Deadline, by Randy Alcorn—Review

For every book I read there is a slightly different reason behind why I initially pick it up.

Changing Direction

If you are reading this, I would hope you have noticed that the name of our blog just changed.

The idea behind “preparing for the ultimate career” (being a homemaker) is that everything we do is preparation for the future, and ought to be intentional preparation. 

So…what will this blog look like from now on? No idea, really. I have no doubt we’ll keep talking about the Bible, and what we’ve read recently. Beyond that, you’ll probably hear a lot about stuff we’re doing—at school, church, and home, from the far flung reaches of the globe (that last one is highly unlikely, but you never know)—and hopefully a little bit of the “why” behind what we do. 

I’ll also probably post book reviews and creative writing every so often, from my other blog: A Well Cultivated Mind. 

Hopefully, we can encourage other young ladies pursuing a career in homemaking, and share a few insider jokes and tricks of the trade along the way.
