I just really have to do this. I hope that Linda at 2nd-Cup-of-Coffee doesn't mind the resurrection of this meme but it-is-just-necessary. :-)  Lid, is it cool with you?

1. I've always wondered why we were taught both printing and cursive. Do you prefer to print or write cursive? (Keyboard is not a choice.) Personally, I have my favorite letters that must be written and I slide right into printing without choice. My brain to hand signals are warped just a bit! 2. Are you a dreamer or a realist? Dreamer, definitely a dreamer! 3. Billy Joel or Elton

Our church has undergone some addition and in the process we are adding a library. They have emptied out some of the older books and set them out for the taking!! Imagine my surprise when I found a beautiful old book!! The illustrations are gorgeous in the book! I have collected old books of various sorts since '94. My first find was book of poetry from 1895 by Keats which contained a pressed

What kind of legacy will you leave, to what will your children see you cleave? Do you cling to the eternal the Heavenly Father above, or do you wander aimlessly in search of an earthly love? Do you seek Him out to be your strength and your shield? Or do you run through all the stops with a failure to yield? Do you find yourself alone and out of place?
