Cure for the Common Life by Max Lucado

It's only Sunday and you're already dreading Monday. You spend 50+ hours at a job you hate and come home too exhausted to pursue anything other than reality TV. You are not alone: 87 percent of workers don't find meaning at work and 80 percent believe their talents are unused. The resulting attitude impacts health, relationships, and a fundamental sense of happiness, but best-selling author Max Lucado has a cure. In his winsome, encouraging voice, Max gives practical tools to explore your uniqueness, find motivation to put it to work, and get perspective to redefine your concept of work. It's never too late to uncover strengths, discover God's will, and cure the otherwise hopeless prognosis of a common life.

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card

Ender Wiggin is a very bright young boy with a powerful skill.

Meanwhile, his brother and sister plot to wrest power from Ender.

The Hiding Place by Corrie TenBoom

Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sister Betsie, watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner."Oh, the poor woman," Corrie cried."Yes. May God forgive her," Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed.

Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christ's message and the courageous woman who listened and lived to pass it along -- with joy and triumph!

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte's impassioned novel is the love story of Jane Eyre, a plain yet spirited governess, and her arrogant, brooding Mr. Rochester. Published in 1847, under the pseudonym of Currer Bell, the book heralded a new kind of heroine—--one whose virtuous integrity, keen intellect and tireless perseverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved. Hailed by William Makepeace Thackeray as "the masterwork of great genius,"Jane Eyre is still regarded, over a century later, as one of the finest novels in English literature.

June

Miss Potter by Richard Maltby

A novel based on the upcoming motion picture on Beatrix Potter's life, starring Renée Zellweger as Beatrix Potter and Ewan McGregor as the man she loved. Written by the film's screenwriter, the novel expands the plotline of his script, blending historical fact and imaginative interpretation to tell a moving story of a Victorian woman who against the odds finds independence, artistic success and romantic love

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

So begins  Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the "most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works," and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as "irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

"The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste."
-- Virginia W

Young Women in Excellence

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY

This was the theme for the Young Women in Excellence this year.  All the girls picked one of the Young Women Values, did a project for that value and then displayed their project on a table and told everyone what they did to accomplish that goal.  All the girls did an excellent job on their projects.  They also brought a baby picture to put on their table.  It was really fun to see them all as babies.  And yes they all were Beautiful Babies and are growing up to be Beautiful Young Women.  It is so fun to watch them all learn and grow in their talents and in the gospel.  Thank you to all the Young Women leaders and for all that they do help the girls grow.  Here are some pictures of the girls projects.

Captain Crunch French Toast

This recipe came from the TV show"Diners, Drive-ins and Dives".  By the way, there is nothing low calorie about this, so if you are dieting, run away now!  But I thought that this might be fun to have on Christmas morning.  ENJOY!

7 eggs

4 oz. heavy cream

1/4 c. sugar

1 Tbsp. vanilla

cinnamon to taste

1 box Captain Crunch Cereal

1 loaf Texas Toast bread

1 stick melted butter

fresh assorted berries

In a bowl put in first 5 ingredients. Using a wire whisk, mix together. In a separate bowl. Put half of the box of cereal. Crush cereal leaving some of it whole. Coat griddle with butter using a basting brush. Dip one slice of bread, at a time into batter and then into the bowl of cereal. Make sure that it is well coated with the cereal. Place onto hot griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Top french toast with homemade whipped cream, fresh berries, and additional captain crunch cereal.

To make whipped cream, place 8 oz. of cream in a bowl along with 3/4 c. sugar. Beat on high until it stiffens. You can add more or less sugar depending on your taste.
