So this morning I was thinking about what a big week it is for Melanie and her book and everyone who’s going to get to read her book because it is hilarious. And touching. And fantastic.
And then I decided that I have some sort of codependent enthusiasm disorder that causes me to be over-the-top excited about something going on with a friend – to the point that other people might be tempted to ask me to HUSH IT, POR FAVOR.
Regardless, I am so proud of my sweet friend, and since I am in fact beside myself that her book releases this Friday, I thought it would be fun to do a little impromptu giveaway. I haven’t even told Melanie that I’m going to do this, primarily because she would try to talk me out of it.
TOO LATE FOR THAT, SISTER.
So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m giving away five copies of Melanie’s book, Sparkly Green Earrings: Catching the Light at Every Turn – but you only have until 5 o’clock central time on Tuesday to enter the giveaway. A little after 5 o’clock I’ll draw for five winners, and I’ll notify them by email ASAP. And if you’ve already ordered a copy of the book, feel free to enter and then give away your prize if you win. I’ll even have it shipped to someone else if you want. Just please make sure that your email address is accurate when you leave your comment since that’s the way that I’ll contact the winners.
So. If you’d like to enter, just leave a comment with your answer to this question: what’s your favorite song right now?
(I have no idea why I picked that question.)
(But let’s just run with it.)
Remember – you have to enter the giveaway by 5 o’clock central. PM, of course. Because if you think I’m going to wake up at 5 in the morning to moderate giveaway comments, then perhaps I should introduce myself.
Can’t wait to see who wins!
(Well, really you’re all winners.)
(At least that’s what pageant emcees say.)
(And you know what? I believe ’em.)
This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be notified shortly!

Ten thousand reasons.
You Love Me Anyway…Sidewalk Prophets.
I always love to hear “Ava Maria” sung, It gives me goose pimples. I have to stop and listen and think about our Lord, and loved ones. In church when they do it in Latin, get out the tissues…..
Anything and everything Mumford and Sons. I am admittedly late to the Mumford and Sons party, but I am loving them now! Cannot wait to read Melanie’s book!!

hmmm…favorite song today is Lifesong by Casting Crowns; mainly because it’s the last song I heard before I got out of the car and I can’t think of anther song right now!
I am loving “You are for Me” by Kari Job. Powerful words…
“…I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never
Forsake me in my weakness..”
I so want to read this! I have a two week old and am doing lots of reading while nursing in the middle of the night — hopefully he could sleep thru my laughter;)
Favorite song? Hmmmm…lets go with my standard “This will always be my favorite forever and always, amen” of “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay
Actually, in honor of Melanie (ok, not really, but I know she loves the show too) I’ve been listening to the “Nashville” soundtrack on repeat for weeks now. “Love Like Mine” has been stuck in my head and I love it!!
Have read many of the delightful excerpts from Melanie’s book. As a friend and familiar with so many of her accounts and experiences, and how the book is truly writte from the heart and her love for those special people in her life, would love to receive and appreciate this end result of her talents and treasures. Thank you for considering my entry.

My favorite song right now is The Devil Went Down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band.
Whom Shall I fear – Christ Tomlin

Alive in Us – Hillsong. So good. SO. GOOD.
I am still loving Phillip Phillips “Home.”
How he loves – David Crowder

My little dude has been singing a lot of “Step Into The Water.”. So that’s my fav today.
