Encouraging Fiction
The reading binge continues…I have an insatiable appetite right now for encouraging fiction, and Karen Kingsbury is meeting that need.
I completed the series, with the first, Angels Walking- A Novel . A beautiful novel with Tyler, a baseball player, Sami, a one time girlfriend and Virginia, a precious resident at an assisted living facility.
Karen weaves the story of love, redemption, grace and forgiveness in such an beautiful way. We are always entertaining “angels unaware”, and this author gives us a glimpse of what that looks like.
The second book of the trilogy, Chasing Sunsets, Karen Kingsbury continues with the expansion of the story of Marcus and Mary Catherine. Both of these characters are friends of Tyler and Sami. The angels are always on mission, and this book continues to show us the lives that the angels are needing to protect.
The third and final book, Brush of Wings, Karen continues to share the stories of each of the couples. We also meet a young woman, Lexy, who is involved in a gang lifestyle that threatens her life, and the future that the Father has the angels protecting.
I love the way Karen allows us to peek behind the curtain at the angels. Ember, Beck, Jag and Aspyn, the angels throughout the series and in this third book,

work together on this very important mission.
Karen always makes books easy to read and hard to put down. These three were no exceptions.
I just finished Oceans Apart…paperback or Oceans Apart- Kindle so I will talk about it next time.
Until then, pardon me while I start another KK book!

Weeds
I love growing flowers in my yard and I have way too many. You can ask my husband who helps me water.
I don’t love growing weeds. And evidently, they do not need water.
Weeds remind me of trials, tribulations, problems, just the icky part of life that sometimes walks right in and makes itself at home. No water needed, no fertilizer or particular soil.
So when I saw these weeds the other day at the edge of the creek the Father reminded me of a simple truth.
Sometimes those weeds can become pretty flowers.
Sometimes those things in our lives that bring us pain, frustration, and trouble can turn into the most beautiful part of our life.
I had to stop and think about that for a minute.
Sometimes those weeds end up being the favorite part of our yard.
And all along I thought it was just a weed.
