It amazes me that this Christian author wrote classic literature at a time when the popularity of Christianity was quickly fading. <br /><br />If I could be on any-any game show: So You Think You Can Dance. Of course I'm ten years too old and twenty pounds overweight for a dancer.

If I remember right they tried to make it more of a romance than it was in real life. I don't think she ever did marry, but stayed true to her calling and her campaign to improve medical care. She was a real hero.

A soldier boy neighbor who died alone on the battlefield?<br /><br />I love Jeopardy but I'd never go on there unless I knew the categories would be Fabrics, Gardening, the Civil War, English LIterature, 70s songs . . . . the idea of facing Debra E.

Although, I'd fail the questions on composers, Shakespeare, and poetry. <br /><br />I'm inspired by my dear friend, Sharon. She is so Christlike, and such a strong prayer warrier. The example she sets forth is awesome, and I want to be more like her. I can only strive to Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.com
