Book, Book, Book...Bible!

Momala's Book Club Pick: "Cozy in Kansas," is a three-book collection by Nancy Mehl, a Wichita author. The 2008 trilogy, all set in fictional Winter Break, KS, are romance mystery stories with a mildly Christian bent. Mehl was nominated for the 2009 American Christian Fiction Writers Book of the Year Award in mystery for "For Whom the Wedding Bell Tolls." These stories, published by Barbour, have Ivy Towers as the main character. Ivy is a WSU student who interrupts her Christmas break to travel to Winter Break and attend to her great aunt's estate. There are lots of fun, eccentric townsfolk in this small village and it seems that most of them have secrets to keep (and secrets for Ivy to solve). I would give this collection three and a half out of five stars. It's available on Amazon.com. To learn more about the author, go to: www.nancymehl.com.

Mark your calendars! Missionary Baptist Church will be hosting their annual May Fellowship meeting on Thursday and Friday, May 6-7, 2010. This gathering attracts pastors and flock alike to hear great preaching and soul-stirring gospel music and sample delicious food. Guests are expected from Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado, among other states. Services start at 7 p.m. Thursday night, and continue from 9 a.m. through the evening service on Friday. The noon meal on Friday alone is worth your price of admission (if we charged admission). There will be piles of succulent roast beef and ham, mashed potatoes and gravy and homemade hot rolls! Make sure to set aside time to be fed from God's Word and our great cooks.

Female in Motion Exercise Update: I did three disco aerobic workouts last week and two sets of hand-weight calisthenics. During my well-woman annual exam this afternoon, the doctor was impressed with my workout routine and advised me to keep it up.

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
