Welcome back!

bookshelf

Yesterday I posted asking for your book recommendations for my reading pleasure, so today I thought I’d recommend some to you, from my shelf that I have read and love.  Many of these I have read more than one time, so you know they are really good.

A Woman After God’s Own Heart

If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat

The Dream Giver

Cure for the Common Life: Living in Your Sweet Spot

Visioneering: God’s Blueprint for Developing and Maintaining Vision

Speak Up with Confidence: A Step-by-Step Guide for Speakers and Leaders

Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind

You can see from this list the kinds of books I like to read.  These have all been on my shelf for quite some time and most of them I have read more than one time, some of brought me through difficult times or decisions, others have helped me to grow closer to God. The good thing about all of these is that they are all written by Christians who write from a Biblical perspective. I believe all of them quote Scripture and I read them with my Bible in my other hand.  This is my favorite type of read.  What about you?  What are some of your favorites?

This is the second in a series of posts on books I’ve read or want to read. See the first post here and make your recommendations.

Faith Inspired Update

My kids and I have been battling a stomach bug for several days now, therefore I am not going to be having a Live show of Faith Inspires tonight, but I am ready for next week with an awesome topic, “What Does It Mean to Be a Christian?” We’ll be talking salvation, convictions, and beliefs, next Thursday, 9 pm CST / 10 pm EST on Mom TV Live.

I hope that you’ll join us.

Recap Faith Inspires Week 2

This was my second week of Faith Inspires TV, hosted at MomTV.com.  We are live at 9 pm CST / 10 pm EST on Thursday’s. I honestly cannot believe I’m doing this.  I was a nervous wreck last week and then when Greg got called out at 8 pm to go look for an escapee my nerves were truly shot.  Last week’s show was truly difficult with the kids not yet in bed due to our interrupted schedule.  I thought this week HAD to be better for the show, however MOMTV was having technical issues so I started really late, then I forgot to hit record.  But since I was already there I recorded a super short segment just to have something there.  I hope either way it will be a blessing to you and anyone who sees it.

This journey I”m on is one of faith, in the big things and in the small things.  Won’t you share your story of faith with me?

Faith Inspires Airs this Week

I have to admit, I”m a little nervous, and that isn’t normal for me.  I don’t usually get nervous about speaking.  I get nervous about driving, about going new places, that sort of thing, but speaking, not so much.  However, I think the nerves center around getting this internet TV show thing just right.  The new webcam, the Stickam account, all that jazz.  But, I hope once that is settled and I”m gabbing away at ya’ll I’ll be just fine.

So, come join me and share with me this thing called “Faith”.  Do you have it?  Do you need it?  I’ll share with you this first week  how FAITH is my WHY!  It is sure to be interesting.  Now, for future week’s what about faith would you like to hear about?

Faith Inspires Live TV show will air tomorrow, June 25th, 2009 at 9 pm CST / 10 pm EST on MomTV.
