Awesome Book Giveaway Of 'The Widow Of Saunders Creek' By Tracey Bateman

I am going to do something a little bit different on my blog. I am going to host a book giveaway. This is an awesome book I posted my review of this book here. This is the type of book you can't put down. Please enter below, the more points you get the better chance you have of winning! I would like to give something back to my readers (friends), a way of saying thank you for being faithful, folowers, readers, and my wonderful blogosphere friends, that I am so thankful to each one of you for many different reasons. Good luck!

Overview: A grief that knows no boundary. A love without any limit. A need that doesn’t end at death.

Corrie Saunders grew up in a life of privilege. But she gave it all up for Jarrod, her Army husband, a man she knew was a hero when she vowed to spend her life with him. She just didn’t expect her hero to sacrifice his life taking on an Iraqi suicide bomber.

Six months after Jarrod’s death, Corrie retreats to the family home her husband inherited deep in the Missouri Ozarks. She doesn’t know how to live without Jarrod—she doesn’t want to. By moving to Saunders Creek and living in a house beloved by him, she hopes that somehow her Jarrod will come back to her.

Something about the house suggests maybe he has. Corrie begins to wonder if she can feel Jarrod’s presence.

Jarrod’s cousin Eli is helping Corrie with the house’s restoration and he knows that his dead cousin is not what Corrie senses. Eli, as a believing man and at odds with his mystically-oriented family members, thinks friendly visits from beyond are hogwash. But he takes spirits with dark intentions seriously. Can he convince Corrie that letting go of Jarrod will lead to finding her footing again— and to the One she can truly put her faith into?

I Can't Believe It, I Am Really Back!

I am so excited to FINALLY be back online after a week of dread with my ISP, oh thank you Lord. Two good things that did come out of the complete mess is I will be getting 2 months of free DSL, and I get to go back to work, YIPPEE!!

I would like to thank everyone who has been so kind with all of your wonderful notes of encouragement, it really did help with passing the time and trying to see the humor in it, at least the best that I could anyways. Even though it took me forever with my dial up to get my messages, lol! Thank you all.

Now I am not sure about anyone else, but I was thrilled when I woke up this morning to see that we have a new President of the United States Of America, Woo Hoo! I will be even more thrilled to see what he is going to do about US jobs and our economic crisis.

I mean I do understand things are not going to change over night, but I am just so excited I could just burst, lol!

Congratulations President Obama!

I could not believe the young adults at the fire station yesterday to vote. I do have to say, I was thinking to myself "where were you 8 years ago or even 4 years ago?" Don't get me wrong I was very proud to see this and I just hope and pray it continues on like this because they are the FUTURE! Thank all of you young American's for voting yesterday, and God bless you.

God Bless America!

Oh and my ISP for getting with the program finally, lol!
