Saturday Simmer {1.29.11}

I hope to make Saturday Simmer a part of my week where I kind of recap on my week (if nothing else) and share some of my highlights.

So this week I will begin with a great blog post that I read.  It’s titled “' target=_blank>' target=_blank>Two Things Every Kid Needs to Know” and if you are a parent of children (any age, really) you will appreciate it.

On Monday night, while waiting for my husband to come home from a late meeting, I listened to this fabulous and encouraging message by James Macdonald.  I highly recommend you listen to this if you want to be challenged and encouraged in your daily Bible study.

This week I have been bringing in the swagbucks by watching the technology channel on swagbuck tv.  I do this by multi-tasking – letting it play while I fold clothes and stuff.  It’s great because I learn a ton about the latest technology out there all the while earning swagbucks to cash in for Amazon gift cards to use towards kindle books!  Sweet deal!

For those who don’t know what swagbucks is, it’s a search engine that awards you “dollars” that you can redeem for real gift certificates or prizes.  You get paid to search!  If you sign up through the widget towards the bottom of my sidebar you will be helping me out, too!  {Sorry!  Couldn’t resist the self promotion!}

Other than that, I have been busy getting ready for our trip to the Biblical Counseling Training Conference again this year.  And…with just days to go I am not feeling well.  So as I type my parents are taking our kids out, my husband just scrubbed up the tub for me, and I’m headed to soak and drink throat coat tea till I can’t hold any more!

Oh! And last, but not least, I want to share a link to an e-book I came across this week about maximizing your mornings – fabulous!
