Book of the Month: How To Raise God Wise Kids In A Satan Rich World
It is summer and they are watching everything you do. As a matter of fact, they are going to do what they see you do. How do you get around this?
You better know God.
In a world that can seem hopeless, kids need a reason to hope. In addition to teaching our children how to get into college, play sports and chase the American Dream, there is something greater to be learned. He created the universe with stars and planets, yet the desire of His heart was to reconcile with people whom He loved. In this devotional, the author shares ideas of how to help your children have a personal relationship with God. Through scripture, art and stories, she shared the opportunities she had to teach her own child to get to know God.

Book of The Month: When You Forget Your Phone
Memorizing the word of God helps put God’s word on your heart. In this updated book, I tell how knowing His word has helped me.
Where You Come From?
Always remember. Honor it. It made you.
Honestly, there are some days I don’t get me. But when I visit home it becomes clear. Crystal.
My hometown is Fort Worth, Texas where the west begins, but still stuck in the old south. It had great chicken fried steak and sweet tea. There are good schools that pass out fine educations. I went to school with some of the best and brightest.
In high school, I got to interview Alan Bean, Astronaut from the Apollo 12 mission for the school newspaper because he was a graduate from the same school. I remember this moment because he made all of the other media wait and gave me the first few minutes of his time. It made a lasting impression.
For many years the city was gerrymandered so that Republicans could maintain control of government positions. I lived in an African American neighborhood south of downtown Fort Worth, and my congressional representative was a physician who lived in South Lake, one of the richest neighborhoods in the state. There were no town halls with him but I did learn that I lived in a food desert, which is an urban area where it is difficult to buy affordable or fresh food. This neglect made a lasting impression.
It is still a city plagued with racist ideas because the current leadership does not appreciate what marginalized voices bring to the table. The majority still believe that electing a sheriff that kicks out immigrants is the way to fix our problems. The majority believes electing officials who cover up abusive police officers is the way to handle problems. It is making a national impression.
Knowing that I come from this type of environment makes me cautious because some things I might think are normal, are probably racist. Some of the things I have learned to live with, I probably should not have.
So look at where you come from because it will definitely affect where you are going.
Book of the Month
Welcome to June. The book of the month is When You Forget Your Phone.
In my phone are hundreds of names and numbers. Without my phone, I only remember two phone numbers. I don’t even know my daughter’s phone number. When you have your bible with you or access to it, you are probably pretty confident. But when you are in the midst of a trial and your bible and the app are not available, what do you rely on?
When You Forget Your Phone is a devotional that challenges you to memorize God’s word. If you know God’s word, it is easier to stand on His promises when your world is turbulent. These are easy and powerful verses that help build a secure faith.
The fifteen verses included in this devotional are verses that God has spoken in the life of the author over the last year. With each verse is a photo, taken by the author, to represent the life in those verses. This book will give some insight into her journey with the Lord.
