19. Read one parent/self-help book a month for a year. (9/12)

#9 - DECEMBER 2009 - Life in the Father's House by Wayne A. Mack and Dave Swayely

After two years of living in Pensacola, my husband and I have decided to officially become members at our church and cancel our membership at our church in Michigan. Since we are going to be living here for awhile we thought we needed to settle some roots and we just love our new church. This book was recommend by our Assistant Pastor to read before becoming a member so I thought it was a perfect way to end 2009.
