Need a book to read?.......

Hi all...
Recently a lady I work with lent me this book to read.
What a great book!! I loved every minute of it...

Its called Traveling Light by Max Lucado
Releasing the burdens you were never intended to bear
 
This is what is written on the back of the book:

The Luggage of Life.
Haven't you been known to pick up a few bags?

Weary travelers. You've seen them - everything they own crammed
into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies
with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels and backpacks.
Back aches. Feet burn. Eyelids droop.
We've all seen people like that.
At times we are people like that - if not with our physical luggage,
then at least with our spiritual load.
Fear. Worry. Discontent.
No wonder we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that
excess baggage. Wouldn't it be nice to lose some of those bags?
With the twenty third Psalm as our guide, Max Lucado walks us through
a helpful inventory of our burdens. May God use this Psalm to remind you
to release the burdens you were never intended to bear.

You can purchase this book in a paperback from Koorong for $19.99
The one pictured is a hard cover.
Its worth every cent. Its a great book to give away also.

Happy reading...

Cheers, Monty xx

PS.. I forgot to mention that 3/4 of the book is reading and the other
1/4 of the book is a study guide on the different burdens.
Its great to be able to go through it with your spouse,
or its a book you might like to discuss at a book club....

November pics.....

Last week Friday evening we decided to have a BBQ dinner down at Emu Point Marina.
The boys packed the fishing rods, while the girls packed the food :o)
It was a beautiful evening. Everyone enjoyed themselves and really didn't want to go home
until the mozzies decided that it was time for us to go :o(
 I decided to take the Pentax camera with me to capture some beautiful memories.

Enjoy the photos.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Cutting up bait for her big brothers
 
On Saturday Chloe got to have another horse riding lesson.
She absolutely loves these lessons. I haven't really had a chance to watch her much
so this particular day I came early so I could take some photos of her.
I can't believe how confident she has become around horses now.
It was so beautiful to watch her smiling and so carefree.

And a treat for letting her have a wonderful ride
 
Sorry my blog has been so quiet. Life has been pretty hectic.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Cheers, Monty
