Can't you just see it...

Can't you just see it...Lindsay and Cale back again on the rooftop of the K-dome dancing and singing to each other! I can, that's for sure! Just picture their faces as you watch the video of Zanessa :)

Books for YOU...

This is a comment from a mom that I wanted to answer. I am no reading maniac but here are some of my favs. Some are serious, some fiction & fun...hope it helps!

"I wonder if you would consider an addition to your blog that is related to these articles. I would love to see you add an "Ashley's Favorites for Teens Reading List". My daughter and I have an extreme challenge finding wonderful reading material for her. She is 14 and reads at a college level. It seems impossible to find appropriate material, subject matter, etc. She frequently defaults to a younger reading level because she doesn't care to read about the topics that popular culture currently deems appropriate for her age. Hope you can help!(for boys too...mine is 16.) We both love your blog! Thanks for all you do for our kids!!!!"

All Time Favorite Christian Fiction Books:
(2 Covers for Redeeming Love...same book! Incredible. I read this during Finals Week my junior year of college. Needless to say, I did not do so hot that semester on finals...oops!)These are a 3 book series by the same author, Francine Rivers. Trish Helsel introduced me to this series and it is the most challenging book I have ever read outside of the Word. It's about gladiators, love, grace, Roman Empire, etc. It's awesome!This is a 14 book series about the Baxter Family. It is set in Bloomington, IN and when I went to Bloomington on Kanakuk Movie Trail...I wanted to go meet the Baxters. I had to quickly remind myself THEY ARE NOT REAL PEOPLE! The office girls at K2 got hooked on all these books this summer. Books that I Own b/c I know the Message is Good but have Not Read Yet:

Books for PARENTS:
A Book I came across that I want to read:Hope this helps...what if we had a K2 KOMO Book Club?! hehe...jk!
