What’s On Your Reading List?

June 26, 2019

It’s summer! I would say this week it FINALLY is feeling like summer here in West Michigan. Can I get a woohoo?

Growing up, I used to VERY MUCH dislike reading. I don’t like to use the “h” word that rhymes with “ate”, but picking up a book just for fun, well, didn’t sound like much fun. I am currently reading through a book right now, but after that, I am going to need some suggestions!

Whether you have planned a vacation this summer or plan to just enjoy the summer weather sitting outside in some way, what book would you choose to take with you? What books would you recommend? I’d love to hear from you!

End of the Year Youth Group Fun

This year marks our the end of our first year in youth ministry at North Street CRC. The year maybe didn’t look like we thought it would in our personal life, but when it comes to our church and our youth group, there are not enough positive words in the English vocab to say how…

Just Like You

I knew there was that one toy we just had to have. A toy vacuum. I know for some, it may be something completely different, but you know that “one” toy that you either had growing up or something you saw in the store and KNEW your child had to have it. Well, that was…

Tweaking Life

While my sister and I walked along the beaches of Mexico, we started to talk about New Year’s resolutions. She asked if I had made any and ironically I had not (and that is STRANGE for someone who LOVES to plan)! That question really started to make me think. Why didn’t I make any? There…

Reupholstering Chairs

I have been wanting to reupholster our chairs, but haven’t had the time to do it. When we first bought our table from an acquaintance of our realtor, the fabric was rather hideous. So we reupholstered them right away. After 5 years of use, with a LOT spilled on them, I decided it was time…
