If you ask Bubs his first impression - of anything right now - he will be negative. So when we sat down to read the next book in my Usborne reviews, he immediately said he didn't like this book. So, I started reading it outloud. It wasn't two sentences and he was right beside me. Then when I said the word "treasure" he ...

Review: Hermie Who is in Charge
Hermie and Friends Series #15: Who Is in Charge Anyway?, DVD Hermie: A Common Caterpillar is one of my absolute favorite books to read to my kids. The entire point of the book is God saying, "I am not finished with you yet." What better lesson to teach your kids? God has big plans for each and every one of us. So ...
Guest Post: Life with Disabilities
This is a continuation of the Guest Post from yesterday. Read the first part here. What is Wrong? We survived like this for months. This is when we realized we were not dealing with normal childhood issues. This wasn’t right. We couldn’t dry our son’s back after a bath because he would scream hysterically. We bought a very expensive towel ...
New Look!
I have had to sit at the computer for several hours - long story - so I thought I would work on the layout of the Out-of-Sync blog. I have to admit - decorating and colors are not my forte. Although I wish they were. It's true - Momma C does not equal Martha Stewart! So, let me know your thoughts. Decor Queen? - Tell ...
Using Flannelgraph and Props to Teach the Bible
This is the third post about using flannelgraph to teach the Bible. Read the 1st post here. I have talked before about my unusual childhood. Another element of that was my Pastor and his amazing wife. I will call her “Susan.” To say that Susan was near sainthood would be an understatement.

AND Is that your Bible time as well, or do you have another set time for devotion??Thanks for the question! First of all, our Bible time is about to change. And I am so excited!!! I will ...
Review: Forget Me Not
I can not tell you how much reading this book is out of character for me. I don't like anything dealing with murder. Although I like mystery, I read (and watch for that matter) almost none. But when Waterbrook approached me about reviewing the brand new book Forget Me Not: A Novel (Crossroads Crisis Center) by Vicki Hinze, I ...
Review: This Little Prayer of Mine

And...he succeeds. With engaging rhymes and beautiful illustrations, This Little Prayer of Mine assures children that God is ...
