At Bluebonnet Lake by Amanda Cabot

Her life is set to warp speed. His is slowing to a crawl. But love has its own timing. Marketing maven Kate Sherwood's world is fast-paced, challenging, and always changing. The last thing she wants to do is grind to a halt at Rainbow's End, a dilapidated resort in the Texas Hill Country. Still, she cannot deny her ailing grandmother's request to visit the place where she and her deceased husband spent one glorious week fifty years ago. There, Kate meets Greg, who appears to be the resort's unassuming handyman. But there's more to Greg than meets the eye--billions more, in fact.

Kate isn't looking for romance, but she can't deny the sparks of attraction that fly every time she and Greg are together. Could there be a future there? Or will Kate's long-sought promotion take her back to the big city?

Amanda Cabot invites you to step into a place away from the pressures of the day. You might be surprised by what you find at Rainbow's End.

Here's my review of this sweet novel:

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Amanda Cabot and her publisher for sending me a copy of "At Bluebonnet Lake" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.

“At Bluebonnet Lake” by Amanda Cabot is a sweet story about a Grandmother's reminiscences of love from 50 years ago and the discovery of love for her Granddaughter. I felt this novel was sappy at times, but it was still an enjoyable way to spend several hours.

Kate is an up-and-comer in the advertising world who really doesn’t have time for a vacation. Greg is a handsome young entrepreneur who is looking for direction. Sally is Kate’s Grandmother and the woman Kate would do anything for including take time away from work to accompany this sweet woman on a vacation to reminisce. Rainbow’s End is the dilapidated resort where Sally and her husband spent a week during their first year of marriage. It’s changed a lot in 50 years, but to Sally, the place is still magical.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics . By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons. I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations. The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying. BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures. I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended. I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process! So keep practicing. Keep sharing and discussing. I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp! For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others! And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT! I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!! We are at war boys and girls. And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact. If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle. But can I share something with you? OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!! His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down. So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
