Bushels, Westerns, and Inspirational

There should be bushels of produce coming out of our garden at this point. But as you see, it is very neglected.
However the garden has been neglected because God had other things he wanted us to tend to. He wanted us to sow into the lives of some of the people around us, which meant neglecting our patch of garden.

Harvest and fall go hand in hand. Cotton is being harvested on many farms around us. It always puts me in a pensive mood to think about what this year has reaped. This year, I have sown a lot into the people God placed in my life. I am reaping the results of that planting, and for the most part, that has been a good thing.

Now that we have been all pensive and thoughtful, here are some books from a time when more people farmed...

Top Five Favorite Westerns Never : If you haven’t read this book, you are missing out. This book is well written and reminds me of the old westerns in some ways, but much stronger story telling. Although I found it very hard to drink water while reading.The Rach Next Door and other stories: If you like old western movies like Roy Rogers and Lone Ranger, you will love this.Wanderlust Creek and other stories: If you like old western movies like Roy Rogers and Lone Ranger, you will love this.Love Comes Softly: I read this years before the movie came out and I am glad. The movie was a travesty and a horrible refection on this wonderful book about a young woman finding God. The romance in this book was sweet and secondary to finding faith.Becoming Lucy: Martha Rogers is one of my favorite Western romance writers. Her faith messages are never weak and her characters are so memorable. Jake and Lucy are such a memorable couple)

It continues to spur me on.Beyond Waiting: This book made me stand up and cheer. It was saying so many of the same things my parents had taught me, but it was a blessing to hear it from someone else.
