Frank Schaeffer Book Giveaway!

Last Thursday I drove to Omaha, Nebraska to hear Frank Schaeffer, author of Crazy for God and lots of other really great books dealing with the crazier end of the Christianity spectrum, speak.

If you start at about eleven minutes you can skip the introductions, although the minister of the church where Frank talked does give a brief, but interesting account of his own visit to L’Abri, the [...]

The Calvin Becker Trilogy

I was introduced to the writing of Frank Schaeffer via his book Crazy For God several years ago. I loved the book and wrote about it here.

A Holiday Make-Over for the Library

We hosted Thanksgiving this year. Twenty-seven of my husband’s closest relatives stayed at our house for four days. We went hiking and played board games and watched ballgames and went to the movies and The Oracle Known as Steve staged a coup and tried to take over my kitchen, but I bravely fended him off with a carving knife, a rusty old egg beater and a very pokey meat thermometer.

Winners for the Daddy Long Legs Giveaway

September 27th, 2009

Thankfully Daddy Long Legs is a BOOK and not a spider!

I enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts on letter writing. I do think there is something very special about a real hand-written letter that can not be duplicated in any electronic form. I love to receive a good note in any form, but a letter… a hand written letter – it just means a bit more somehow…

The winners are…

16 – Lea wins the pretty green cover version of Daddy Long Legs.

80 - Iowa Cowgirl – wins the blurry red cover (sorry!) of Daddy Long Legs Try not to judge the book by it’s cover!

85 - Naomi B wins a copy of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (I just remembered I had an extra copy).

Winners please email me at mysistersfarmhouse@live.com with your mailing addresses.

Thanks to everyone who entered and for reading this silly, silly blog.

Napping on the porch,
