Boouk (cover....pages.....)

I am happy to present you all with a book recommendation!!!!






















The year 2007 will mark the quadricentennial anniversary of America s first colony--Jamestown, Virginia. In honor of this exciting benchmark, Vision Forum has published a newly revised edition of the Jamestown tercentennial classic, To Have and to Hold, an historical novel depicting the trials, struggles, and triumphs of the colony's early years. Written from a distinctly Christian perspective, "To Have and to Hold" brings to life America s birth, weaving a story of adventure and intrigue with providence and perseverance in colonial Jamestown, while outlining the trials endured by our forefathers as they built the New World. Read about swashbucklers, savages, and noblemen, as fictional characters mingle with the real Jamestown leaders and colonists. Seen through the eyes of Ralph Percy--a valiant warrior protecting and cherishing his wife, his duty, and the honor of God's holy law--"To Have and to Hold" will leave you with an appreciation for the sacrifice of those who have gone before, and a better understanding of our nation's history.

Yes. It's GREAT!

Go read it.

EMERGENCY PRAYER REQUEST!!!

Okay. Everyone is going to fast and pray non-stop for the next 24 hours. I have a little sore throat. There's a dance practice tomorrow. This is not cool. I'm not panicking. This WILL go away by tomorrow morning. Nonetheless, prayer (fasting ;) would be most appreciated.

Nothing can keep me away from that practice!!! I'd dance on crutches if I had too!!!!

Brooke

BTW, don't you panic either. I'll be FINE. With lots of prayer and fasting.

Pride and Prejudice Play

It was wonderful!!!!!

Mrs. McMinn, Molly, Laura, and Natalyn came with us, as they had tickets too. We ate somewhere known as the "Cafe Express" and then headed off to the theatre.

We ran into the Abbrats (anyone remember Kelsey?) there, too!

Anyway, THAT WAS THE BEST MR. COLLINS EVER!!! Oh, he did SUCH a wonderful job! (So convincing, so disgusting). It was also the best Mr. Bennet ever! Oh so funny! And I can't make up my mind whether or not that was the best Mrs. Bennet ever....if not, it was SURE close.

Elizabeth was okay..... not as good as the movies. As was Mr. Darcy......he didn't look a thing like the movies........

Lady Catherine was funny too: she said "If only her health would have permitted it" (about Anne) over and over.... :):):)

Very funny. Very good. Worth seeing. Especially with friends.

5 days until the wild conquerors return!
