Excerpt - One Simple Act by Debbie Macomber
Camy here:
I really love this book. Debbie's voice is warm and encouraging, and I especially enjoyed the tip she gives of starting a gratitude journal. I did, and it has really helped me see God's hand in so many different aspects of my life (I blogged about it on Faithchick.com). The format of this book is convenient for a quick devotional or just reading at odd times (like while waiting for the pasta to boil).
Today's Wild Card author is:
Debbie Macomber

Scones
Captain's Log, Stardate 12.01.2009
I grew up in Hawaii, and I'm 4th generation Japanese American, so you can imagine how I never knew what scones were when I was growing up. LOL
But I fell in love (haha) with Regency romances when I was in high school (my very first was Regency Miss by Alix Melbourne and I loved it! Ahhhh that's bringing back fond memories). And of course Regency heroes and heroines (although mostly the heroines) are drinking tea and eating scones.

I'm over at Girls, God, and the Good Life blog with a short post about a question that came up at youth group:
Camy here, talking about something a little more serious than normal (for me). At youth group the other night, one of the girls asked what to say when a friend or someone asks a really hard question, like if they're going to hell because they don't believe in Jesus, or why bad things happen, or something like that.

Nooky love
Captain's Log, Stardate 11.24.2009
I totally want a Barnes & Noble Nook ebook reader.
Seriously, I'm in luuuuuuuuuuv.
I've been using the Sony eReader for several months now, and I LOVE using it. The screen size is really nice and I like the portability of being able to take my ebooks with me wherever I go.
I've also used it for writing—I loaded my story synopsis, notes, and unfinished manuscript on it (I saved them as .html documents and then used Calibre to convert them into .lrf format). Then...
