Whispers of Hope, Beth Moore
Scripture tells us to pray without ceasing, but how in the world do we do that? In fact, how should we effectively pray to begin with?

Best-selling author Beth Moore addresses these practical and pervasive matters in Whispers of Hope by walking readers through an easy to remember and apply method of prayer, coupled with seventy daily devotionals and followed by prompts to put this prayer method into practice.

Time is Ticking, the Tension is High, and the Ultimate Showdown Between Good and Evil is About to Explode

The Lone Ranger arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, Digital HD and On-Demand Today! Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer star in the film.  It’s a wild ride of high velocity action, explosions and gunfights that brings the famed masked legend to life through brand-new eyes.

This holiday season has been like none other for us; hosting family for both Thanksgiving and Christmas is a first in our home.  The last time we saw my family was over a year ago when we traveled up to Canada for my brother’s wedding.  It is such a treat to see our loved ones face to face, instead of having to print photos from Facebook.

I’m so excited that in just three days my sister and her family will be here for Christmas!  I have of course spoiled my nephews completely rotten with tons of gifts.  My husband, daughter and I exchange small gifts with each other, and I’ve always exchanged gifts with my sister even when we have to ship them 1300 miles to get to each other.  Not wanting to leave my brother-in-law a sad panda, I wanted to get him something to open as well, but needed some Christmas present ideas.

Product, gift card or service may have been received as a thank you for posting this information.

I don’t know about you, but as a mom getting something for myself is always the last thing on the list.  And often I don’t get to the bottom of the list before that once a year Christmas Party, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or even New Year’s Eve.

Which in my case means that I’m wearing the same old thing I wore last year.

You too can celebrate the holidays Minion Style with the #1 comedy of the year!

And if you’re wondering why you need this since you already saw it in the theaters last summer, it’s because you get THREE ALL-NEW MINION MINI MOVIES not seen in theaters when you buy the Blu-Ray™.

SPONSORED POSTI’m not a materialistic person.  You can ask just about anyone in my family and I’m generally happy with most any gift I’m given.  I’m not high maintenance, I’m not picky and I can find a use for pretty much anything I’m given.  But come on people, if you’re going to buy me clothing…buy my size!

Recap for those of you just starting to read my blog or have never met me in person.  I’m tiny.  Really tiny.  Like t.i.n.y. tiny.  I’m 4’9″ and I weigh about 100 lbs.  See: tiny.
