The Great King and his dog -a short story

This is a story of a great king, This King had a dog that he loved very very much. Although the King love the dog , this dog was not to interested in the king or his love for her, she was restless and ran away far from her king.

The dog traveled far and wide, she became lost in the world and came to a place that was dark and unloving. She was always cold and hungry and had to eat from trash cans because no one would care for her. She was lonely and dirty because the dark part of the world made her so.

The great king would call to her and beg her to come back to him so he could take care of her, but she snarled and ran away ,thinking she could go her own way and find her own happiness in the world.

Finely after a while The king sent the Prince of the land to find and save he dog from herself. The Prince had to suffer greatly through many trials to find her. The dog would always snarl and run away deeper into the darkness. Finely it came down to the Prince having to have to sacrifice himself so that the dog could live and that's what happened.

After the Prince died, his spirit showed the Dog all that she could have had and how much the King loved her. The dog never knew that someone could love her so much after all she did, that he would die to save her and bring her to the king.

The princes spirit cleaned up the dog and make her beautiful again. The prince gave her a spirit of peace so she no longer snarled at her king, nor ran away. The spirit of the prince took her back to her King who was so happy she was safe and could be with him again. The king brought the Prince back to life so the dog could thank him and be trained and guided by him through his love and compassion.

Because of the Prince the dog got to know the love of the King and how much he wanted her to be by his side always. The dog was so happy that she no longer had to eat out of the trash or drink dirty water and she wondered why she every thought that it was s good idea to leave her king.

The dog just waged her tail and thought "I am only a dog, and I do stupid things, but thanks to the prince and my king, I can be happy again and learn what it means to be a good dog now and that's all that matters" So the dog stayed By her King forever always thankful that the Prince saved her and loved her enough to bring her home.

I am the dog in this story , The king is God and the Prince is my Lord Jesus who saved me from myself :) A short story by Lori Alcorn Thanks for reading

Book Review: Compelled Living the Mission of God by Ed Stetzer and Philip Nation

I was able to read this great book called Compelled Living the Mission of God by Ed Stetzer and Philip Nation published by New Hope Publishers: Birmingham, AL,. I got a chance to read it through Netgalley .

Here is what I thought . First this would be an awesome book for ministry groups ,church groups and any group who want to be motivated by scripture to make their missions grow. This book give us practical guidance in how to witness for Christ and how to bring the people who need Christ to the church.

This books is very easy to understand and even the individual can learn a whole lot from its scripture based teachings and guidance. It is filled with wisdom and also helps us understand how to go about being a good witness. I think this book would be fantastic for any christian book club or reading group or for those people who are really searching for a way to make their ministry become properly motivated.

Authors Ed Stetzer and Philip Nation do a fantastic job is offering us some really good suggestions and ways of thinking that are very motivational and helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone who could use a some guidance in how to have a successful and vibrant ministry project. Thanks for reading my review of Compelled Living the Mission of God.

Olay Luscious Embrace body lotion Review

As most of you know I love Olay products and I recently came across the Olay Luscious Embrace body lotion. First I think this is a really good moisturizing body Lotion and its been my experience that it really keeps the skin soft all day.

I especially Liked the fragrance of this one with the crushed orchid infusion , its so pretty and a joy to put on.

Whats also really nice is you can get this scent in the body bar and other items for fragrance layering.

If you have not had a chance to try the Olay Luscious Embrace body lotion or body wash the next time you need one of these you might want to give it a try. I think its one of the better body lotions available and with the lovely scent its all good. Its available in a really nice big bottle with a pump dispenser so its even pretty to look at. Thanks for reading my review .

Ghiradelli Milk chocolate & Truffle Review

I was able to try the new Ghiradelli Milk chocolate & Truffle through Shespeaks and I have to say this is one of my favorite Ghiradelli flavors . Its a very rich flavor milk chocolate with a filling of creamy milk chocolate.

I really liked it and the whole bag lasted about 30 second in my house LOL I wanted to post about it because you may not have heard about this flavor and I hope you give it a try. I just love all things Ghiradelli and so do my girls and Husband. My Husband is a chocolate fanatic and really thought this new flavor a really good choice for Ghiradelli to make.

for me its awesome, because I cant eat to much dark chocolate unless I want to end up with a really bad headache. I only buy milk chocolate, so as not to be tempted to eat the dark and be sick all day.

I love this because I can have as many pieces and I want with no worry and the flavor is fantastic . I hope you give it try soon you will love it to . Thanks for reading my review

Really cool websites I just found -stuff to do

Wow I just found some really cool interactive useful websites just now through the Tasters club . They had me do some things for them that lead to these sites so I thought I would share them with you they are really awesome.

The first one is from Big Huge Lab .com but the area I really like is the make your own poster with their Motivator program . Its really cool and the picture I have up above is a poster I just made with them.

I thought this would be really useful to my facebook friends who do a lot of posting up pictures and motivational sayings. There are all kinds of things you can do on the suite and its free to join and do something but they do charge you if you want to buy a printed copy of your creations. Its like 10.00 for a professionally printed poster. but these are free to make and post up or download to the computer. here is a link Big huge labs Motivator page

The other one I found is called Fitday
FREE DIET AND WEIGHT LOSS JOURNAL Create a Goal, Track Food, Log Activity, & See Progress! and the basic is free so thats really awesome

Than the last one is Penzu write in private
This is a free online journal site so that you can do your private journal in a nice place with no one peeking and its easy to use and looks really cool. Anyway thats what I found I hope they are useful to you

Book Review The Jesus we Missed By Patrick Henry Reardon

I was able to read this book through Book Sneeze and here is what I found out about it . This would be a very good book for any person who is studying theology in college or for an in depth christian church discussion or book club.

I thought it was OK, but it was doing a bit more picking apart Jesus than I was looking for. Also, some of the words were college level and though not a problem for me, I'm thinking it would, or could be a problem for new Christians or simple readers.

In short this is not a simple book, but rather and very in depth look at the life of Jesus. There is a lot of discussion on why things are presented in the gospel they way they are, in the order they are and if Jesus did or did not know things beforehand or if he only new some things beforehand and round and round.

I gave this 4 stars because its a very in depth well thought out book written at a college level that would be helpful for theology students in their studies. It would also be good for a book discussion with let say church deacons or for those learning leadership in the church.

That being said I'm not sure this one would be for everyone, I thought it nit-picky and not as uplifting as I thought it would be . It did not really teach me anything and it tended to just make me sleepy. This is not to say it would not make for a wonderful book for those of us who are looking for a in depth study about the human side of Jesus. I just personally do not need all that much information and picking apart the scriptures to strengthen my faith. Thanks for reading my review

Product Review Schiff MegaRed Krill oil

I have to say I really am in love with MegaRed Krill oil from Schiff.

I am supposed to take fish oil for the Omega 3s in provides but I'm so sick of Giant horse pills.

I have a real problem with taking large pills even if they are coated or in gel cap formula. The reason I have problems with this is because, a few years ago I was careless taking some pills 2 at a time and very nearly choked to death on them. Ever since I'm paranoid about big pills and really dread psyching myself up to take them.

What I love about MegaRed, is it provides me with everything I need nutrition wise in a very small easy to swallow gel pill that does not give me any problems swallowing it.

I cant tell you how happy I am to have found out about it through a sampling offer they had a while back. You only need to take one pill a day to get as much omega 3s as you would taking one or even 2 (depending on strength ) of the other fish oil pills available.

I measured my old gel fish oil pills agents the Mega Red and its amazing, my old pills are about an inch long and the MegaRed Very tiny.

I love that you get these awesome benefits in them

Phospholipid Omega-3's for fast absorption

100% pure omega-3 krill oil 300mg

Powerful Antioxidants

No Fishy Odor or Aftertaste Here is a picture of the supplement facts

The only thing I thing they could do better with is making these a bit more easy to afford. I have been shopping around for them and see that sometimes walgreens has these on a buy one get one deal which is great if you can find it.

Also Amazon has these for a real nice price of 19.49 for 90 soft-gels with free shipping. This is a good price because I have seen them on shelves for 29.99 for a 30 count. Here is a link to the amazon deal I found for these. Amazon great buy deal Megared

You can find some helpful info about MegaRed at this website and sometimes they have coupons and samples so check back often. This is the official MegaRed website

MegaRed
I sure hopes you give MegaRed a try For your health, and I hope the link will help you get a good deal at amazon for them. I shop at amazon a lot, you can really get some great deals there. Thanks for looking at my review :)

Review Before the Season Ends by Linore Rose Burkard

Review Before the Season Ends by Linore Rose Burkard

I got this awesome book on amazon in their top free 100 books list and Im soo happy I did. I have since bought the other 2 stories in this saga and cant wait till they come in.

I have read a lot of Christian fiction and now exclusively read only books that are of this caliber. I cant tell you how great this story is.

Before the Season Ends by Linore Rose Burkard, Is a true gem of a story. Its very hard to find a Christian Romance that offers not only a great love story but is also filled in really great Christian teaching.

A lot of the books I read sometimes just touch on Christian beliefs and scripture, you get a lot of story and little inspiration. Before the Season Ends, has a really great balance of story ,romance and inspiration.

This is the story of a Christian young lady who has been sent to her Aunt in London in the 1800s to have a season and find a husband. She is determined to find a Christian husband and feels sure God will answer her prayer ,even though she has no real fortune. Her aunt is funding the cost of the dresses and finery to present her to society in the hopes of making a acceptable match.

What follows is a set of circumstances that shows, truly, that all things work for the good for those who have faith that the Lord knows whats best for us even if we cant really see that at first.

I really loved this book , it was a joy to read and the Best Christian book I have read that has both story and faith based inspiration.

The really great thing is that the story continues in her next book which I bought on amazon in hard copy because I wanted to be sure I had it on my book shelves forever.

This is the kind of book you can read and read again. As I said I got this copy on my kindle for free last week, Im not sure if its still available for free but if it is, I encourage you to download it.

If you are looking for a great Christian story that has plenty of romance and atmosphere than look no more, this is it!

I am thankful that the Lord has made it possible for me to find an author who not only knows how to write a fantastic Regency romance but one who is able to incorporate sound Christian beliefs and situations that we can all learn from . Thank you Linore Rose Burkard ! PLEASE keep writing !
