Ginny is my introduction to all music. She is an avid new-music hunter and has a knack for finding good stuff that I would otherwise never have heard of. With that said, I can typically take or leave quite a bit of the up-and-comers that she is excited about. However, here are a couple that stood out upon introduction, and have managed to find their way onto both of our short list:
> Jesus Wants to Save Christians. Rob Bell.
> A Grace Disguised. Jerry Sittser.
> Girl Meets God. Lauren Winner. (Ginny lost it, but she loved the parts she read)
nver Moore.

> King of Kong ; Fist Full of Quarters

> Bum Genius (G)
> Mutsy Spider (stroller/ M & G)-
The criteria were:
– Fold into really small (in order to fit in our VW bug).
– Look like trendy modern hipsters who just happen to live in Arkansas (joke).
– Not make Matt stroke at the pricetag (thus, Bugaboo was out).
Thanks to our friend Cary, we found one we love.

Hi!
my name is Nilo and I just saw an episode of oprah in swedish tv, and you guys were on that show.I can say that i have never been so moved in all my life. I cried so bad. The video you made is so beautiful och touching.
I realize that we in sweden are seeing “old” episodes of oprah. And I saw on your blog that your daughter has been born and i am truly happy for you guys. I wish you the best of luck with everything.
with love
you are not forgotten
eliot is not forgotten

I am terrible at finishing books. Four kids and homeschooling I spend a great deal of time “reading” but it usually involves a grading pen.
I did read Same Kind of Different as Me. Cried like a baby and laughed out loud. Being a Texas girl and knowing these landmarks and mindsets made this true story resonate deep in my heart.
Glad you guys are exposing yourself a little for us 😉 We all grew to love ya’ll as you shared Eliot’s beautiful life.

We are also in the middle of a FLOR purchase. It’s terrific…not as scary for us, because we have a retailer down the street.
You guys are cool. We should hang out.

Oh how I wish you’d made all your list items into links… links for the lazies like me who are too, well, lazy to look anything up on our own!
I may just look up FLOR cause I’m curious.
