You're right JJ. I got to concentrate more on the positive sides. Sometimes it's hard, though.

Don't I know it. You are such an upbeat, positive woman that I can't imagine you feeling any other way, or someone influencing you to feel any other way...but I am a true believer in we are what we think. And maybe if you could think good things about him, or good things about your life together, then more of them would come???

But ignore me...As my best friends always tells others - Don't pay any attention to her, she hit her head on the windshield...

Thanks Dots... just put it on my library wish list. Seems others are reading this very title, as all copies are checked out across our library system (7 of the libraries have carry it). Reading the editor's notes, reviews, etc., makes me think it will have some applicable information.
Sure wish we could find something to get him off the drugs!
Thanks again.

I just started a book called "Intervention" by Terri Blackstock. It is a Christian fiction suspense. The neat thing about it is that Terri Blackstock's daughter really was into drugs and had to go to rehab. So the book pretty much tells it like it is.

WELCOME Coffeemom, I don't remember your name so maybe I missed welcoming you, if so I apologize, if not then consider yourself welcomed once again...

Hi Chatty Lady!

Thank you for the welcome! I'm glad to be here!

I finished The Shack - which I loved! How I wish there were more by this author. Now, I'm involved with three books:
A Journal for Jordan
The Lost Symbol
Edgar Sawtelle

Loved The Shack and recommended it to all. I was so grateful to have learned about that book. It's a keeper.

coffeemom, thanks for sahring about that book. I have a friend who might enjoy that one.

I just read the first of five stories in "Say You're One of Them" by Uwem Akpan, Oprah's current book club selection. The first story, entitled "An Ex-mas Feast," takes place on the streets of Nairobi. Akpan wrote of streets I walked down and smells I smelled and places I knew, people I saw there, people who spoke words I heard, and people who spoke words I spoke there. Though he wrote fiction, he wrote a story typical of so many dear desperate people there--people I knew personally. But I saw and heard and knew those people from my perspective, and I could only barely imagine what their lives were really like. Akpan gave me an altogether difference glimpse into such people's daily lives and the way they think and what some of them do out of desperation. When we lived there, my heart reeled at the urgency of so many millions of people's needs. Reading this story, my heart reels anew. My heart is heavy right now. I'm sure I need to take time to think this through.
