"Whispers of the Bayou" by Mindy Starns Clark

I just finished reading "Whispers of the Bayou" for my book club. I liked this book because it is a mystery! Family secrets, murder, & suspense, this book has it all. My favorite quote from the book is on page 334 when Miranda says "I couldn't believe that this life--this fulfilled peaceful, forgiven life--had been available to me all along, and all I had to do to receive it was to ask."

I have a prayer request to ask of anyone who reads my blog. Please pray for my best friend Theresa who found out yesterday that she has traces of lymphoma from her biopsy. There are pictures of us in my Hockey blogs. I have been friends with her since High School. My heart goes out to her, this is the second time having cancer. So please say a prayer for her.

"A Voice in the Wind"

I read "A Voice in the Wind" by Francine Rivers for my book club. This is the first book in the Mark of the Lion book series. I had a hard time getting into it because the violence in the beginning. But I am glad I finished it and went on the read the next two books in the series, "Echo in the Darkness" & "As Sure as the Dawn". Reading this book has made me really appreciated the freedom we have to be Christians in todays world.

I have to say one good thing coming out of me being laid off, is now I spend a lot more time reading my bible. I am finding joy in reading the bible before it was always a struggle. God has blessed me and opened my eyes!
