What craziness will Farmer Chris face tonight? Will Ashley S. survive another week? This week may be more interesting than last week with the Jimmy Kimmel in middle of the dates. The previews have the women calling Chris on all of his kissing. You go girls! The show opens with Jimmy Kimmel waking Chris up one morning. He's not quite sure what to think being woken up in this manner. While he shakes himself from a deep sleep, Jimmy wanders over to the mansion to greet the "sister wives." Jimmy claims he's going to take each woman to the fantasy suite to try them out for Chris. Jimmy institutes the "Amazing Jar." Every time a woman says "amazing," they have to put a dollar in the jar. He has a point. The word is overused. Jimmy and Chris Harrison leave the ladies to read the first date card. "Dear Kaitlyn -- You and Chris are about to join an exclusive club. Sweeping views, vaulted ceilings..." When they head out on the date...

Sanctuary By John W. Thompson; © Kruger Organisation Used by permission. CCLI # 1132191 (girls echo) Oh Lord prepare me, to be a sanctuary Pure and holy, tried and true. With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living Sanctuary for You. It was you Lord, who sent the Savior Heart and soul Lord, to every man. It is you Lord, who knows my weakness, You refine me with Your own hand. Lead me on Lord, through my temptations You refine me from within Fill our hearts with the Holy Spirit, And take all our sins away. Lord teach Your children, t o stop the fighting, And start uniting, all as one. Let’s get together, loving forever Sanctuary, for You. And when He comes with shouts of glory And our work on earth is done O, how I long to hear Him saying, “Faithful servant well done.”

This weekend, I'm off with the Westhill Church of Christ youth group at the annual youth retreat.

A weekend out of town sounds glorious, doesn't it? With 20 something junior high and high school kids... Ok, so maybe not so glamorous. Just hope that it doesn't take next weekend to recover from this one! I'm headed out to be a responsible adult the church youth retreat! Catch up with you soon.

People never are exactly sure what it is that I do for a living. They know that I have a home office, but I don't think people realize that I do get dressed, go up to the office and actually work 8 hours a day. And for that 8 hours, what do I do? If you've ever wondered, take a look at this guest post I wrote over at Life is Story .  You can also find out more about my job and Litfuse by clicking here!

Thank goodness it is cold here and there and everywhere! I am still keeping busy. If you see anything you like, let me know. I will make to order and ship! Roses are my new thing!

Author's adventures add special authenticity to her writing "NLB Horton blends faith, espionage, romance, and suspense in a deftly crafted novel that grips and holds the reader's total attention from beginning to end." ~ Midwest Book Review   NLB Horton, author of The Brothers' Keepers , has found herself in situations that would make great material for any writer's next novel. She has surveyed Israeli and Jordanian archaeological digs, tossed a tarantula from her skiff into the Amazon after training with an Incan shaman, driven uneventfully through Rome and consumed gallons of afternoon tea while traveling across five continents. The inspiration for Horton's protagonist, Grace Madison (a mother who would do anything to protect her family) was born from an experience the author had while on an archaeological dig she embarked upon as a part of her master's degree program with Dallas Theological Seminary in 2007.
