yourself overly familiar and cold-hearted, Dug Down Deep will help you rediscover the timeless truths of Scripture. As Harris challenges you to root your faith and feelings about God in the person, work, and words of Jesus, he answers questions such as:

What is God like and how does he speak to me?What difference does it make that Jesus was both human and divine?How does Jesus’s death on the cross pay for my sins?Who is the Holy Spirit and how does he work in my life?
With grace and wisdom, Harris will inspire you to revel in the truth that has captured his own mind and heart. He will ask you to dig deep into a faith so solid you can build your life on it. He will point you to somethingto believe in again.

It goes on sale Jan. 19th, so look for it at your favorite book store like Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com.

Karen from WriteFromKaren has started a new meme, appropriately titled the ‘Monday Morning Meme’. It’s a lot of fun – won’t you join in?

1. Would you rather be extremely successful professionally and have a tolerable yet exciting private life, or have an extremely happy private life and only a tolerable and uninspiring professional life? Explain your answer, please. A happy private life. If the job is boring, then at least you can go home and be happy.

2. What are you doing to help the environment? Tell us how you cut down on your environmental impact. The only thing I have done is use those reusable bags at the stores.

3. Who would you not mind being stuck in an elevator with? Someone who’s handy could help get you out. Someone hot could help pass the time. List who’s in there with you. I would hope I would be stuck in there with my hubby… he’s a pretty handy guy.

4. How often does your family have their portrait taken? Is it professionally done? If possible, post your last family portrait. Now that I’ve got you thinking about it, when do you plan on having your next family portrait taken? We usually have one taken every year around Thanksgiving so I can use that for our Christmas card. I would like to have one done professionally, but trying to get everyone on the same schedule is a nightmare. We will have one taken again at Thanksgiving. Here’s the one from last year:
