Read any headlines lately? Seen the newest Halloween masks in the stores? Walk down the street alone in the dark? Yikes. It’s scary out there.
We live in a world that is frightening. War, greed, violence, selfishness, shortages…there seems to be plenty of that in this world.
What or who makes you feel safe?
Women’s libbers, sorry to burst your I-can-do-it-by-myself bubble, but my husband is my protector. I like it when my man opens my door for me. I like it when, as we walk, he gently places a protective hand at the small of my back to guide me around an obstacle in my path. I like it when, as we walk along a street, he walks closest to the traffic, providing me a barrier from possible danger and pot hole splashes.

I’m a blogger for PreciousMoms.com and I came across this great idea list on their website the other day. It’s a list of ideas for spending time with your daughter.
Here are some great ways to spend time with “just the girls:”
• Keep a stash of baking supplies on hand and ready to go so you can make the most of a rainy day by whipping up a variety of items. Once your creations have cooled, take a walk in the rain to deliver them to friends. You’ll spend a wonderful day working together making a delicious treat, and do something kind for someone else at the same time!
• Make homemade cards or pictures for kids at the local hospital, or a home for the elderly. Or write a letter to a far away relative
• Visit the local library and check out some new books to read aloud together
• Get out those photos and work on your albums together
• Create a family “newsletter” of recent events or happenings. This would be great to add to your holiday cards!
• Write a story together. Try writing about Katie and her friends, or about your own Precious Girls Club!
• Pick berries or apples or visit a farmer’s market
• Plant flowers or an indoor seed garden. Or force bulbs in the winter.
• Go on a picnic together. Or just go out to lunch!
• Get the binoculars and a magnifying glass and start a nature journal with observations from your own backyard
• Take a walk together and identify plants or birds.

Listen in as author Lee Strobel shares about his recently released DVD, The Case for Faith, from LIONSGATE®.
Based on the Gold Medallion-winning book of the same name The Case for Faith is a life-changing DVD that will alter the way people look at the world.
In The Case for Faith, Strobel showcases his investigative skills to address the primary objections to Christianity. As a former atheist, Strobel understands the rational resistance to faith. Strobel investigates two of the most emotional objections to Christianity, which have become barriers to faith and are confronted by believers and skeptics alike: Why is Jesus the only way to God? And, how could a loving God exist if there is evil and suffering in the world?

Writer’s write! Don’t just talk about writing, actually write.
To complete an article or assignment you need to write, write, write. God gives the heart and vision for the story. It takes talents and gifts, but it also takes discipline. You write one word at a time just like you play the piano one note at a time. You can do it, if you put your mind to it and overlook other distractions.
Practical Ideas to Motivate the next Pulitzer Prize Winner:
1. Treat writing as importantly as you do reading. For my children, I gave them a new spiral notebook and a cool pen, both in their favorite color. I act as though their notebook and their writing are very special and important.
2. Give your children big challenges in the writing area, perhaps you are asking too little of your child.

Knowing and Understanding Christ’s Sufficiency by Filoiann Wiedenhoff
“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” – 2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV
As a Christian do you feel inadequate? Do you struggle to view yourself as God views you? You are not alone. Unless you are Superman, I can assume everyone at one time or another feels inadequate in something. It has to be true because we are all gifted and talented in different areas but not everyone is perfect in all areas, except God. Read the rest of this entry »
