Questions for my friends:

1. What book(s) are you reading?
2. Who are your favorite authors?
3. What book of the Bible speaks to you right now?
4. If you had all the money you wanted and only had one day
to spend it, what would that day be like?
Answers I've received:

Hi, Louise!
(1) I'm reading "Born Amish" and the books of Leviticus and Luke.
(2) My favorite authors are C. S. Lewis and Janice Holt Giles.
(3) I'm not sure as all the books seem to hold such treasures for me.
(4) Hmmm...I suppose I would actually spend the whole day at home to coordinate my spending. First I would pay off our mortgage so my sweet Hubby would not have that burden and could concentrate on other things. The rest of the day would be spent on the computer, giving to every charity I could think of, giving to those who have a great need, and supporting the ministries of those who help the helpless and lost. I might also splurge for all our future homeschooling books, books I'd like to have in our library, plants and chickens. lol.

4. In the morning I'd pay off my mortgage and bills and those of all my family and friends. Then I'd give money to everyone that I knew - as much as they needed. In the afternoon I would lie in a hammock and drink a glass of sweet tea while listening to praise music and reading a favorite book!

1) Believing God by Beth Moore
2) Linda Howard
3) Today it's Matthew
4) Since I've really been thinking about storing for the winter... I would pay off our trip to Austria, then pay off the house, store up food for the winter, buy a car for Phyllis, purchase a new furnace and roof for the garage.
