Read THE SHORT SECOND LIFE OF BREE TANNER by Stephenie Meyer last night. Not bad.
When I saw the book at the grocery store yesterday, I thought “What’s this? Is she changing the story? Did they add something to the movie, so she had to write another book to explain it?” The trailer for the movie, Eclipse, talks about Riley. Everyone was asking, “Who the heck is Riley?”

Everything is cool. She did not change the story. Riley is in Eclipse, and so is this mysterious, Bree. It’s just been so long since we’ve read Eclipse, that we don’t remember them by name.

I enjoyed reading about Bree, and I’m glad the author decided to put out this prospective of the story. This addition definitely added a whole new dimension to her tale.

My sister has started her own blog about her favorite subject, New Orleans. Check out her site :

Her latest post is a prayer for the Saints! Go Saints!

I have recently read The Shack, a wonderfully written story about faith, fear, anger, joy and forgiveness. It was quite simply a study of humankind’s relationship with God. While some may question the book’s message regarding church attendance, and what God expects of us, I think the true message shines through. God loves his children. ALL of them. Each and every one. He loved us enough to give us free will, and his SON. God doesn’t love us because of who we are, HE loves us because of what HE IS.
Oftentimes, we get caught up in the ritual, and forget the true meaning behind our religious practices. The importance of Church isn’t about being seen, dressing up or entertainment. It’s value is the uniting of God’s people, the true church, to praise and give HIM thanks for the priceless gift of forgiveness and eternal life that is only attainable through Jesus, His son.
The Shack deals with many concepts, but is a stunning story in itself. Definitely worth reading, no matter what religion, or non-religion, you happen to be.

O God,
Master of this passing world,
hear the humble voices of your children.
The sea of Galilee obeyed your order
and returned to its former quietude.
You are still the Master of land and sea.
We live in the shadow of a danger
over which we have no control:
the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant,
can awake from its seeming lethargy,
over step its boundaries,
invade our land and spread chaos and disaster.
During this hurricane season we turn to you,
O loving Father.
Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid
and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time.
O Virgin, Star of the Sea,
Our Beloved Mother,
we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf,
so that spared from the calamities common to this area
and animated with a true spirit of gratitude,
we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son
to reach the heavenly Jerusalem
where a stormless eternity awaits us.
AMEN.
—- The Most Reverend Maurice Schexnayder, Second Bishop of Lafayette

Moving my 360 blog from Yahoo was not as easy as the one click they claimed it would take. Apparently, the file they zipped it up as is not compatiable with my new site. Sigh. Should have known it wouldn’t be that easy. Their FAQ was not helpful, and they gave no information on the download. Sigh. Time to move on.
So instead of having my blog from the past three years, I start anew. Leave the baggage behind and start fresh! That’s exactly what I need. Thank you, Yahoo.

MamaCoots.com is finally online! Yay me!

One central site for everything I’m into. Everything under the sun and moon! lol

I have downloaded my yahoo 360 blog  to save it from being deleted and hope to upload it here. So I’ll have three years of rambling about my life, interests, kids, etc.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back and visit often.
