Women Redeemed 2.0

 

In coordination with the launch of their fall releases, Kregel will be hosting a live webcast event on October 10th at 8 PM EDT featuring authors Kim Ketola (Cradle My Heart), Teske Drake (Hope for Today, Promises for Tomorrow), and Dawn Scott Jones (When a Woman You Love Was Abused). The webcast will allow women to come together to share their struggles and fears in order to move toward healing and hope. Women will able to support one another and discuss shared experiences in a non-threatening, open and loving environment.

Cat Hoort of Kregel says, "We are seeking to provide safe means for Christian women to be vulnerable with each other, to seek help and guidance from authors and counselors, and to find encouragement from those who have shared similar experiences. Our hope is that the Women Redeemed webcast will become a forum for hurting women as well as for those who can help. Kim, Teske, and Dawn are all survivors and their stories will surely inspire and equip other women to move toward healing and hope."

The authors will also be giving away books and other fun prizes at the Webcast.

Call of a Coward by Marcia Moston

Call of a Coward
The God of Moses and the Middle-Class Housewife
by Marcia Moston 

Call of a Coward is about a husband feeling the call of the Lord for his family to go and serve as missionaries in Guatemala and the struggle with the decision and the events that unfolded.

This is a wonderful book.  It is a moving memoir.  I was hoping it would make me wonder what I would do should my husband be lead somewhere I didn't think I would want to go and it did just that.  I really enjoy how Mrs. Moston takes us through the journey of her feelings and the process of this major decision.  I enjoyed that it wasn't just a "Disney" type ending or situation once the choice was made.

I would recommend this book for any Christian, it would be a great one to pick up to take on a vacation or over a holiday break because it is not too long and is very enjoyable yet challenging. 

I was provided a free copy of this book for the purposes of review, the opinions expressed are my own.

Bountiful Baskets August 25th with tortilla and fajita add-ons

This was a great week to get a basket!  The main basket included cherries, champagne grapes, Brussels sprouts, romaine lettuce, long green peppers (not sure if they are sweet or hot, I haven't tried one yet), onions, apple pears, grapefruit, mottled pluots, tomatoes, and cauliflower.

Fajita add-on lots of red and green bell peppers, dried peppers, onions, and garlic.

We finally are getting to try the tortillas!  They tend to sell out, I am wanting to try them because the ingredients although not organic are much cleaner than the grocery store.  The package is a nice assortment including 3 dozen packages of huge 12" flour tortillas, 2 dozen 6" flour tortillas, and 2 dozen 6" corn tortillas.  They look really good and I plan to include them in our supper tomorrow to see what they taste like :)

Cucumbers and lots of ladybugs

The first cucumbers of the season today :)  I think they are the marketmores from Azure, the one we ate was yummy.  We also picked strawberries, blueberries, yellow squash, zucchini we are growing for a friend, and basil.  The tomatillios are just going crazy still, just amazing how covered they are.

The asparagus has had asparagus beetles and we have done some picking of them off, but there have been bunches and bunches anyway.  Well today the asparagus is also full, even more so, of ladybugs.  The natural way seems to be working out well.  There were lots of ladybug larvae and mature bugs.  I moved probably a dozen or more larvae to other areas of the garden.  I am hoping with the squash bug picked and egg squashing and now the ladybugs we will win the battle with them this year.  I found some eggs on the crookneck leaves and did some squashing ;)

Bountiful Baskets July 21~ Plummy Paradise~ Sourdough

Another great week for Bountiful Baskets.  This week we received corn, cantaloupe, broccoli, greenhouse cucumbers, yellow squash, green grapes, carrots, plums, strawberries, raspberries, and a living lettuce head.

The Plummy Paradise includes many varieties of plums that may include Black Owen, Red Crimson, Honey Suckle Rose, Green Flavor Queen, Crimson Glo Red Pluot, Dapple Dandy, Black Cherry, Black Ruby, Fortune Red, Red Hiromi, and Black Velvet Apricots.  The Black Velvet Apricots are something we just discovered at Costco and are very yummy, they are a little fuzzy like a peach.

We also got a pack of the sourdough we enjoy so much :)
