SOME NEW BLOG FINDS AND A REMINDER

Monday, June 7, 2010

I love to find a new blog...so while I am working on our vacation post thought I would share a few new finds with you.

ENCOURAGEMENT is CONTAGIOUS.....and she has a great GIVEAWAY

DWELLING IN THE HOUSE
JUST FOLLOWING JESUS IN MY REAL LIFE
ALL THINGS RELATED
MY FRESHLY BREWED LIFE

Remember to check out this post...so many wonderful comments and emails...actually one I got today I am going to post here...This was in my email box...
OMG -- I am a blubbering idiot right now. I just finished the book you recommend "Raising Cole" and read it in a weekend - started it yesterday and ended it today. I have been crying for the last 1 1/2 of reading. WOW - what a powerful book and it has touched me so much.

I actually had my daughter read it - only because she needed one more book for her reading project for school and I had it but didn't start it yet because I was finishing up another book. She too read it in 2 days and couldn't wait for me to read it to talk about it. She heard me crying and said "what part are you on" and I said, "he just kissed him in his casket before starting his speech."
Although I teared up during many other parts before that, those last chapters after the funeral were tear jerkers. I almost want to write to the author and tell him how his book touched me and congratulate him on doing such a great job with his boys. I strive to be that same way with my kids and hope our relationship is just as strong!!!!
So, thanks for blogging about this - I love to read and this one was definitely a great book to add to my collection!

I forwarded her note to Marc and this was his reply,

Teresa,

Thanks for the email please tell your friend to post her response on your blog. If she would like to bless me, she can email me but if she really wants to bless me please share the book with others. I encourage all of your readers to please share the book with others as it is not my desire to sell books but to make a positive difference in peoples lives. What helps me survive is knowing that every time I make a positive difference in someones life my son did not die for nothing. It's is also a part of continuing the LOVE WARS.

Love You,
Marc

P.S. If anyone would like for me to personalize their book for Fathers Day just get it to me and I will make it happen.

So DO NOT MISS THIS READ....IT IS A BOOK NOT ONLY FOR FATHERS, but FOR EVERY PARENT.

Teresa, Thank for introducing me to some new blogging friends!
And for the lovely sentiments about the book. On your recommendation I am going to get Raising Cole.
It sounds like a very difficult but inspirational book.
