Blog and excerpt - IMMANUEL'S VEINS by Ted Dekker

Camy here: I'm really mad because I wanted to read this book before posting about it and just haven't had time! I've met Ted and chatted with him a couple times, and he's a very fun guy. It's also refreshingly normal--LOL I guess I had expected a best-selling author to be different somehow, but he's very down to earth.



We're supposed to answer the question, "What is sacrificial love?" My first (and obvious) answer is Jesus. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's...

Excerpt - LOVE ME TENDER by Janice Hanna

Camy here: I can't even begin to say how I was looking forward to getting this book when I first saw the cover at ICRS in July! I absolutely love the fifties, maybe because my parents were teens in the fifties and loved the music, the motorcycles, and Elvis! :)



This book is in the "When I Fall In Love" series published by Summerside Press, described as "retro romance" novels. Isn't that neat? I didn't get a chance to read this (yet) but I hope you enjoy this excerpt of chapter one as much a...

Day 18 of going low carb - cravings gone!

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.28.2010



So remember yesterday I said I'd increase my carbs a little and see how I felt? Well, I gave in to a craving and had too much quinoa (which isn't that bad, if I'm going to overdo, it might as well be quinoa, which is pretty good for you). I overshot my new carb range by about 50 grams.



Well then today, I have NO carb cravings. ZERO. Zilch. Nada. It's like it magically disappeared.



This makes me very happy for numerous reasons. One, I'm not contemplating ...

Day 17 of going low carb - increasing my carbs

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.27.2010



I've been worried about eating enough carbs with the amount of running I do, so I went searching and read in Runner's World magazine that for every hour of running, you should eat 50-100g of carbs. This is counting all your carbs, including non-starchy veggies. I was a little shocked because their sample meal plan had something like 400g of carbs for the day!



After talking it over with Captain Caffeine, I'm going to increase my carbs a little more. While o...
