Retro Review: True Blue LA (Los Angeles Dodgers

REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo

MY RECOMMENDATION: Yes, with reservations

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: True Blue LA

WEB ADDRESS: http://truebluela.com

BLOG DESCRIPTION: True Blue is a blog for fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Featuring Dodgers baseball news, updates and top stories, True Blue highlights all the news about the Dodgers team.

MY REVIEW: There is such a wealth of information given by True Blue LA to your Kindle, that at a cost of 99 cents a month to have it delivered, it's not a bad deal, especially if you're a true blue LA Dodgers fan.

Unfortunately, like most of the SportsBlog Nation blogs, many of the features available on the website aren't available on the Kindle. There are videos, audio, lots and lots of photos, and probably even game threads that you won't see unless you actually visit this blog web's page.

However, I frankly anticipate that once the season actually begins and the posts really start coming, they'll mostly be text-based, and Kindle users will be able to enjoy having the articles delivered directly to their Kindle.

Peace of My Heart (grief counselling)

REVIEWED BY: Marguerite Zelle

MY RECOMMENDATION: Kinda Sorta

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: Peace of my Heart, by Kim Eckels

WEB ADDRESS: http://peaceofmyheart-kristen.blogspot.com/

BLOG DESCRIPTION: One mom's journey from burying a piece of her heart with her infant daughter to finding the true peace of her heart with her Savior.

MY REVIEW: This blog hasn't been updated since March 8, 2011. However, the author has never updated this blog very much - averaging 35 posts a year. So she may continue on with it.

The blog deals with grief and the loss of a child, from a Christian perspective. If you're a Christian, it's worth checking out, either on the web or subscribing for the 2 week free subscription to read it before unsubscribing!

A delicate balance Posted by Kim @ Peace of my Heart on Tuesday, March 08, 2011 |

There is just so much sorrow in the missing. It's the missing that makes my heart ache. I miss her tiny voice, her wiggles, her legs that always seemed to be in motion, her sweet smile (with an occasional hint of an ornery grin). I miss her fuzzy little head, that beautiful baby scent, the feel of her snuggled into my arms. I miss her eyes, those amazing eyes. I just miss her. The sad irony is that I not only miss all of these things that were wrapped up into three months, I miss the things I didn't get to experience with Kristen. Perhaps even more than I miss what I had, I ache for what will never be.

As much sadness as there is in the missing, however, there is even more hope in the knowing! What sustains me is the knowing that none of what happened to our family is a surprise to God. He is God and I'm not. He knows what He's doing! I take comfort in the knowing that Kristen left our arms for the eternal safety of His. She's perfect and in His presence! There is hope in the knowing that our heavenly Father will make all of this right one glorious day!

In the here and now, the missing tends to get in the way of remembering the knowing. The waves that wash over me sometimes crash so loudly against the shore that I can barely hear His voice. I know, however, that it's there. He's there. The knowing is never gone. I suppose the missing and the knowing, like the sorrow and the joy, will always be part of a delicate balancing act. For the times when I lose that balance, I am so thankful for the Almighty who is always there to catch me.

EReader App News (aka Kindle Application (Games) News!

REVIEWED BY: Marguerite Zelle

MY RECOMMENDATION: YES

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: N/A

WEB ADDRESS: ereaderappnews.com

BLOG DESCRIPTION: This blog is rather unique in that we only focus on the new Active Content market for the Kindle. Amazon does not make it very easy for Kindle owners to find new apps and games so we attempt to solve that problem. We do announcements for all the new apps that are launched and feature a directory of all the Active Content on the Kindle Store.

MY REVIEW: This is an excellent blog for those individuals who want to be able to do more with their Kindle than just read books. It's an excellent resource - one that you'd think that Amazon would provide, but as their blog description points out, Kindle doesn't seem to be too interested in promoting games - or blogs - for that matter.

There's a lot of stuff out there for your Kindle - this blog will help you find it.
