Seven Miracles that Saved America

I'm reading a really wonderful book called The Seven Miracles That Saved America and Why They are Important by Stewart. It is an awesome book! Although I love history, I like to read it in the form of fiction with a little romance thrown in. This book is written as parts fictional first hand account and historian's perspective. Did you know that the Chinese circumnavigated the globe long before anyone else? That they should have been the ones to find America and just think how that would change our history today. The books repeatedly shows that this nation has been under the protecting hand of Almighty God. As a Book of Mormon believer, I know why. But I also know what is going to happen to this nation. While I might slip into a momentary worry, I know who holds the future, and I know His plan. I pray that I am on the side of righteousness in that day.

I'm considering eating my young.

Home from the ranch. There was snow, but it wasn't too cold. Enjoyed having a fire in the stove when we came back from a little hike. Jim and I talked about our New Year's trip on 12/31/08-1/1/09 when we had to walk into the ranch in snow. As expected we laughed a lot about it, but that night I was in tears, soaking wet, and more tired than I've ever been in my life. Chase went along on this trip and we enjoyed having him there. I love it when the boys cook, we eat like kings! A great get away. Now I'm ready for a new week.
