Joel 1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
Amos 1:1-2
1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of
Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of
Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two
years before the earthquake.
2 And he said, The LORD will roar
from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of
the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

Not Dead Yet (Guardian series) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. The problem with finishing one of her books is that now I have to wait for the next one. It's always good to see old friends from earlier stories. As a side note, I also enjoy reading about the food, especially this time since this takes place in Paris. Good memories.
Celebrate with a story.
All or Nothing
The tenth novella in the series...
Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens,
except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust
God.
Secrets? Angela Goodrich owns a few. Moving to Holiday is her dream come
true. As Holiday Sweets' new manager, she wants a fresh start even as
she wants to share the truth of who she is. Will she still be welcomed?
Anger issues? Caleb Bronson denies it despite the fact he'd like to
throttle his EMT partner's new fiancé for wronging his sister. What does
it matter if his anger is dominating his life and spills over on the
attractive and newest resident of Holiday?
The truth will set you free, if you're willing to endure the discomfort
of letting go of the lies. God knows the pain hidden in the soul
anyway...

Dreams by Starlight (The Dreams Series Book 1) by Staci Stallings contemporary Christian romance. It stands alone but promises more, if you want it. I do! I always feel like I've grown, in spirit, after reading one of Staci Stallings' books. I prefer paperback so I can underline passage that offer me insights.
Reunion (The Dreams Series Book 2) by Staci Stallings contemporary Christian romance. It was painful to watch the protagonists struggle, but worth it in the end. More insights. Inspiring. Love this story and the series.
New Bliss shared a new 3-hour ambience video of a tree house in a thunderstorm. I love the whimsy.
Just over 700 words added. Storms kept blowing in, lots of lightning and a couple of power outages. I'd turn off my computer. Hopefully, this coming week will be better.

Daniel 1:1-4
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

Ezekiel 1:1-3
1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3 The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.

Lamentations 1:1-3
1 How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
2 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
