Hello I'm Vivienne McNeny, English to the core and I've just put the kettle on so while its boiling let me tell you a little about myself. I was raised in a convent boarding school while my parents diplomatically hosted cocktail parties at foreign Embassies.
After performing in operettas as leading men and prima ballerinas I read child psychology at London Uni; flipped my speedboat while racing in the channel; taught windsurfing and water ski-ing in Southern Andalucia; an American fell in love with me in London and I took up homeschooling in Texas before our children were too old to object.
Recommended Reading:
Reasonable Faith
This concise, easy-to-read book gives a complete argument for the validity of the Christian faith. By highlighting the physical, chemical, and biological evidence indicating that the world was designed, the author demonstrates that science points unmistakably to the existence of God -- and not just any god, but the God of the Bible. This book contains powerful arguments that will challenge the non-Christian and bolster the faith of longtime believers.
Managing your Holidays
People love to celebrate. Food, family, fellowship, music, decorations, and gifts are all a part of the fun. But holidays can become harried days if we're not careful. Marcia's latest e-book offers tips and encouragement for celebrating birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas so even Mom can be blessed, not stressed.
