Winner of Avenging Allaire!


 Thank you to everyone who entered!  I am guessing that not everyone reads eBooks or pdfs which is a shame as you will miss out on some wonderful books!

I noted as I went through the list on this group that several entrants forgot to leave their e-mail info. I counted all 10 entries and fortunately Random.org picked one so I didn't have to deal with checking profiles to find an e-mail!

Congratulations go to:

I will e-mail you - please respond to confirm within 72 hours.
 BTW - I had to include this link to a fun interveiw with Allaire and Margie! This gives you a small bit of feel for the author's SASS!

Sunday Words of Encouragement December 13, 2009


I think our Pastor's Advent meanings vary from what I found online.  But that is okay.  According to our Pastor today the candle signifies the shepards and PRAISE!


We can sing praises with the angels in this familiar Christmas Hymn!




A Verse for Today:
Isaiah 9:6 (New King James Version)

6 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Have a wonderful week and don't forget to give PRAISE as we get closer to Christmas Day!!
