I am not a fan of going to the gym. I know it’s good for me, so I do it. I used to go with my youngest baby basset after school, but now he is working out at the high school with his classmates. So I changed my workout time from after school when the gym is filled with high schoolers, to the morning when the gym is filled with older people. The age ranges from 30’s to 80’s, so a much more adult crowd. I definitely feel a lot more comfortable and not so out of place. I like to do the circuit training that is a walled off section I call the Tool Corral. Yes, I know there are no tools, but this section of the gym is closed off like the tools at the hardware store. Every day I see the same people working out and chit chatting. They have seen me enough now that they have become familiar with me and greet me when I come in. Well, guess what happened last Wednesday. They decided to pick on me. I was now going to be picked on. That’s it. The decision was made. They talked about it and all agreed. I am not sure when they will start picking on me. Maybe today. I decided to give myself a bit of extra time for getting picked on, so I don’t feel rushed with my clever comebacks. I have never been good at comebacks, but I get the feeling this crowd will be patient with me. I think I am starting to like going to the gym.

Stay Out of that Room (House of Girls Book 1)

Genre: Teen & Young Adult | Children’s eBooks | Foreign Languages
FREE for a limited time
You may not believe my story, and I don’t care if you do. I know what happened and what we found out in that forbidden room.
Disaster struck in the summer of 1965 when, like a migrating goose, my wackadoodle Great Aunt Polly arrived from New Mexico with her signature eye patch matching the enormous turquoise muumuu barely stretching over her bulk.
Mom assigned Kitty and me as indentured servents to help Aunt Polly at her ancient crumbling mansion on Lake Minnetonka. We spent weeks cooking, cleaning, and prying Aunt Polly out of her beater of a car.
We hoped the hunky Minnetonka guys living next door would be interested enough in two sheltered girls from south Minneapolis to make the summer enjoyable.
Fat chance! Aunt Polly’s rules were endless. How could she expect us to obey them all? “Stay out of that room!” she said about the house’s one locked door. Stay out? Right! Kitty and I took it as an invitation to investigate.
Don’t you agree that, under the circumstances, disobedience was our duty? Not only did we find a way to be neighborly with the dudes next door. Our search for keys to that forbidden room unlocked family secrets from decades ago.
So, we found out just how far we could push Aunt Polly. Who knew she had a hunting rifle?
Take advantage of this chance to fulfill your secret wish to visit the 1960s. Buy my coming-of-age story. I promise it will make you giggle, cringe, squirm, and gasp.
Stay Out of That Room is Book 1 in the House of Girls series based on the crazy adventures of a family with eight daughters.

PERILOUS TIMES: The Degrading Character of The Last Days
by Andy Ripley
Genre: Religion & Spirituality
FREE for a limited time
In Second Timothy chapter three, verses one through five, Paul describes the character qualities which will be widely seen in the people of the last days. Although these are not necessarily qualities that are unique to the people of the final generation, as they are common to all generations of fallen human beings, the strong implication is that these evil traits will be dangerously magnified in the final days of history. The men and women of the last days will be more selfish, greedier, more boastful, prouder, more blasphemous, more disobedient, less thankful, more unholy, more unforgiving, more brutal and worse in every conceivable way when compared to previous generations. The complete loss of integrity and good character is what will make the last days so difficult to bear. This book attempts to describe how each of these character traits will impact society and how it is already affecting the world. And how up against the backdrop of this drastic societal decline, we will see the bright and glorious witness of Jesus Christ as it is reflected in the life of His true church.
