Teaser Tuesdays

My teaser today is from one of the Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson
These are in the young adult section and my daughter and I have both been reading them out of order.

Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports

My two, actually three sentences are from page 168

"I was born to fly. And yeah, I know tons of people before me have said that, thought that. But I was literally born to fly, made to fly, created with the purpose of being able to propel myself through the air as effortlessly as any bird."

Now and go visit MizB at Should Be Reading for some more Teaser Tuesdays!

Not Me Monday

Well evidently it’s Monday and time for Not Me Monday hosted by MckMama! In case you didn’t know NMM is where you get all your little secrets and imperfections out in the open while still denying them of course, as in “Who me? No Not ME!”

So what did I NOT do this week I’m sure you are waiting on the edge of your seats to find out…….well wait while I try and remember something……….

Okay I did not forget my daughter’s reading group because I forgot  what day of the week it even was! I did not have a conversation about said forgetfulness on Saturday with my friend to later realize I’d forgotten the place I was supposed to have gone on Saturday! There is no way that I’m that forgetful!

I’m not super glad that the friend I just mentioned is doing so well after her recent second surgery! I’m not going to go call her in a minute because I want to check and make sure she is still doing good! She is not a wonderful friend that I’ve known since I was 12 ! I don’t want her to start writing something on the blog she created so I can link to her and be able to read it of course!

I’m didn’t make breakfast for dinner tonight again and my hubby didn’t have to run to the store to get syrup because I hadn’t thought about it.  I’m more prepared than that!

Whew, I didn’t just stop and unlock my boys door because they locked themselves out for the 100th time this year!

Curly and I didn’t take these pictures of ourselves this week, he did not want to help me with the camera one tiny bit. And he’s not missing his front two teeth because he had to have them pulled because he hurt them a few months back! He is not a super wild, happy, silly  and sweet child! He does not love to use the F word, you know the one young boys (and some old ones too) love to use because it refers to one of their favorite things to do! Fart of course!

 

I didn’t try and create a new NMM logo for MckMama  and she didn’t send me a nice email thanking for me for my pathetic attempt, no seriously she didn’t do that, she was sweet and said she liked them both (maybe I’ll post them sometime)! I am not looking forward to seeing who’s she did pick though!

I’m not finished and I don’t think you should go and read more NMM’s!

Then Sings My Soul Saturday

I love Martina McBride and many of her songs have a great message. Here is one of my faves of hers.

Go visit Amy at Signs, Miracles & Wonders for more TSMSS!

His Name is Jesus by Max Lucado

His Name is Jesus by Max Lucado is a beautiful gift book that I received to review. It comes in a sturdy reusable cover to help protect it. This book is full of stories, chronologically ordered of Christ's life retold by Max Lucado in a way that only he can write. Though much of the book is in Lucado's own words there is still quite a bit of scripture and it is all based on scripture. This book is 191 pages of magnificent pictures, stories, quotes and scriptures. One minute this book has you rejoicing and another crying. It covers Jesus' Birth, Mission, Death, Resurrection and Legacy.

This is a book I would love to lay on my coffee table, if I only had one and didn't have a toddler running around that would rip it up! So for now it will remain in the bedroom. Here is a quote from page 68 the topic is Jesus Calls Peter to Walk on Water
"Those drenched men don't look like a team of apostles who are only a decade away from changing the world.... They look more like a handful of shivering sailors who are wondering if the next wave they ride will be there last."

I could go on just because I want to share, but you will have to read it yourself! Oh and I had to take a few pictures of it, so I will leave you with those!
