whats next

In the Bible there are many references to numbers and even more studies regarding the symbolism, or literal meaning of the numbers. But the one number that I have never heard anyone studying is day 41. Obviously there are many numbers that haven't been studied out, but seriously 41 is under appreciated. Author Chuck Tate takes a look at this concept from the flood, Jonahs 40 day preaching, Moses 40 years and others drawing the reality that immediately following day 40 or year 40 comes 41. And that day brings change growth and relief. Dealing with fear and staying the course is all part of the teaching in this book. Chuck uses some of the funniest illustrations including my favorite one about big john coming. You will have to pick up a copy to read about it yourself and you just might learn a thing or two regarding awaiting your day 41.41 Will Come: Holding on When Life Gets Tough and Standing Strong until a New Day Dawns I recieved my complimentary copy from my friends at NavPress/Tyndale House Publishers for an honest review. Truly this book was a great joy to read, and hard to put down. By the way for you that teach this is completely transferable.

The Water-Saving Garden

Living in the Midwest has its challenges when it comes to outdoor living spaces. Lack of precipitation, sandy soils and fast runoff are but a few of the challenges. Just a few miles from our house are sandy, parched areas where only certain types of plants grow. My own yard is a watering nightmare let alone creating an inviting beautiful outside area to entertain and relax. That's where the book http://images.randomhouse.com/cover/9781607747932?width=125&alt=no_cover_b4b.gif The Water-Saving Garden by Pam Penick comes in. She has done all the homework and research and put it together for your convenience. The book is full of beautiful pictures and practical advice such as capturing water from your condensation line of your air conditioner. The final chapter even has a plant guide complete with pictures, height, sun/shade requirements, and moisture requirements. But picking the plants is only part of the process. This book will walk you through ensuring you have the right irrigation process, controlling runoff and drainage as well as what material to use as a base for your garden. I was given a copy of this book from the people at blogging for books for an honest review. My honest review would be to pick up a copy and get that garden planned now, so that this spring you can be ready to get your space the help it needs.
