need help with adult kids?

Need help with your adult children? If you are too busy to read, or just not a reader, here’s the book for you. You don’t have to read it. Just leave it lying around somewhere where it will be seen and watch how it works. The book is Setting Boundaries With Your Adult Children: six steps to hope and healing for struggling parents by Allison Bottke.

I bought a copy for a friend but I was too busy to send it to her right away so it sat on the edge of my desk for a few weeks. Each of my adult children discovered it on their own, read the title, choked up, and came to me asking what they had done to drive me to such extremes! It was the ultimate teachable moment and I hadn’t even opened the book yet. Thank you Allison. I did eventually read it and it is full of wisdom learned the hard way – as all good wisdom is.

Give A Little:

Are you brokenhearted for Haiti and want to help but have little you can spare? Then you must read Give a Little: how your small donations can transform our world by Wendy Smith. I picked up this book in an airport bookstore and couldn’t put it down. It is loaded with accurate information on how the little you give can make a huge difference. Wendy lists dozens of trustworthy organizations and their contact information in the Appendix. World Vision, an organization I am proud to work with, is one of the many listed there. No donation is too small Give A Little

Slice of Life

Don’t live in a small town if you can’t behave:

I never thought I’d say this but living in a small town has its disadvantages. Don’t get me wrong, I love my little community; there’s no better place to raise kids. But the very thing that makes you feel safe – that people know each other – can also come back to bite you if you misbehave. Read More

Food Blog

Blender Soup – the ultimate winter fare! Sharon Kinvig introduced me to blender soup while I stayed in her home in the far north in late November. Easy to make and easy to store, it is hearty enough for après ski but not too heavy for a first course. The flavor and smooth texture is pure comfort food. I’ve made several batches myself. Bon Apetit! Read More

A Great New Bible Study

Are you looking for a Bible Study for yourself or a group? I highly recommend Kathy Howard’s latest study due for release March 1

God’s Truth Revealed: Biblical Foundations for the Christian Faith. Author Kathy Howard guides participants through the Bible to understand the importance of knowing God, not just knowing about Him. In addition to practical, straightforward teaching and thought-provoking, interactive questions, each chapter also includes the real-life story of an individual who became a Christian as an adult. This book can be used by individuals but is even more effective in a small group study. Click here for info and the book trailer
