A New Book To Give Away

Here's a new book for you to read: The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived by Steven K. Scott.

In The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived, Scott guides readers in a step-by-step application of the life-changing principles, skills, and methods that Jesus used throughout his earthly life. Although believers may spend a lifetime learning from Jesus’ teachings, it’s easy to overlook the powerful lessons demonstrated in His life. But when these incomparable lessons are learned and put to use, they enable ordinary people to achieve extraordinary success and happiness.

From Jesus’ earthly life readers will learn:
How to break through the barriers that prevent them from achieving extraordinary success at work and relational success at home.
How to experience a level of happiness and fulfillment that nothing the world offers can duplicate.
How to use adversity and opposition as a springboard for greater success.
How to love others in a way that increases their love as well.

No matter what a person’s area of expertise and in what setting a person influences others, living by the principles of Jesus’ life on earth produces extraordinary success, unprecedented achievements, personal fulfillment, and blessings for others.

Spring Break is coming

Hurray! Spring Break is almost here. Now, if you don't work in a school, or don't have children, those two words don't mean much. But, as an elementary school secretary, those words are a little bit of heaven!
After a long, very cold winter, spring is finally coming. The days are longer, the sun is warmer, and the snow has melted. The winter has taken its toll. I am tired. My house desperately needs a good cleaning, and I need a little sun. Next week is Spring Break at my school. Guess what I will be doing (besides going to the dentist - yuck!) :)

Updates

I realized today that I haven't posted a blog in quite a while, and y'all (as my Texan cousins would say) might be wonderin' just what's goin' on.
So-
God has been merciful to us. Thank you, God! Craig's mom is back home and doing very well. She's already driving again, and is thinking of going back to work this coming weekend. The doctors have declared her a cancer survivor. There was no lymph node involvement and they feel the cancer was contained in the tumor they removed.
My dad is back home in his apartment. He is scheduled to have surgery on March 25 to remove the cancerous lump in his outer ear. He is doing well otherwise - with a bit of help from me. I am now going over each week to fill his medicine tray for the week. It's good to see him back in his place, going out each evening to the common room to play rummikub and skipbo with his frineds in the building.
I having been watching job postings to see if something will come up that I should apply for, but otherwise I am just continuing to work at school until I get laid off at the end of June. I have such peace right now about that situation - it amazes me sometimes. But I know where that peace comes from - it's the peace that passes understanding that God promises to those who give their worries to Him. (Phil. 4:6-7) I hope you can experience that peace too!
