Book Review: Seeds of Turmoil

Bryan Wright's new book is a fascinating read on the background of the current tensions in the Middle East. His writing is a combination of well research points and a clear voice linking the significance of the past to the   problems of the present. He uses the Old Testament to show the relationship between the conflicts and the Bible, specifically with the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar.

Book Review: Starring Me

Starring Me is an adorably written new novel for young adults by Krista McGee.

An aspiring actress, Kara McKormick is set to audition for the placement of a variety show host. Arriving in sunny Orlando, competition is tough with all the other girls competing to be the co-star to pop sensation Chad Beacon, and not everyone is what they seem. Through trials and unexpected hardships Kara learns to embrace not only herself, but God as well in the ups and downs of life.

Book Review: This Scarlet Cord

In This Scarlet Cord: The Love Story of Rahab, Joan Wolf breathes new life into a biblical classic. Translated from Hebrew and Caananite, Wolf lovingly weaves a tale about passion, faith and determination.

It's a bit Romeo & Juliet, with Rahab, a beautiful young girl separated from her beloved by their different faiths. Throughout the course of the story, she struggles with her choices but ultimately embraces both her beloved and the One True God. Very amazed with the background and plot the Wolf dreamt up from the simple tale of the Scarlet Cord in the Old Testament!

Book Review: Mondays With My Old Pastor

Mondays with My Old Pastor: Sometimes All We Need Is a Reminder from Someone Who Has Walked Before Us By José Navajo is a wonderful new novel telling the story of a discouraged young priest. Through visits with his old pastor, he gains wisdom and insight on his troubles and fears. The imagery in this novel is wonderful, with roses of red and white symbolizing the growth of the young pastor.

Book Review: Hope Springs

   Kim Tate's newest novel Hope Springs tells the story of a small Southern town, and of two families that reside there. The story flips back and forth between the perspectives of three characters, Janelle, Becca, and Stephanie, a refreshing writing style. The two families are close friends and yet they remain divided by boundaries of race that still exist in the small town setting. In this modern day and age, it's pretty unique to find a story that deals with present time segregation, but Tate handles this job well!

Binge Drinking

....on Tazo tea. Earl Grey to be exact. It's 12:57pm, with a deadline of Monday morning for minimum 3 articles as well as a voice-overed animated slideshow. I'm not getting anything done. *SIGH* the tea's delicious though :)

Caffeine makes me feel alive. Apparently it's deterrent towards the growth of ****** though. Alas. ;)

Vagina Killers

Hey! Don't touch me there, this is my private square.
R-A-P-E, get the fuck away from me.

A hilarious article over at: http://www.thefrisky.com/2012-05-30/15-vagina-killers/

Vagina Killer (vah-ji´nah kil′ər) noun: 1. The thing that an otherwise acceptable man can do or say on a date to ensure that he will never get into your pants. Ever.

1. Incessant work talk. Endless chit chat about how busy you are at work and how stressful your job is renders the vagina lifeless.

2. Dave Matthews [or insert your least favorite band here]. What did you say? Dave Matthews is your favorite band of all time? Call the vaginamedics.

3. Itemizing the bill. If you don’t pay, it’s not a total vagina killer. But if you’re straight-up itemizing how much each of us owes … dead down below.
