Quiet Moments


We just came across this book recently and absolutely loved it. I am not a regular reader of many books other than the Bible. However, a friend of mine highly recommended this one and said you won't be able to put it down... and she is not normally that way with books either.

It is true - I could not put this one down and I believe I finished it in less than two days. I was so sad when I was done though hoping that I could continue to hear of more details about Heaven. My friend said the same thing - she was hoping there was another book out there with a similar testimony. Our oldest daughter is reading it now and I am looking forward to hearing her perspective of it .

This one sure did strengthen my faith and draw me even closer to Jesus!

What have you read lately that has made a great impact upon your walk with the Lord? Any books that have led you into greater intimacy with HIM?

Sea World Beach Clean Up

We had a WONDERFUL time volunteering for the beach clean up with Sea World at the Cape Canaveral National Seashore this past weekend. We are so grateful that our friends invited us to join them. It was a beautiful day with a refreshing breeze that produced some pretty impressive waves.

What a blessing it was for our whole family to serve the community and be a part of such an important event! We were there to clean up the beach of any trash or debris that could interfere with the sea turtle hatchlings and their upcoming journey into the ocean. Several small families gathered together for a few hours to make one huge difference.  The kids and the parents alike learned a lot on this adventure...and what a beautiful environment to do so!
