Day 21 of 40

I got another Bible in the mail yesterday. Hannah wanted to know how many I needed. I think a few more will be needed before I'm done. This year alone I got two new Bibles and it's only March. I bought them with specific things in mind. One is a journaling bible, it has wide lined margins. I use it for Bible study, but honestly, I bought it to give to my daughter, once I've studied through the majority of it at least once. 
And the other one is a One Year Bible. I tend to read the One Year Bible plan on my electronic device everyday. But there has been a desire in me to start my day with less electric glow. And I know that I have some days coming this year when I won't have access to Internet when I wake up. The thing that surprised me was how excited Joel was to see it in the house. I guess he's been feeling the same way about wanting more Jesus but not wanting to use a multipurpose device to get to him. Personally, I get easily distracted when I use my IPad to read scripture. Things ding, I go to research something, stop by Facebook and Twitter before heading back, might as well see what's happened on Instagram, oh and there's Pinterest, too. Now what was I doing? Oh yeah, hey, Jesus! 
We'll see how a single purpose book plays out over the electronic glow.

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and fighting to

Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos

  If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person. The book uses the concept of the fruit of the spirit to go through different ways to handle conflict. Khang and Mikalatos take turns writing the meat of each section but there's a quite enj

The changing of times

 I think when I started this blog, wayback when it was called HoHa for Hands on Home Arts, it was always going to be a capturing of a moment.  I’m still a homemaker by trade but it’s time to put on a new hat and try new things. Within that, I probably won’t be posting around here as much. Instead, I’ll be doing book reviews on Substack ( https://cdpunt.substack.com/ ) and I’ll be sharing a variety of other things here and there on the internet. To find all the bits and pieces head over to https://www.cdpunt.com   I’ve got this philosophy floating around that I’m trying to mail down, I need to write for myself even when I’m sharing it with you. I need to like my writing, not just the words but the content. I’ll still be sending out my monthly newsletter, so keep an eye out for those if you’ve signed up. I’m sure that we’ll see each other around and until then, I hope you enjoy!
