A Year with God
Make His Thoughts Your Thoughts
Daily Readings and Reflections on God's Own Words

Open this book and you will find God speaking to you through His words in the Bible, written out in a daily format and divided into sections such as "Hope and Fear" and "Love and Hate" just to name a few. Through this book, R.P. Nettelhorst brings God's words into today's daily living. He asks and answers questions from a Biblical perspective using insight into Biblical times, and causes you to think in a new light about what God is saying to us.

This is a beautifully presented book in a daily reading format. Each page begins with a thought for the day and is followed with a good sized portion of Scripture, followed by thoughts on the Scripture. To my surprise and delight, Scripture takes up one-third to one-half of each page!

I personally found this book to be a timely reading source. Words jumped off the pages and into my heart, all of them applicable to what I was going through at the time of the reading. Because of some of the reflections in this book, I was personally motivated to further study the Scripture.

A Year with God is an attractive, easily read, thought provoking book which would make a very nice addition to anyone's daily reading, as well as a wonderful gift for someone you love. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a closer walk with God, which always begins with a deeper understanding of His words to us. Personally, I am looking forward to reading this book for many years to come.

Artesian Wells, Creeks and Downtown Prattville, Alabama

When you put these two photos together, what do you think you get? You got it, a rope swing waiting for some daring young (or old) soul to swing out over the creek and create a big splash! This is Autauga Creek, which cuts through the heart of downtown Prattville. In fact this very section of the creek, along with it's rope swing, is about a minute from downtown, and is located beside one of Prattville's many artesian wells, which is actually what I had gone to see. I had heard about the wells, where people take their water bottles (I'm talking the BIG kind) and fill them up on a regular basis. But I had never actually been there. And to think it is absolutely FREE?!? I had to see for myself... Sure enough, when I pulled into the lot at the Doster Road Artesian Well House I was not alone. A car was ahead of me and the man was filling his large, blue water bottle, the kind you normally see dispensing water at your office. While I was waiting I tr

$25.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway -- Change can be a good thing!

Here's a departure from my usual post. Have you thought about changing up your home decor? Let's take the dining room, for instance. What is your preference? Is it modern dining room furniture ? Do you like the country style? How about minimalist? Or are you like me and is it traditional? Actually, I would say I am a throw back to the lines of the 1950s and 1960s. I love the burnished nickel or brass, the clean lines, etc., you find on furniture common to that era. My dining room, however, has a touch of everything. I inherited my grandparents' dining table and chairs, which is absolutely beautiful. I also inherited their corner china cabinet which was made by my dad for my grandparents' 25th wedding anniversary . I also have a framed mirror in shades of silver. Everything looks good and goes well with my hardwood floors. Maybe I should just update the curtains or the linens. I think I'll head over to CSN Stores (which has over 200 online stores and

The Wilderness Park, Prattville, Alabama: Taking a Break in the Park

Yesterday morning I decided to grab my camera, ditch the outdoor chores, and head to the Wilderness Park here in Prattville, Alabama. I'm so glad I did! Although I wore flip flops, which was a poor choice for a roughly 1/2 mile hike, it was not that bad because I was constantly pausing to take pictures. It was nice to get away from the routine for a while. As I was pulling into the parking lot, an older gentleman and his dog were getting in their car to leave. As I wandered the path, I came upon a young couple relaxing on one of the many park benches, kicked back and chatting. And as you'll see in one of the later pictures, young lovers have left their mark, too. As you follow the path, the patch slopes down, leading you deeper into the park. Shortly you come to a "Y", and if you take a right, you will go over the dam. Above is a photo of the path going over the dam, with bamboo draping across, forming a canopy. Looking off to the right side of t
