Frankly, On Faith: God is Not a Game Player, He’s a Team Leader.

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

God is not a game player in the sense of messing with us. He doesn’t tease or do a bait-and-hook.

But He’s a great Team Leader. He’s honest from the get-go. Transparent in His game plan for us.

God gave up His star player so the rest of the team could win.

He has never changed the rules. He didn’t replace you with a better athlete, because He knows you are His better athlete. For this game you’re in, for the piece on the board that you represent, the cards you’ve been dealt, the track … read the rest. . .

RAFFLECOPTER: Aaron D. Gansky’s First Lines Friday

Aaron and I had our monthly business meeting the other day, and as one idea led to another, he ended up with a great new feature on his blog.

First Lines Friday asks, “What was the best first line you wrote this week?” You’ll have all weekend to contribute. Each Monday, Aaron, myself and a guest judge will select a finalist, and at the end of each month, popular vote will select the winner from those finalists.

Each monthly winner will receive a $15 gift card to their choice of Target, Starbucks, or Amazon.

Sounds like fun, yah? But wait. … read the rest. . .

Win a Week at a West Coast Time Share

So. Y’all know I’m a Trekaroo Superoo, right? I get to write reviews for family-friendly based activities, restaurants, and destinations. I’m loving it. I haven’t received a sponsored assignment yet, but I’m so okay with that. Because I love writing reviews. Even if they’re based out of my own little town.

Another reason I love Trekaroo is the giveaways they offer every week with their Monday Madness. This week is no different. But it is. This week is a doozy. A week-long stay at a west coast timeshare through ResorTime.com.

Now, I’m not affiliated with this giveaway. Which is good. … read the rest. . .

RECIPE & GIVEAWAY: Green Chili Chicken & Rice

I’ve heard people say things like “I don’t know how I ever got along without one for so long.” Or, “It’s so easy, so simple, so effortless.” And, “Delicious. Hearty. Healthy.”

Most of the time I chalk it up to hype. Someone, somewhere is exaggerating.

And then I bought my Aroma Houseware’s 6-Cup Rice Cooker.
It’s small. Convenient. And on a day like today when the outside temperature reached over 100 degrees, I didn’t have to turn my oven or stove on to feed my family a healthy, hearty, warm meal.

The rice comes out moist and full every time. … read the rest. . .
