I sometimes think it is such a dull title. You know, Book Club. Instead lets call it The Intellectually Stimulating Ladies Night Out. Nope, too long. How about The Weenie Roasting Book Club. Nope, can't say weenie without laughing. Oh well, lets just stick with Book Club.
So the last book was a real drag for me in that it made me angry. But, lets move on shall we!
The next book is The secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.
We will get together some time towards the end of July at the "Intentional Community" of the Parkers and Citizens. (Sorry, I don't know the other last name of the other family.)
Happy reading!!!!
For all of you who are wondering why I changed the book, see the comment from Kelly on my last blog entry.

Tagged!!!!!????!?!?!?!!?
Well, okay,
1.How many books do you own?
As I look around the house, I seem to notice that we have books everywhere! I am talking in the kitchen, den, living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, and one in the laundry room. I believe we even have some out in the cars and I know we have a stack or two in the garage. Who knew?
2. What was the last book you bought?
Well, as it happens, we just bought four books. Messy Spirituality by Michael Yaconelli, Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller, To Be Told by Don Allender, and The Joyful Christian by C.S. Lewis.
3. What was the last book you read?
I am currently reading Messy Spirituality which I am enjoying very much. It has brought a lot to light. Before that I read Tara Road by Mauve Binchey. ( I am sure I spelled that wrong.)
I didn't like that book. It made me angry, and brought up a lot of old feelings that suck. Not to mention that is was an Oprah book. But I won't go there.
4. Name five books that mean something to you.
Umm, well, okay. The Bible means a lot to me, as it has changed me forever and continues to do so every time I read it. Where The Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein is a book that means a lot. It was one of the first books I fell in love with as a child. It brings me lots of funny memories. Dangerous Wonders by Michael Yoconelli is another one that I love. It reminds me to stay as a child. My Journal is another book that means the world to me as it is the reason I am sane today. It is the story of my life and has taught me many lessons. It has been my best friend and trusted advisor. It keeps all of my secrets and never tells them to a soul. It is my direct path to God's ear.
I can't think of another one right at the moment. Perhaps I will fill in the blank later.
I guess I will tag Alisha, Amy, and Dave......

Good morning
I am finally feeling better. I was very tired from our trip. The best part of Sea World was petting the dolphins. They are so cool to watch. And the Clydesdales ( my spelling has got to be wrong on that one.) are huge.
At the Zoo, well, I really loved the Giraffe. They are amaizing creatures. Oh, and the Galapogose Turtles were very cool too. I watched as one lifted itself up on all four legs and streached it's head way up to reach a leaf on a tree. The gorilla were giant as well. I would hate to meet one of them in the wild.
It was great to see the ocean again too. I miss it. The girls were finding all kinds of shells and collecting seaweed for hours. I got to take a nap and a walk.
God is great!

Vacation
We left town and went to California to visit the zoo and Sea World. We had a great time. We have been stressed over the choice to move and Shad take a new job, or stay and continue life as it is, so this trip helped a lot.
I am tired, and ready to catch up on some sleep.
Perhaps I will write more later.

I had to be interviewed for the job Shad is trying to get. How cool is that? It went well even though I was nervous. I had a feeling like this was what God wants our next step to be. So with that said, I am mentally preparing for the next events that will (in my mind) certainly take place in the next three month. Don't worry, we aren't going anywhere yet.
I saw the pictures on Amy's blog and they were awesome! It makes me wish we could just hop on over there to Iceland and check it all out too. The kids are looking great, and I was blown away by the beauty of the place. I can only imagine what it is like in real life.
The book club location has changed, and the day and time will as well. Michelle Hunt has graciously offered to host it at her home. So look for the announcement for that.
I started reading Wanting More by Joel Vestal. It is a great book. Check it out!

Stuff
Book club will be on June 26 at 2pm at my home. Please RSVP with me by emailing me, or responding with an RSVP comment. :)
I also wanted to put out there that the Home School Convention will be on June 24th and 25th at Calvary Community located at 2900 Torrey Pines Drive. It runs noon to 9pm on the 24th and 8am until 7pm on the 25th. There will be a lot to hear and learn so check it out. There is an entry fee, but if you want to only go in to the vendor area, it's only $5.
Our house church started a cool program called Kids Around the World with our children. It is awesome, as our kids are learning all about other cultures and how there are so many billions of people in the world who have never heard of Jesus. Last night the kids got to eat some different foods that they had never tried before. It was fun to watch their faces as they tried different things. They also took turns praying for these different cultures. It was awesome to hear what was on thier hearts.
Shad is moving ahead with one of his job prospects, and we should know something pretty soon, say like the middle of this month. Pray that God's agenda happens, not ours.
Lastly, I would just like to say I miss my Carder family.
