Dry as Rain by Gina Holmes


What would you do if you were given a second chance? In Dry as Rain by Gina Holmes, Eric Yoshida finds out.

Eric and Kyra Yoshida’s marriage is in ruins. This is not how Eric envisioned his life going nor does he want his marriage to end, but he has no idea how to put the pieces back together. But when Kyra is in a car accident and loses part of her memory, Eric knows he has a chance to save his marriage and win back the woman he loves.

Dry as Rain is a great book. It is probably one of my favourites I have read this summer. The writing is fresh, modern and realistic. I feel like I am listening to Eric recount his story while sitting a coffee shop with a nice hot chocolate. It was a quick read for me because I wanted to know if Eric and Kyra are able to reconcile their differences. And through it all, the grace of God and the power of the truth shines through. It is a wonderful book meant for those last days on the beach.

In the Corn

Mataya got to go with her daddy to check on the corn. It will be ready to harvest soon! They decided to take some pictures. Mataya was so excited, she forgot to let daddy be in the picture. There we go. I thought this was sweet picture of a girl and her daddy.

American Thanksgiving

One nice thing about being from two different countries is that we can celebrate more holidays. And since there are a few more people from the states here, last night we had our own American Thanksgiving feast. There were six couples and all of the wives and two of the husbands were from the States. So the Americans out numbered the Canadians, which doesn't happen very often. And we had a feast. There was turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, stuffing and three different kinds of pies for dessert and a pumpkin cake. It was wonderful. And the fellowship was great too. The hosts said there was no assigned seating, so the ladies all sat together at one of the table and guys at the other. It was funny how it worked out, but we had great conversations full of laughter. It was a great way to celebrate a holiday. Hopefully we have started our own tradition here.

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.
