Thought Filled Thursdays

It's been awhile, I know.  I have so much I need to put in this post, so don't runaway!

I'll start off with a funny Caroline story.  I always show her when I change the blog up, and see what she thinks.  So over the weekend, I pulled it up and asked her what she thought.

Me:  Boog, did you see the new blog design?

Caroline:  Yes.

Me:  Well, what do you think?  Do you like this one?

Caroline:  Well yea, but why do you always {lots of drama here}have to put a picture of me up there?

Me:  Because you're mostly what my blog is for.

Caroline:  Oh...well can't you just once put Tab up there?

I just started laughing!  She cracks me up.  So then I asked her if she didn't like her picture being on my blog and she said that she likes it, but I should just change them out sometimes!  I thought, oh boy...we're getting into the embarrassed age, and I'll have to take her picture off, but no, she said I should just put me & Tab on it too because it's about all of us!

Something to look for...Remember that Pay it Forward post?  It was almost a year ago...well if you commented on it, be checking your mailbox for a little treat!  And Elyse, if your reading this, email me so I can get your address, I seem to have lost it!

I have really wanted a new bible for some time now, and just haven't gotten around to going to look.  Well, last week while Caroline was at gymnastics, I ran to the pet store to grab a few things.  Our Family Christian Bookstore happens to be around the corner from the pet store, and I just had this urge to go in there.  I walked in, and knew right where I was headed.  I stood looking at the wall of new bibles and was thrown for a spin.  There were so many to choose from!  I knoew I wanted more than just a standard bible, but I didn't know what I was looking for.  I was immediately drawn to the title of one:  True Identity.  Hmmmm?  Now some might say I was drawn to the super cute girly cover, but that's just not true { it was just an added bonus!}.

True Identity: The Bible for Women

Discover your true identity in Christ through his Word! The Bible that helps you see yourself as God sees you. No matter what your stage in life, you’re probably facing a challenge or a change. Whatever you're facing, you probably share your struggles with a friend. Now imagine your friend has incredible wisdom and is available anytime of the day or night! That’s what this Bible is about: becoming who you are in Christ through your relationship with him.

Features:

• 100 “Myth” articles—States a commonly accepted myth that the world tells you is true, then refutes the myth with the truth of God’s Word
• 30 “Ask Me Anything” notes—Profiles a woman from the Bible in an interview format where the biblical woman speaks to the modern readers about the life issue she faced
• 200 “Conversations” notes—Penetrating questions to reflect on, either alone or with a friend or mentor
• 200 “He Is” callouts—Highlights an attribute of God as shown or taught in Scripture and teaches how that affects a woman’s identity
• 300 “At Issues” notes—Short teaching notes on life topics such as money, sex, or pride.
• 66 book introductions
• Topical index
• Back matter articles on topics such as mentoring, developing a consistent quiet time, Bible reading plans, memorizing Scripture, etc.

I really love this Bible.  Please take a quick peak at it, you won't regret it!

And right now, Caroline and I are loving this!  Yummy!  We mix a little Italian dressing, pecans, and crispy onions, then put it into a whole wheat tortilla with lettuce and some Parmesan cheese...Y.U.M.M.Y!!!!

I have a wall of Crosses at home, and just can't stop adding to it!  Here's a few I've transformed recently!

 

And here is a new piece I made just because!

Hope you all have a GREAT day!
