You Changed My Life by Max Lucado

-
I received the gift book "You Changed My Life" by Max Lucado from BookSneeze. The subtitle of the book sums up what the book is about: "Stories of Real People with Remarkable Hearts." How true is it that the heroes that really make up this world are ordinary people?! We don't need superpowers or super-cool gadgets to make a difference in the world. This book has proof of that within its pages.

The thought-provoking and heart-warming stories in this gift book are laid out in a beautifully simple way. The pictures and verses or quotes with each story provide more than aesthetic purposes, revealing the poignant properties of the tale. Lucado shows (as before in Cast of Characters) that it doesn't take a Superman (or Wonder Woman) to change the world (or history). All it takes is an open heart of one who takes compassion on or cares for other humans. The author also points out the beauty in God's creation of the human nature; something often amiss in our every day lives. If you have someone who has changed your life, please consider gifting this book to them.

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp...

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read...
