90 Minutes in Heaven

I just finished reading 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper. I had heard some people over the summer talking about this book and it soon slipped my mind. Then last week, I went to a Girlfriend's Unlimited event at church and saw the book sitting on a table. I went that weekend to the library and found the book. I read it in a week, but you could easily read it in a day if you had the time.
Go check out the website to learn more about the book and watch the video . This book is about a man who is in a serious car accident and dies. He is dead for 90 minutes before miraculously returning to earth. He shares his experience in heaven and the healing process of the accident. He talks about his acceptance with the new him. He says several times this is his "new normal". How many times have I heard "This is our new normal" when reading about families that have children with disabilities? I have even said to people after having Mattie, "This is our new normal". Life is full of unexpected blessings. Yes, I call them blessings! They may not seem like it at the time.....but God has a plan for our life and He has a way of using you to help others. I highly recommend this book. God may just have a hidden message in it just for you!

Story Time

Caroline bought Pinklicious at the book fair last week. What a cute girly book! We loved this book! It is about a little girl who loves pink cupcakes. She loves them so much, she learns a valuable lesson on what can happen when you eat too many. We highly recommend this book.

Do you want to hear the story? If you just can't wait to get the book, click here to hear a read aloud. Personally, I think the pictures look much better in person.
