The Girl's Still Got It by Liz Curtis Higgs

By Liz Curtis Higgs

Published by WaterBrook Multnomah Released July 2012

Ladies, if you have never heard of Liz Curtis Higgs, you really need to check her out! THIS girl's got it. In her new book The Girl's Still Got It, Liz explores the story of Ruth. A story completely about women (well, the men do play minor parts, although they are sort of wimpy, all except for the HERO of the story, wait 'til you get a load of HIM!). In her characteristic style, Liz tells the story of Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi. She explores verse by verse, phrase by phrase, and it is not dull or boring at all! Liz definitely has the gift to transport you back in time, to be able to stand in the shadows and see this story unfold under God's guiding hand. You will fall in love with the characters. You might cry, and you will most definitely laugh. After all, the narrator IS Liz!

Take a moment to visit the Liz Curtis Higgs website. You can get a jump start by watching the video, and don't forget the Righteous Ruth Rap, Liz's own take on rap music. Plus you can join in on the online Bible study that's available. Whatever you do, reading and studying the story of Ruth with Liz will allow you to see Ruth and Naomi from a whole new angle, to be sure. And I guarantee you will learn something new, and hopefully new things to apply to your life. I know I have!

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
