We like reading!

I have caught my family reading together a lot lately. I just noticed that the only pictures that I have taken in the past week were those of everybody reading. Spontaneous reading sure does make this mom happy, and I kept wanting to catch it on camera. Now if I could just get a hold of a good novel. I finally got 2 books that I requested from the Inter Library Loan system, How to Hug Porcupine, and How to Behave so Your Children Will Too! I need to hurry and finish them before they are due so that I can get back to Reviving Ophelia and A New Earth that I just started before those two came in. If you count the book I was reading before those, Galileo's Daughter, that makes 5 non-fiction books in a row. No wonder I spend so much time reading strangers' blogs, I need something with a good story line.

Like Strawberry Shortcake on the Beach, or Mr.Brown can Moo, Can You?

Or Strawberry Shortcake's World of Friends

Or Fingers Fingers Thumbs Thumbs, or Rikki Tikki Tembo.

Favorite Quotes

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

-Marianne Williamson

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery

We need always to ask what we are doing to our spirit. Is the divine within us being nurtured, or do our actions prevent the Spirit from becoming the predominant force in our lives?
-Kathleen H. Hughes

Verse of the Day

Feb 17, 2011 Moses 6:32 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Go forth and do as I have commanded thee, and no man shall pierce thee. Open thy mouth, and it shall be filled, and I will give thee utterance, for all flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good. 33 Say unto this people: Choose ye this day, to serve the Lord God who made you. 34 Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me. My thoughts: If God could give Enoch power to teach the people He also gives me power to teach my children, I need to remember to rely on that. May 25,2010 Matthew 14 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? March 1, 2010 Helaman 3:21 ...And they began to grow up unto the Lord.
