During those early years, she imagined herself to be a one of Nancy Drew’s crime solving buddies. Today a twisty mystery, a well researched piece of historical fiction or a relatable memoir can keep her turning pages and highlighting passages well into the night.Β  While raising her four children, Sandra worked in corporate training. ...

Hey everyone--this was a magical weekend...my roses didn`t disappoint! Maybe because of all the rain we`ve received, they are more fragrant, bushier, and 100`s of blooms. They only bloom all together once a year--so here it is. All of the smaller planted roses are going gangbusters as well. My "sprite`s" (yellows) are also doing well. But for today--Here`s the Red Ladies!

Recently I had the privilege of visiting the Golladay School. I`d visited this school once before--to introduce Chubbs`s story.

This time we "discussed" the highlights instead of "reading aloud." Their teacher had read them the story (all but the ending) before I got there. πŸ“– When I arrived, the kids were ready with thought provoking questions about Teddy`s unexpected adventure in the Salt River.

They questioned how a kid could really survive such an event... and asked "hey--is this a true story?"

As we talked, they began to recognize the miracles God provided for Teddy, I loved the amazement on their faces and in their comments when they realized that God really does show up for us...

In the photo, the kids are holding a rock from the river-- with "courage" painted on it. It is meant to remind them that because God watches over us all even when we can`t see Him,they really can Live Courageously--just like Teddy.

Meet Teddy-- a nine year old boy wants to explore the desert alone. He`d been so proud of himself for slipping away unnoticed, but now the fear of being lost sucked his breath away.

He wished with all his heart he`d done things differently, but this was a mistake he couldn`t undo himself. It`s easy to relate to Teddy. The weight of mistakes we can`t fix alone feels like a back-pack of rocks.

Your middle grade reader will begin to understand too that while life can be scary or hard sometimes, the way through the difficulties depends on hope, faith and trust.
