Reviews and Randomness by Heather D.

 How often we forget the simple things in life. We get so caught up in the craziness of the day and our lives that we forget to look at the simple things in life. The simple things in life show us that God is all around us and with us always.  Whether people want to believe that or not, I can't speak for others, but only for myself and things that happen in my family. Just last week, I was driving, I had my 15 year old and my 5 year old daughters with me. We were on our way to a doctor's appointment. I drive a minivan, a pickup truck decided to jet right past his stop sign and go right in front of me full force. Now I have been in accidents before, and the majority of the time there is always that screech of tires right before the actual crash, that screech was there, and everything seemed to go into slow motion, the crash didn't happen. We were so incredibly lucky. At the speed the truck was going, and myself, we would have hit his gas tank for sure. As the near miss h

Emilia Hartley is a new author that writes really great shifter type supernatural books. Her style of writing grabs you right from the beginning in her quick easy to read books. I would say they are geared more towards young adults. I have been reading her series and I have fallen in love with them. The first series Fated Dragons is about a family of  Welsh dragons that show the true meaning of family. Their bond is incredible. Each book in the series takes you through the different family members and how they find their mates. Not only finding their mates, but each book contains struggles and how they get through them. My jaw was dropping with a lot of the scenes. Considering she is taking us through finding their mates, there are some passionate love making scenes in the books. It goes much deeper than that though. The dragon family is fighting to coexist with the humans, but they face great challenges with the GOE Guardians of Existence.  There are twists and turns in every b

If you are anything like me you are constantly looking for a way to bring in some extra money. Tired of scams? It can be downright frustrating when you are looking to bring in some extra cash from doing things in your spare time. I have found a few survey sites that are not scams. I am sure that you have heard that before also, but there is a catch! Of course there is always a catch, right seems that way; however, the catch really isn't too bad, it's actually quite simple. The ways to earn money on survey sites isn't the actual survey's, though you absolutely can, it's not going to happen all that fast. The best way to make money on the survey sites is when you refer other people to the sites. Most sites give you a few bucks to get your account started, and of course the more active you are on the site, the more money you will make.......referring brings in a ton more. Now are you going to get rich on these, probably not, but it doesn't hurt to bring in some

Seriously, this metal chick loves this CD haha, I never thought I would like Christian music. Don't get me wrong, I am a true firm believer, but never really listen to the music. As I am getting older, every so often when driving I find myself flipping through the radio and occasionally landing on a Christian station. It's definitely a nice change from listening to my kids pop music. I do like a variety of music, but metal will forever be in my heart. Now is the time to start letting another kind, of positive uplifting type of music in my life. As I am getting older my variety of music is changing. And to be honest with all the negativity going on in the world today, listening to Christian music is very soothing lately. Unfortunately the CD player in my car doesn't work, but fortunately my computer does have a CD/DVD player and I can now listen to this awesome CD by Matt Redman called Glory Song . Beautiful artwork on the cover. There are 13 beautiful songs on this CD,

The story of the Biblical Exodus is thought by many to be a myth, or a fairy tale. Award winning  Patterns of Evidence is a 12 year in the making documentary of  Filmmaker Tim Mahoney's mission to determine the truth behind the biblical story of Exodus. Tim's journey involves a interviews with many different archaeologists to determine the truth of the time frame of when Exodus occurred or if it indeed ever happened. This documentary is very interesting and has definitely given me a firmer belief in the events that have taken place in the Bible. Many consider the stories to be a myth, yet Tim's mission has confirmed through science that it is not a myth but all very true, or is it? The film is done in a very unbiased way, using the Bible more as a history book than a religious one. It does not go into religious detail but is done in a fashion of trying to give truth to the events in a history book. There are many differences of opinions in the interviews. The interviews

I wanted to share a few things, after all this is my Reviews and Randomness! First off I have discovered a few really different kinds of places to shop. One I am Melaleuca customer and I have been for almost 5 years now! Really I absolutely love shopping there for a few different reasons, way too much to explain why in a blog post. However, the one thing I will say I love the most about them is there membership program and being able to shop directly from the manufacturer and have fresh products delivered straight to my door. It's an excellent store, and they keep getting better and better. But again I mention FRESH, unlike the crap that sits on a shelf at a store that seems to be causing a lot of sickness that I really don't want to be bothered with. I like being able to shop for products that are safe for the environment and safe for my home!  Ha and it's great to be able to have my kids help me with cleaning without having to worry about needing a breathing mask lol

Oh where do I begin about this book? When We Last Spoke written by Marci Henna, starts off with two sisters, Juliet and Evangeline Cranbourne, that need to order a head stone for their beloved grandparents. The sisters have become estranged over the years by misunderstandings that happened during their childhood. This is where their story begins.  Through out the book we go through the journey of the lives of Juliet and Evangeline, two orphaned sisters. The story is beautifully written, I laughed and cried and felt the love radiating from the their story. I really couldn't put it down, it was a quick read that made a big impact. This story brings us through the sisters childhood when they were left on their very loving grandparents ranch. This story shows so much love, trials and tribulations of growing

The Beginners Bible by Zondervan is an excellent book to introduce children to the stories in the Bible. It starts off with the Old Testament bringing you through the rest of the Bible. The stories are easy to read using modern language the kids will understand. This book is something that the little ones will treasure and enjoy reading because it is easy to read and gives visuals with great illustrations. The stories in this book are fun for the kids to read, as well as an adult reading to the kids. The most popular Bible stories are in this book including how Christianity started. It shows kids that even the worst of people can change and that Jesus loves all. It shows how Jesus Christ has become the Lord after his death by God giving Him Heaven and Earth. This book will grab your child's attention as it has done with mine. I have four children and each one of them enjoy reading this for their own reasons. There are over 500 pages to this book along with an Table of Conten
