Psalm 118:6

Psalm 118:6 Dear Lord, Thank you so much that you are always with me. Thank you for reminding me that I don’t need to be afraid because you’re there, watching over me. Thank you that you are far greater than anything that could happen to me in this world, and I need only trust in you. Amen 詩篇118:6 親愛なる主よ、 あなたがいつも私と共にいてくださることを心から感謝します。あなたがそこにいて、私を見守っていてくださるので、恐れる必要がないことを思い出させてくださりありがとうございます。あなたはこの世で私に起こりうるどんなことよりもはるかに偉大な方であり、私はただあなたを信じるだけでよいことを感謝します。 アーメン

Nook Tablet new 8GB only $199

I got this deal in my email today and thought I'd pass it on in case any of you were looking at an ereader tablet. I just saw a comparison "prize fight" between Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet on cnet.com (embedded below) and both were comparable, although Nook Tablet came out a little ahead.

Review: Harriet

Harriet by Joan Mellows My rating: 5 of 5 stars Joan Mellows is probably one of my favorite traditional Regency authors. Her writing style in this book is similar to Jane Austen's (witty but sometimes long sentences), and the characters are very likable. Harriet is strong-willed but soft-hearted and the hero is tortured and passionate without being cliche. A very entertaining, engaging read. View all my reviews

The Phenomenon of Not Downloading Free Ebooks

Captain's Log, Stardate 02.01.2012 So here’s a weird phenomenon.

I looked at the book blurbs, but they were mostly serial killer type of thrillers, which do tend to get bloody. So I am actually not downloading free ebooks! I can’t believe it! But it also got me to thinking. These days there are so many free ebooks that people can start to pick and choose which free ebooks to download. Isn’t that a strange thing? Before, I’d be snatching up almost any free ebook available because, well, it’s free . Now, I’m like, “Thrillers, eh. I read them but not my favorite genre. I’ll pass.” I probably should have had this mentality for some of the other free ebooks I downloaded in the past, because I wouldn’t have so many ebooks that I probably won’t ever read. Then again, they don’t take up space in my ho

Nightshade by Ronie Kendig Soldiers all across the globe are returning home to their families after brutal tours of duty. They are discharged from the service. . .and on their own. Meet Max Jacobs, one of these discarded heroes, as he faces a wall of failure—in his career, his friendships, and his marriage. Failing again—this time to end his life—he is offered a thread of hope. Are covert government operations the answer for him, or will they only bring more danger and dissension upon his broken family? Excerpt of chapter one: Prologue Crazy lights swirled against the evening sky. Day morphed into the merriment of night. Cotton candy and hot dogs. Teens decked out in Goth gear contrasted sharply with young couples dragged from ride to ride by squealing offspring. White smeared over a man’s face as red encircled his mou
