Eat Your Vegetables

In the summer time it's easy to eat fast food on the go. Sometimes we forget how important vegetables are. Some of us don't even like vegetables. Aiden is one of those kids. He found himself in a prison cell made of carrots. Can you imagine? Find out what he does in the book, The Prisoner of Carrot Castle. Today is the release of The Prisoner of Carrot Castle, pun intended.

In addition to this fascinating book is the iPad app of The Prisoner of Carrot Castle. Maybe you can help Aiden escape the angry King!

My friend, Chris Pedersen, wrote this book and several others because she is passionate about eating good things. A few years ago the doctor told her that her colon cancer would take her life. God had another plan. He showed Miss Chris the foods that help fight cancer and she lives today to tell you and others how tasty vegetables can be.

If you will leave a comment, I will put your name in a drawing for a free copy of The Prisoner of Carrot Castle signed by Miss Chris on July 4, 2013. I hope you win! You will love this book.

Summer's Here!

School is out! Summer's finally here. Do you have big plans?
Camping with your family?
Church, music or scout camp?
Swimming or the city zoo?

Whatever you do, it's easy to fall down in your faith and become an easy target for temptation. How will you avoid getting off track this summer? Here are seven tips:

1. Read the Bible and talk to God every day. This helps you remember to do what is right.
2. Think of ways you can help people. Don't always think about yourself.
3. Read good books.
4. Watch wholesome movies or TV.
5. Be safe by being cautious. Slow down. Put on sunscreen.
6. Get plenty of rest.
7. Eat healthy food. Fast food is delicious, but you don't need it every day.

Think About It
No one wants to be around a grumpo. When we don't get enough rest or eat right, we get irritable. That's not fun for anyone. How will you practice thinking of other people this summer?

Pray About It
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for a break from school. Sometimes without the normal structure, life gets confusing and I forget to live for you. Help me not to fall away but to live for you. Amen.
