LOVE IS KIND by Laura Sassi- Book Review & Giveaway
In LOVE IS KIND, by Laura Sassi, there’s a precious little owl in pursuit of the perfect gift for Grammy’s birthday—a heart-shaped box of chocolates.

French artist, Lison Chaperon, gives attention to every detail in the adorable illustrations. I love how she weaves verses from the “love chapter,” 1 Corinthians 13, into her illustrations of a stream, over a hearth, in the petals of a sunflower, and other special places.

I want him to know about the “let’s roll” attitude of Todd Beamer and that of so many other people on 9/11 and the days following. Let’s remember to tell the next generation those stories. The History Channel produced a documentary, The Days That Shaped America: September 11th presenting personal accounts of that horrific day. We hear from an employee at the World Trade Center, a staff member of the Pentagon, and the 911 operator who took the call from Todd Beamer and who heard his rally…

Excellent Christian Entertainment – NarroWay Theater
by Sally Matheny Are you looking for something different, highly entertaining, and yet wholesome in nature where you can enjoy a night out with your family or friends? Not long ago, I discovered such a place. I wanted to surprise my sweet hubby by taking him somewhere we’ve never been before. Researching online, I stumbled across NarroWay Theatre, located in Fort Mill, S.C., just outside of Charlotte, N.C. Not Just Another Love Story The nonprofit theater presents original, Broadway-style shows. At that time, what caught my eye was the WWII-theme production they were putting on called Not Just Another Love Story. I love the history of the WWII era and…
