  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother.

The Church of Oprah

Several readers have sent me this. While I'm not recommending buying the book this clip is promoting, even those of us who are not daytime TV viewers or Oprah fans need to understand what she is doing - she wields such enormous influence.

Tripp and I were New Age seekers for seven years, so this is all very familiar territory for us. Marianne Williamson was promoting her Course in Miracles way back then. So Oprah is actually rather late to the party. She is still leading her followers down a very deceptive path.

Thank you to all of you who sent this to me. This week I will be sharing a personal story from one of my readers who really felt the seductive power of what I call "Have It Your Way" religion.

Love,

She may be late to the party, but she's bringing a lot of guests! Several Christians I know are participating in her online adventure. We need to continue to stand for truth.

We need to all stand firm against this deception. We've let too many things pass us by...things that are truly tearing Christians away from the only true way...God.

Thanks so much for sharing this with your blog. You have an enormous outlet! Thank you for your steadfastness and courage.
