local texas couple.
i am on the wait list at the library for their book.

just waiting for the 35,000 weekly visitors to leave.
caught them on the today show this week.
read this article in texas monthly last week.
saw this article in line at the store.

i have been a fan of ann voskamp for years.

i love her books especially "one thousand gifts".

i have followed her beautiful blog forever.

so when i was reading the online news this am in bed at 6am,

her name immediately jumped out at me on fox news online.

this is her post that appeared.

gotta love the christian farmers wife of six home schooled children

who lives in canada and happens to be a best selling author.

she has a way with words on a political issue without the politics !

keep the faith and encouraging words coming ann !
