Top 5 Favorites on My Beach List

As a professed list-addict, I begin preparing for our family beach trip weeks in advance. Below are the top five favorite things you’ll find on this year’s beach list:

  1. Books: (1) Call of a Coward by Marcia Moston, won 1st Place in the Women of Faith Writing Contest. Marcia is in our Upstate Fellowship of Christian Writer’s Group and I’m proud to call her “friend”. (2) Rooms by James L. Rubart. I had the pleasure of meeting Jim at BRMCWC and look forward to turning the pages while sipping on frozen lemonade!
  2. Games: Our family loves games—card, board, outdoor—makes no difference. Cranium is a classic at our house. Where else can you see grown men acting out a blossoming flower?
  3. Gadget: I’m excited about trying out my non-glare Kindle screen, but it’s my iPod I can’t leave behind. Flashback…
  4. Edible: Stevia. Yes, Stevia. Needless to say, we’re buying groceries there, but this sweetener goes everywhere with me these days. Splenda has been banished from the Baker household! Stevia is both a sweeter (I use less) and healthier choice.
  5. Non-edible: My reading glasses—how else can I can enjoy my #1 favorites? 🙂

Call of a Coward


Congratulations, Marcia Moston! Her new book, Call of a Coward, is now released and available through WestBow Press. (Read a great review from Keiki Hendrix here.)

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Marcia through the Upstate Fellowship of Christian Writers as well as our online writer’s group The Light Brigade. Her humble and gracious spirit is sure to translate beautifully through the written word.
“The problem with promising God you’ll follow Him wherever He leads is that you just might have to go. I suspect it would be easier if you were certain of His calling—like stepping out the door and seeing the lilac bush on fire and hearing a voice commanding you. But when it’s your husband who is delivering the message—well, that leaves a little room for wonder. At least that’s how I felt when my husband rocked my comfortable middle-class afternoon with his belief God was calling us to pack up and move to a Mayan village in Guatemala.” – Call of a CowardI look forward to receiving my own copy very soon — hope you’ll consider ordering one as well.
We’re cheering you on, Marcia! Now, where did I put my pom-poms from yesterday? With this group I need to keep them in a handy spot. Yea, God!
