Saturday/Sunday Standouts

My favorite women’s conference every year is The Kerygma Summit – April 25-27 in Franklin, Tenn. It is lead by Lisa Harper and many other wonderful bible teachers. The conference is a time of substantive Bible teaching, theological training, worship, and encouragement. This conference is for any woman who wants to grow in their faith and discover God’s purpose for your life. This will be my third year to attend.. I would call it a bootcamp for Bible-loving chicks!! http://Kerygmasummit.com

I have watched three excellent movies on amazon prime. DEAR RODEO, a documentary on Country music star Cody Johnson as he journeys from the dusty rodeo arenas of rural Texas to the biggest stages in America. THE COKEVILLE MIRACLE. Children who were held hostage in their elementary school tell stories of miraculous things, but many adults are skeptical that the Cokeville Miracle ever truly happened. A MILLION MILES AWAY. A family friendly movie. It’s a tale of literally astronomical success in the face of daunting adversity, and it’s important as a reflection of hard-won representation.

Experiencing Christ as Life and Leader is an excellent devotion I have been reading daily. These inspiring devotions explore four areas as we follow the One Leader, Jesus Christ – A Foundational Focus, A Personal Focus, A Relational Focus, and A Missional Focus. In this devotion, you will be challenged to be a closer follower of Jesus. I will be ordering this devotion for friends. A must-read. For $7.68 you can purchase this on AMAZON.

We just recently visited the Atlanta Safari Park with our grandchildren and were so impressed! The Park is located at 6210 Highway 326, Commerce, GA 30530 · The Park features 156 acres of free roaming habitat, with animals from all over the world! The Drive-Thru Safari, with two miles of roads, takes approximately one hour to complete. You purchase animal food and the Animals eagerly come right up to the window of your vehicle. This was a lot of fun, and the grandchildren had a blast. When you finish you can explore the free-flight bird aviary, giraffe exhibit, petting zoo, and giftshop. I would highly recommend this activity for all ages.

The Well is an extraordinary place for women to gather to find hope and healing through community and a relationship with Jesus Christ. I attended a craft class and really enjoyed meeting so many women who loved Jesus. They offer a wide variety of gatherings such as Journaling with Jesus for Women Experiencing Divorce, Creative Scripture Journaling, Feast Women of the Word, Weekly Craft Classes, and they offer a one-day retreat called Beauty for Ashes. The Well is open Monday through Thursday from 9:30 am – 2:30pm for coffee, prayer, connection, friendship, devotions and so much more. They are located at: Creekstone Village Shopping Center, 1790 Peachtree Parkway, Suite 201, Cumming, GA. Tonya Cohen is an amazing woman who started this ministry.

Parsons Gifts is my go-to store when I need a gift for someone who has everything!! They have various gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.

Our family did something very special for a birthday. We hired Personal Hibachi Chef to come to our home and prepare a meal for 14 of us. Because of the 90-degree temperatures outside, they cooked inside our home. They bring their own grill; we preordered the food and they put on an amazing show. We ordered chicken, filet and shrimp and the food was outstanding. We even ordered a couple of sushi rolls, and they were delicious. Personal Hibachi Chef made our special event very memorable.

A current book I am reading, Jesus, the Ultimate Ladies’ Man was written by my friend Sarah Holley. Sarah has poured many hours and years into writing this captivating book and it was just released.

This book sheds light on ten powerful stories that reveal Jesus’ deep regard for women. From the sinful woman who anointed Jesus’ feet to the two sisters grieving the death of their brother, each story showcases Jesus’ unwavering commitment to treating women with dignity, compassion, and respect. In a society where women were often marginalized and their voices diminished, Jesus stood as a shining example of honor and love.

Jesus was a revolutionary in every sense of the word—especially in the way He treated women! Whether you are a devoted Christian seeking a deeper understanding of Jesus’ teachings or an individual interested in exploring the timeless wisdom of one of history’s most influential figures, Jesus, the Ultimate Ladies’ Man offers a unique and inspiring perspective. It invites readers to reimagine and appreciate the far-reaching impact of Jesus’ love and respect for women. You can purchase this book on Amazon or at Parsons Gift Store.

A book I am currently reading is Don’t Look Back by Christine Caine. I have heard her teach this message and it is powerful. This is the link to her message: Christine Caine – Remember Lot’s Wife, Don’t Look Back

The book is an extension of this message: This book will equip you to…

Stop looking back and start looking to Jesus.
Learn what Jesus taught about getting unstuck from the many places we often find ourselves.
Move on from where you are into all God’s plans, purposes, and promises for your life.
Look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith.

I have recently listened to the Fearless podcast by Cissie Graham Lynch―daughter of Franklin Graham and granddaughter of Billy Graham and I really enjoy her practical advice and biblical knowledge which is revelant to the world we live in today. She shares personal experiences of how God has worked through her life. Each episode will take a look at different subjects and explore what the Bible teaches about those topics―encouraging listeners to explore God’s Word for themselves so that they know what they believe and why they believe it; challenging them to stand boldly for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an ever-compromising world. Listen here!

We just recently had some friends from out of town and decided to visit Gibbs Gardens. An hour drive from our home but so worth it.

The Divine Mentor is the best book I have ever read to help with my spiritual growth. The author, Wayne Cordeiro gently but directly shows readers how to move from routine to relationship–from mundane actions to fresh encounters–by learning to hear Him speak to them through the Bible. Through stories, lessons, and anecdotes, Cordeiro equips readers to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit as they read God’s Word, enabling them to transform their daily quiet time with the Lord. I read this book every year because it is that good!! Purchase @AMAZON

The book cost $13.91

A friend recommended Limonar Mexican Restaurant on 3545 Peachtree Industrial Blvd. (Behind Taco Max). Had the pleasure of dining for lunch today and it is excellent. Everything is home-cooked and locally sourced. Their food is made home-style, insisting on only using fresh and high-quality ingredients. The establishment is very inviting and super clean. Everybody was extremely nice. I can’t believe I have never been here before and I live down the street. The food was outstanding! So much flavor in the food. Reasonable pricing and smiles on everyone’s face. I will definitely be going back!

I received this Zimasilk 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase as a gift 3 months ago. I don’t know if it’s helping my hair or anti-aging or not. But the softness on my face skin is amazing. It is cool to lay on at night and it is like sleeping on a cloud. It comes beautifully packaged so if one wanted to send it as a gift it’s impressive. If you are hesitant about buying these, I would say life is too short not to take care of yourself. I would highly recommend and would buy again. I do wash in machine and let it air dry. They are on sale 23.99 @amazon – Silk pillowcase.

I received the Diamond Dazzle Stik as a gift and I love it. The soft-bristled brush is wonderful to clean your diamons or precious stones on the go. After I quickly brush my stones, I rinse in water and everything sparkles. This brush makes your diamonds sparkle like new. This high-performance formula uses micro-fine cleansers and polishing agents combined with a polymer base to bring out that glistening, new diamond look. The best feature this Diamond Dazzle Stik is conveniently portable. Throw it in your makeup bag to keep your diamonds dazzling everywhere you go. It’ll become just another one of your necessary travel accessories. You can purchase this @amazon for $8.99. Click here to purchase!

Everyone loves watching this Crawling Crab Baby Toy go across the room. The smart crab has built-in LED lights that will flash with music. This crab is so fun to watch with the multiple lights, music and the quick speed. The purpose of this toy is to stimulate the physical movement and coordination of young children and help them grow. I love it requires no batteries, the Walking Crab has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, which can run for 60 minutes without interruption after 2 hours of charging.(USB charge cable is included.) This cost is around $16.00.Click here to purchase!

Love listening to Lisa Harper and Allison Allen on Back Porch Theology Podcast. I can so relate to Lisa’s personal stories and the theology included in each episode is so easy to understand. And rest assured, this is nota one-sided conversation because throughout the podcast, Lisa invites friends, including some of her fun girlfriends and brilliant theologians and academics to join her in substantive but decidedly unstuffy segments. I enjoy listening each week as I am walking in the mornings with my dogs. Listen here!

The Bible Recap Podcast by TARA-LEIGH COBBLE is my absolute favorite. This podcast is a brief daily summary of the day’s Bible reading. Tara-Leigh follows the 1-Year Chronological Plan and summarizes each reading. Every time I listen to it, I learn something new. If you are new to studying the Bible or been reading a long time, this Podcast is for you!!! You can start anytime and line up the podcast where you are at in the Bible. This Podcast will give you a better understanding of the Bible. It’s always a good time to read the Bible!

If you are on a road trip and see the sign BUC-EES you must stop. It is one of the largest convenience stores you will ever visit. I just visited my first one, two weeks ago and I cannot describe it in a few sentences. You can shop for clothes, gifts, bathing suits, gas and even get a great hot meal. They are known for their barbecue sandwiches, beef jerky, homemade fudge, array of jerky, and, of course, its beloved Beaver Nuggets. You can even buy buckets of bacon grease. A new Buc-ee’s opens in Calhoun, Georgia, on August 23. The new location is located just off Interstate 75, about 40 miles from the Alabama state line. Buc-ee’s will take over 53,200-square feet of Calhoun real estate. Be prepared to spend some time in the store – so much to see. Road trip to Calhoun, anyone?

My favorite Veterinarian is Dr. Alida Baroco. She owns and operates Suwanee Town Center Animal Clinic and is conveniently located near Suwanee Town Center on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road. Dr. Baraco attended the UGA Vet. School and has over 16 years experience and she takes care of my 4 dogs. The staff is so friendly and very professional.http://towncenteranimalclinic.com

Testimonial: Check out the website for more reviews.

“Dr. Alida Baroco and the staff cared for our dog as if it were their own. Super friendly, accommodating, immaculate facility, no waiting time, and last but not least, no sticker shock for the procedures. Without a doubt, the best veterinarian experience our family has ever encountered, and we have had many dogs over the years.

I have used Sticker Mule several times and this company is amazing and affordable. Sticker Mule is the fastest and easiest way to buy custom printed stickers, magnets, buttons, labels and packaging in days. They offer free online proofs, free worldwide shipping and super fast turnaround. Check out their website: https://www.stickermule.com/

Here are a couple of the reviews:

I ordered a sample pack of 10 magnets in the shape of our company logo to show our Human Resources manager to see if she’d be interested in using them as giveaways at their job fairs. She loved them and had me place an order right away for an up coming show!
Been using stickermule for actual years now. Great product, great support, great prices.

Need a Bible Study to help you dive deeper into God’s Word? You will enjoy a brand-new study called 40 Days Through the Gospel of John. This study helps you understand the passages of scriptures; you will examine the historical and cultural context; you will understand the meaning John intended and then you will apply this meaning to your daily life. Be mentored by John the Baptist, Peter, Andrew, Nicodemus, The Samaritan Woman, Lazarus, Martha and many more. From them, you will gain wisdom from studying their interactions with Jesus. My prayer is that as you spend 15-20 minutes each day in the Gospel of John, you will have a true understanding of God’s character and God will give you a hunger for the Word like never before.

I have just read a wonderful book called, His Journey Home. This book is a true story through the gospels that is also embellished with fiction. As I read this book, I actually felt like I was there traveling through the different cities in Israel with Jesus. His Journey Home is a fascinating story about the people who were healed and delivered through Jesus’ ministry. This book would make a wonderful gift for yourself or your friends. See the Gospels as you have never seen them before! This book is a brand-new release 2/11/2022 and you can purchase it @ Amazon for 19.99

This is a great gift for the guy who has everything. My husband, Mark and our son-in-law, Adam recently went to xtreme experience and said it was a first-class operation. All Drivers and Riders get a ticket to the car(s) you chose, 3-4 laps in each car on a world-class racetrack, a 25min safety training class, a professional instructor in the right seat during your experience, a racing helmet to use, and access to the Pit Area with tents waiting areas, photo ops, ice-cold waters and whatever jams we’re rocking out to that day! You get to pick your car: from a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Corvette, Ford Mustang, etc. There are several price ranges to choose from. They will be back in Atlanta in July and November. Check this out @http://thextremexperience.com

I have used these Pyrex measuring cups for years. Why I like them – the tempered, non-porous glass doesn’t absorb food stains or odors and is safe to use in the oven, microwave, fridge, and freezer. My favorite part – they are easy to read measurements in cups, ounces and milliliters.

I have used this Full Focus Planner for the last two years and it works!!! We all set goals. It’s a human thing to do. They’re how we envision a better tomorrow, or next week, or next year. But achieving our goals — that’s another thing altogether. For a science-backed process with proven results, you need the goal-achievement formula of the Full Focus System. This system is all about working smarter, not harder. This is how you win and succeed at life.

My favorite part of the journal is at the end of the week you list your 3-5 major accomplishments from the past week. We tend to think of everything we didn’t do but it is encouraging when you list your accomplishments from the past week – this motivates me! The planner includes areas where you can reassign unfinished tasks from the previous week. Also, you can jot down big deadlines, events and fun activities for the coming week. You will learn through this process that rest is the secerect weapon of high achievers. I purchased the leather spiral planner because it lays flat!! Depending on the planner – the cost cn be $40.00-$50.00 and currently they are offering 10% off. You can purchase these @ fullfocusstore.com

My new favorite snack is the Fiber One Brownies, Chocolate Fudge, only 70 Calories per bar. I heat these up in the microwave for 15 seconds and top them with cool whip.

With the chocolate drizzle on top they will satisfy your sweet chocolate cravings and contain 20 percent of your recommended daily fiber intake. They also only contain three grams of fat so you can indulge on this delicious snack guilt-free. We buy the box of 40 for our house! For WW followers they count as 2 points! These can be bought at Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.

I enjoyed watching Bad Sport an American documentary series that was released on Netflix on October 6, 2021. This series explores six stories of sports and crime, told by the athletes, coaches and law enforcement officials. The show shines a spotlight on how some athletes, shady officials, and shadowy outsiders motivated by political interests, ambition, or greed stain the purity that comes with being involved in the physical world of sport. Bad Sport narrates the stories of personalities who dug themselves deep into the hole of corruption and paid hefty prices for their crimes and irresponsibility. Each story is about 60 minutes in length and I found the stories intriguing, shocking and entertaining.

**There is a delivery charge – so I used my complete gift certificate at one time and only paid the $20.00 delivery fee one time for several meals.**

I just bought this new 365 day devotion – Jesus Listens by Sarah Young – and I love it!! This is a great devotional and a great gift for someone. God desires a relationship with you through continual conversation—prayer. Jesus Listens empowers you to pray daily, whether it serves as your only prayer for the day or simply a jump starter to your own prayers.

Jesus Listens is ideal for those who . . .

are going through difficult times and looking for rest and hope
are busy from life’s demands, but want to grow their prayer life
are not sure how to pray
have been praying for years but want a closer relationship with God

The biblical basis for each prayer in Jesus Listens is given at the end of each entry so you can continually return to God’s promises in Scripture. I bought this book through Amazon.

My new favorite Ice Cream is Jeni’s. It is more expensive but so worth the taste. Jeni’s Ice Creams have a uniquely smooth texture and buttercream body, with bright flavor and clean finish (they don’t use synthetic flavorings, dyes, or off-the-shelf mixes). Our family tried three different flavors and our favorite was Brambleberry Crisp Pint – incredible. Skillet Cinnamon Roll came in 2nd. Our least favorite was Salty Carmel. Can’t wait till our next family gathering we will try more flavors. You can purchase Jeni’s at Publix, Whole Foods and Fresh Market. There are also several Jeni’s ice cream shops around town. https://jenis.com/scoop-shops/#atlanta

This is the book I am currently reading and I love it!! This book helps you discover how to break free from the chains of negative thinking and experience true freedom from unhealthy thoughts and emotions. Louie shows us how the Enemy is constantly seeking to fill our minds with destructive, harmful thoughts and lies. It’s all too easy for Satan to manipulate his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and Jesus, and to try making himself at home in your mind. It’s an ongoing battle, but one you can win! I ordered my copy from Amazon!! https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Give-Enemy-Seat-Table/dp/078524722X

See’s Candies is my favorite chocolate!!! I was introduced to this store while visiting in California and tasted my first See’s chocolate candy bar and it was love at first bite. The chocolates and candies are made in their own factories located in both Los Angeles and South San Francisco. From these chocolate factories, they send our delicious candies to the rest of our See’s chocolate shops throughout the country. See’s Candies has 200+ chocolate shops. Their great reputation is founded upon their delicious candies and chocolates, our free chocolate and candy samples, and our friendly customer service. Currently there is no store in Ga – so I order from California. My favorite is anything Chocolate, the Lollypops and the Extra Fancy Mixed Salted Nuts. My son-in-law loves these nuts, they are the highest-grade almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, and macadamias you will ever taste. They are worth the money! This is a great gift for someone who has everything and for Mother’s Day. https://www.sees.com/

America’s Test Kitchen tested many muffin pans and the winner was: OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro 12-Cup Muffin Pan. This muffin tin perfectly released its baked goods and was a dream to hold and turn. It has an oversize rim (with a lip that curls underneath) running all the way around it, so there was always a broad, secure place to grasp. Its gold finish created the most appealing baked goods, too: evenly, lightly browned and elegantly shaped. This muffin tin is perfect for muffins, cupcakes and egg bites. After I purchased this muffin pan, I tossed my others. You will love this muffin pan. I purchased this muffin pan on Amazon for 24.99. https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Non-Stick-Muffin/dp/B015CQZR6I/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=OXO+Good+Grips+Non-Stick+Pro+12-Cup+Muffin+Pan&qid=1609720651&sr=8-2

This is a great movie that combines football, family and faith. A true story, Brandon Burlsworth is perhaps the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. Brandon had always dreamed of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but was considered too short and too fat to play Division I. Greater is a wonderful movie inspiring us to never give up and go for our dreams. This is a great movie for the whole family. I was very inspired with the powerful message of this movie.

The Frixion Erasable Gel Pens write smoothly and the best part they erase as well. These pens are great for writing letters, journal entries and notes in my Bible.

You can order in many colors and pack sizes from Amazon.
