Jeff and I went to Savannah for a few days because he had a business convention there. More about our trip later, but for now I wanted to share with you the book I read will we were gone. I haven't been reading many books lately because most of my reading time is devoted to blogs, but I thought I would like to have something for our 5 hour ride in the car. I saw this book and immediately knew that I wanted to read it. I am always fascinated with the life of a celebrity and when the Chapman's little girl was accidentally killed in their own driveway by their older son I was heartbroken for them. Many times since that accident, I have been inside my house with the kids playing outside and think "that could happen to one of my kids" then I go outside and check on them.
I was in tears from the very first sentence of the "In loving memory" page. I was in tears reading the Prologue written by Beth Moore. AND I hadn't even gotten to the 1st page of the book yet! I started wondering "why in the world did I bring such a depressing book on my fun trip?" Yes, parts of it are very sad. BUT parts of it made me laugh out loud. All of it made me realize how much I take for granted on a daily basis. It encouraged me and inspired me to be a better mom. It increased my faith that the Lord will be with us during the darkest of days. Check it out....it's worth the tears.
