History. Is it relevant anymore?

I believe that history is relevant today more than ever before.

I've always like history, especially American history. I particularly like to read about past U.S. Presidents. Another subject that has been of interest to me is anything to do with Great Britain and the Royal Family.

Fortunately, one of my son's loves history. He would rather sit down with some sort of history book than do most things, like play video games. We have one son that is probably going to be a scientist...that boy loves anything to do with science. Then there's our daughter....she is a girly-girl who loves lip gloss, getting ready to go shopping, purses, shoes, etc.

Sorry, I got off subject. My point with all of this is we can learn a lot from history. We can learn how things "used to be" but we can also learn some mistakes that were made and try not to make them again.

In our stores we have some great books that look at history on many subjects. From John F. Kennedy to how a storekeeper ran his business.

Take a look at all of our stores. You can find the links at the top of this blog and you can click on the scroll window at the bottom of the blog to see some books as well.

We offer new books, used books, and a few other things as they become available.

Fishing anyone?

Spring is almost over and Summer is on its way! That means a lot of things, but one thing it means there will be lots of people hitting the lakes and streams to try their hand at catching a fish or two...or more!

I'm in the process of gathering some fishing equipment for me and my sons so we can spend some quality time fishing this year. We are going to make a concerted effort to do some camping and fishing together. We have the poles and reels but now we need to get together some lures, hooks, sinkers...and oh yea! A tacklebox.

To help you get started as well, we've just listed some Bagley's and Rapala lures that were extras. They are at our Ebay Store so feel free to stop by and look.

If you know of any good fishing spots in North Carolina, please leave a comment and let me know. I'm on the lookout for something convenient but a good "getaway".

Thanks. Happy shopping at our stores!!

Parenting...not for the faint at heart!

Who would have thought that I would have 3 children that depend on me for their very life??? And who would think that these same three children are triplets. WoW! We were chosen to raise these little ones to survive in this world!

Well, outside of God's help and direction we couldn't have made it this far (the kids are now 11 yrs) without some help from good books. I'm a HUGE advocate for parenting literature...from the right sources. Let's face it, there are some very good people out there writing books and who know what they are doing. And there are some plain old wackos out there as well.

It's our job to discern what is best for our family and situation.

Here are some of my favorites that we offer in our stores:

Parenting Isn't For Cowards by Dr. James Dobson

Children Are From Heaven by John Gray

To Be A Father Like the Father by Michael Phillips

Just a few that I would suggest. Also take a look at our store JKL Book Supply
