Heartbroken over Vegas

Guys,


It literally seems like yesterday that I was writing a post about being heartbroken over the horrific events that occurred at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, and yet here we are once again facing the consequences of another horrific, pointless act of extreme violence that has cost so many their lives, and so many others physical and emotional suffering that will never go away.


I had a book tag post planned for today, but I didn't feel right posting it in light of the events that occurred in Las Vegas last night. Once again, innocent civilians out for an evening of enjoyment were the target of a senseless tragedy, and I feel completely broken watching the ways our world is crumbling around us, faster and faster each day.


In the midst of everything going on, I simply wanted to take the time to post and say that everyone affected by these events is in my prayers, and I wanted to share one of my favorite Bible verses that seemed fitting, and has definitely helped pull me through work today.


"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5



While my heart breaks for everyone affected by these horrific events, my heart will also stay strong as I continue to pray against the evil trying to shape our world.



Be an angel in disguise right now guys. The world needs love more now than it's ever needed it before.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
