About the book:

What if exploring America could draw you closer to God—without ever leaving home?


From Sea to Shining Sea is a book of daily devotions inspired by a lifetime of travel to all 50 states.

From standing on the “Field of Dreams” in Iowa to panning for gold in a South Dakota creek, these pages capture memorable journeys with deep spiritual insights that invite you to grow in your relationship with God.

Inside this devotional, you’ll discover:

  • 50 short devotions—one for each state—perfect for daily reading and easy to fit into your busy schedule.
  • Inspiring stories from the authors’ travels, along with practical guidance to encourage you in your day-to-day life.
  • Bible verses, reflection questions, and prayer prompts that provide daily direction in your spiritual walk to keep your focus on God.

From Sea to Shining Sea is not a book about luxury vacations. These meditational readings reflect on simple, down-to-earth trips shared by a pastor and teacher married for nearly sixty years. It’s perfect for travel lovers or anyone looking for a devotional to refresh and strengthen their faith.

Join the authors over the next 50 days exploring the United States, while nourishing your soul on a journey that draws you closer to God.


My Review: This little gem arrived just a few days ago and I approached this book differently them most books.   Instead of starting at the beginning of the book I went from Iowa because it is where I call home to Wisconsin since that is where I originate from.   After reading those I jumped to other Midwest states I have been to from Minnesota to Illinois and Michigan. Each devotional only a few pages and each end with "Reflect" "Read" and " Pray."  Then I expanded to more states and still need to finish all of them.   I got to thinking about how thankful I am that I have been to so many states.   Now I have even more excitement about visiting some I have not been to yet.  I will say I am thankful that these devotionals did not point to expensive or lavish vacations but rather something unique about the state that leads to new spiritual insights and points you to a mighty Father! 

Overall the stories are very fun and touching as this family has visited all the states.  Each state has a very simple message that effortlessly appears to connect to scripture and reflection so it can be more applicable to every person.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
