Create in Me

Create in Me is my feature today. This Kloria book is just fantastic. Obviously, Kloria is on an impressive role! 😀 I’ll review it below, but I also want to point out that the illustrator, Lutheran artist H. Avery Prozenko, is an iconographer! By all means, check out his additional work at Lutheran Icons!

An Amish Christmas Star

Yesterday was the release day for An Amish Christmas Star by Lutheran writer Shelley Shephard Gray, as well as Charlotte Hubbard and Rosalind Lauer. I’m thinking it’s a three-part collection of Christmas novellas or short stories. 🙂 If you like Shelley Gray’s writings, you’ll likely enjoy all three.

Pastoral & Deaconess Planners

Welp, I interrupted my life for fair week, a trip to the zoo, and my son’s ninth birthday! 🙂 Then I decided to work up both pastoral & deaconess planners that I plan to sell on Lulu some time soon. Any suggestions for those? If you’ve followed me for a year, you’ll know I’m getting pretty settled into making my husband’s pastoral planner, but this is the first year I’ve aimed for a deaconess one also. 🙂 I wonder about one for church musicians, though I’m not quite sure how I’d design it yet.

I’m also rereading Dostoevsky’s novel, The Idiot, for a book club. I’m really looking forward to discussing it. It’s such a surprisingly delightful book, even though the content is, well, as serious as ever, as Russian books can be.

Anyway, I’m wishing you a happy week, whether or not I find time to blog again for tomorrow!

PS. If you’re curious, my seven year totally scored more ribbons than me! Ha ha haa, AGAIN!
