Thank you for your prayers!  My family and our house are safe.

No, I am not talking about the weather outside; it is still hot here.  I have a cold and I am ready to be over it!

I laughed so hard at this, I though you might enjoy it.

First of all, welcome to September! Summer is coming to an end, and autumn is beginning. Tuesday I wrote 4,000 words bringing my total up to 9,000. However, yesterday I was very tired so I wrote just over 1,000 words.


It has been fun to spend so much time writing my book and seeing it near completion, however my fingers are suffering. I have three fingers that are sore, one of them I have a band aid on because it got so bad. Between my book, blogging, MOHL, e-mails, and chatting with friends, my fingers have been on a typing marathon.

History was my favorite subject in school and I still love to curl up with a biography or book on a time long ago and learn about the people and events of that time. I love see how events fit together into a bigger picture and how God has used even some of the world’s most awful events for his glory.

Want an example? Think about Alexander the Great; he conquered most of the world, spreading the Greek language across the globe. Why is this important? It allowed the New Testament, which was written in Greek, to be understood by many more people. That is one of my favorite stories of God using something bad for his glory.

What about you? Do you have a favorite event or story from history? What is it?
