There are a lot of good books on the market nowadays such as Fireproof and The Love Dare.  There has been a lot of talk about these two books being such great books to read.  These are books I eventually want to get.

There are also other good fiction books on the market, too.  I like to look at Christian books for these.  Janette Oke is one of my favorite authors in this category, and I have read several of her books and have more that I want to read.

If you haven’t seen The Chronicles of Narnia movies, let me recommend them!  We have seen both movies and thoroughly enjoyed them, but the movies need to be seen in sequence to understand everything in the second movie.  So, if you’re planning on seeing The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, make sure you’ve seen the first movie.  If you haven’t, then rent and watch it first. The second movie is still great even if you don’t watch the first one, but you’ll understand certain references if the first movie has been watched.

The Chronicles of Narnia movies are filled with adventure, great effects, and entertaining plots.  In my opinion, they’re a “must see.”

This song was sung at a Diamond Rio concert. I don’t know who Diamond Rio is, but I think this is a really great song. Our country was founded on certain religious principles which can be seen in our Constitutions and even in engravings on our monuments and buildings in Washington, DC. Just look at the Preambles & State Constitutions of all 50 states. Every state mentions God. People are not forced to accept these principles, but the majority of the people in our country believe and trust in God. Anytime a crisis happens, many people turn to God. But there are some people who would like to outlaw any mention of God in public at all. I don’t think that’s a good idea considering the state of the world and the terrorist situation. I’m glad the large majority of people still believe in God!

In case you haven’t seen the 7 year old sing the national anthem, click here.   This kid is amazing! I wonder if he ever had singing lessons? I just hope with this great talent that he can still be a kid and have a somewhat normal childhood.

If you’re looking for a great radio station that’s safe for the whole family, then I recommend KLTY, 94.9 FM.  My family has listened to it for several years now.  And it’s music that teenagers like too.  I know a whole lot of teenagers that listen to it as well.  We’re fortunate to live in north central Texas where we can get this station on the radio.  But for those of you who cannot, you can receive it online over your computer.  They play a lot of music and don’t talk too much like some stations do.  And when they do talk, you don’t have to worry about your kids hearing some adult talk you don’t want them to hear.  In fact, I was listening to another station one time and I got so disgusted with the topic of their conversation which all of a sudden became “R” rated that I quickly changed the station.

Another thing about KLTY, if you’re feeling happy then you can just sing right along with the songs if you want to.  If you’re feeling down, their music has a way of making you feel better.  If you’re surrounded with a lot of negative things, this music is positive and inspiring.  It’s been great for me to listen to.  I listen to it while I’m driving and it keeps my thoughts positive and focused on what’s really the priority in my life.   So if you have a chance, try listening to this station.

By the way, it’s one of the top radio stations in the country and is listened to world-wide!   Just click here and look at the very top of their home page for the “Online Radio Player.”
