God's Leadership and Right Order: Isaiah 9:7

My prayer for you today is that you will experience your life coming into alignment with God's Kingdom plans and purpose for you. You will not feel off-track, chaotic, or confused. The right order of God's Kingdom will shine from your life as you live out His goodness. I pray that you will see confusion leave your household as you cling to God and His goodness. May you know God's purpose for you and see it fulfilled, day after day, gift after gift, glory to glory.

Pray with me today...

Isaiah 9:7 (The Voice)
His leadership will bring such prosperity as you’ve never seen before—sustainable peace for all time. This child: God’s promise to David—a throne forever, among us, to restore sound leadership that cannot be perverted or shaken.  He will ensure justice without fail and absolute equity. Always. The intense passion of the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, will carry this to completion.

Vordak the Incomprehensible: Book Review



My son just turned 7, and he is beginning to read simple story books on his own.  This is a book that I have been reading to him, because it is geared for 4-8th graders.  The subject matter, though, is right up our alley.

The premise is that the evil super-villan Vordak has written a book to help his snivelling readers aspire to greatness as evil rulers of the world.  Each chapter helps the reader understand the importance of selecting a dastardly name, choosing minions and henchmen, building a secret evil lair...well, you get the picture. 

There are a total of 3 books in this series including Rule the School and Double Trouble

The writing is very funny, and we are enjoying it.  There are many "big words" in this book like "villany" and "incomprehensible" and "dastardly." That is why it is for older readers, but we are doing fine with me reading it to him and then explaining some of the words. 

You can even check out the the Vordak website which includes Vordak's blog, information about books, and activities/games. 

Enjoy!
