Tips and Tidbits

Puppets with a Heart - Great TV Show for Your Kids ~ Tune in to the new television season for Mary Rice Hopkins and Company, one of our very own Heart to Heart friends!  Not only will your kids be entertained by watching, but there is great spiritual teaching as well for the young and old alike!  Watch on TBN each Saturday morning: 8:30 PT, 9:30 MT, 10:30 CT, 11:30 ET   For a sample of what you will see and hear, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXG5tFXcqQM, where you will find multiple links to Mary's wonderful ministry!  Mary is a friend of mine, as well as a Heart to Heart friend, and I've had the privilege of being at one of her concerts and an entire day of wonderful sharing of her song and puppet ministry.  You will not be disappointed!  If you are unable to get TBN, go to the link above or to www.maryricehopkins.com

Free Online Bible Courses ~ Great Bible scholars teach on many different topics at the Bible Broadcasting Network Bible Institute, can be found at www.bbnbi.org.  Thousands take these courses, offered in many languages.  They mentioned on the radio that many pastors take these Bible courses, but even more who are not pastors and are just wanting to be more grounded in the Word.
 

Kids Eat Free
~ For a less expensive Family Night Out to a restaurant, go to http://kidseat4free.com/ and insert your zip code to find out the restaurant location and days that offer free meals to kids.  Do a search ("Kids eat free") for other helpful links.

Interesting Baby News
~ Watch these numbers!  Ella Rose was born on 08/09/10 at 11:12 p.m.!   And she weighted almost 6 pounds, 7 ounces!  http://news.yahoo.com/video/cincinnati-wlwt-18191085/girl-born-on-8-9-10-at-11-12-21349417  My guess is she will also be a whiz in math in a few years!  ~ Thanks to Joyce Quam in Virginia for this link!

Subscriber Found Blue Dawn to Work in Cleaning Showers ~ "I tried your tip about cleaning the shower with blue Dawn...it worked beautifully!  Thank you for passing on such a great idea...it was very helpful." ~ Holly Powell in Virginia  (This tip was in the August newsletter).   

Little Round Table
~ You've probably seen the round cardboard tables, selling for very little in department stores.  They also come in particle board, some having a shelf.  I find they are one of the most nifty pieces of furniture to fill up a corner of a bedroom, living room or dining room, as well as a decorating opportunity and storage unit for just a few dollars.  You can easily make a round tablecloth using a good quality sheet that matches your room or you can purchase one.  A wide four-inch band of ruffles gives extra weight to the tablecloth so it will hang well, but that isn't necessary.  Decorate the top with framed photos, a flower arrangement, teapots, or books.  Then use the space under the table for hidden storage!
