Latest Page Turners

I haven't done a post about the books I've read in a while. And while I haven't read as many as I should have at this point in the year, here are of few of my latest page turners.

First up is The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. I know I am a little behind on the Kristin Hannah train, but finally, I have arrived!

If you love historical fiction, this a great read. With powerful insight, Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of War World II and highlights an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. This is the story of two sisters, separated by years of experience, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path towards survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France. It celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. An absolute must-read!

Next up, Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney

They don't call Alice Feeney the "Queen of Twists" for nothing. This is a thriller about marriage...and revenge. It is one of those books that leaves you thinking about the characters long after you've finished reading it!

The last book that I am going to recommend will get you into the mood for spooky season.

"They were eleven when they sent a killer to prison. They were heroes..but they were liars."

Kate Alice Marshall's What Lies in the Woods is a thrilling novel about friendships, secrets, betrayal, and lies- and having the courage to face the past.

What Lies in the Woods is a novel about the dangers lurking in the hearts and imaginations of little girls. This is one of the best thrillers I have read in a very long time!

Have you read any of these, or do you have a favorite to add to the list? I'd love to hear your recommendations in the comments. The best part of reading is sharing the journey with others.

Until next time, happy reading!

Much Love,

Beth

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15). As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1. Special Treatment for Certain Families James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
