  “Laugh your cares away with Rose Madeline Mula, one of the Saturday Evening Post’s favorite humor writers.”  —Ted Kreiter, editor, Saturday Evening Post “Read this book sitting on the beach, relaxing in a bubble bath, commuting to work on the train, or vegging out on a Sunday afternoon.”  —Mary McHugh, author, How Not to Become a Crotchety Old Man “If laughter is the best medicine, you can throw away your prescriptions! This book will replace them all.”  —Joan Fontaine, actress, Jane Eyre (1944)  “[Rose’s] bubbling wit and humor will tickle your nose and your funny bone like the best vintage wine.”  —Russ Gorman, WOON talk show host  In her signature self-deprecating and hilarious style, humor essayist Rose Madeline Mula gripes about growing old. Her inability to stick with New Year’s resolutions, the mystery of her clothes shrinking to a smaller size with each passing season, and her susceptibility to infomercials are just a few of the problems pestering Mula. In this collection of comical compositions, readers can skip around from one laugh-out-loud essay to the next while enjoying the author’s endless wit and charm.  The animated author recalls the days before cars came equipped with electric windows, when pin boys frequented bowling alleys, and songs were composed with lovely lyrics that the listener could understand. While written with a mature audience in mind, women of all ages will enjoy this relatable book.

All his life, he captured natural movements around him and translated them into visual sensations.

He leaves behind the most wellknown masterpieces that still fascinate art lovers all over the world.

Specialists of 19th and 20th century art, the authors shed light on the birth of modernity in art, a true revolution responsible for the thriving art scene of the 20th century.

  Cowboy Up! - Life Lessons from...

  “His stories are timeless lessons of living, loving, and learning the Western way of life that will inspire all generations.” —Stuart Rosebrook, author of At Work in Arizona 
   
  If you’re served a piece of humble pie, thank the server and choke it down. So says H. Alan Day, an award-winning author and American cowboy, who grew up on a 200,000-acre southwestern cattle ranch, made a hand at age five, and lived adventures most of us only witness on Netflix. 
   
  While interacting with cowhands, horses, and the land, Alan learned valuable life lessons about loyalty, trust, humility, forgiveness, persistence, failure, innovation, and success. Now, this cowboy is ready to share his hard-earned wisdom with those who may never own or even ride a horse, much less rope a cow, train a wild mustang, or witch a well, but who, like Alan, contend day-in and day-out with the true grit of life. 
   
  Cowboy Up! is a collection of thirty-five personal stories narrated by Alan Day in his authentic western voice. These stories touch on topics that affect us all: friendship, family, business, politics, community, and conservation. As Alan learned early on, a true friend has your back for life, whether that friend has two legs or four legs. If you don’t learn to listen, you may end up swinging from your suspenders on a bunkhouse hook; and if your pickup is about to get washed away in a flash flood, you better do some quick, two-step thinking. Alan’s stories not only explore what it means to be human, they evoke laughter, disbelief, wonder, joy, and more than a few heartfelt tears.

  Without light, there is no color. 
  An object appears colored because of the way it interacts with light. The color itself comes from the light. The blue crayon is only blue because of the amount of light that is present, absorbed, and reflected off the crayon. 
  Matthew 24 says "Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world." 
  We are God’s crayons! He wants us to color this world by shining light on every part. 
  Our mission is to color the entire world. 
  In this book, we’ll explore how God is like a box of crayons by looking at the colors that are inside of the box. 
  I am excited to color this world with you through this 30-day devotional. God is light, He is color, God is Like a Box of Crayons. 
  Includes 31 downloadable devotional adult coloring pages for you to print off.
