Hidden on a Hill
I have decided that I will post some of the things that I am writing for my college composition classes. I don't much feel like blogging right now so I won't go into much of my life right now. I am happy to annouce that I am writing a book, I don't necessarily have a title or a real clear topic for the book, but it will be non-fiction. I will put a few glimpses/excerpts on here from time time. It should be an interesting book as I live an interesting life :) not really... but I have an interesting point of view on life due to the way I was raised, my educational experiences, my moral standard and my "religious" (I hate the word religious but I think that's the most universal way to refer to it) views.

oh so exciting!! writing a book!! i bet your family is proud :-)
ReplyDeleteI love everything you are doing with your blog now. The title, the background, the writing, I am proud of you that you are starting a book. You will probably discover what I have. It's easier said than done but so exhilirating (i think i butchered that word). I know how you feel about the woods. This morning was deer opener. I got up at 5:30 and got ready to go out. The boys left to go to their tree stand at six. I left at 6:30. It was so strange standing there on the front steps, the blackness of early morning everywhere I look. And mom and daddy just standing in the doorway saying good-bye. I asked how they could do this to me. Just send me off into the night with a gun. But they said Reb had prepared them because he made them send him off. So mom took her picture, they prayed, and I walked out into the darkness. I knew I would be freaking out about every little sound as I walked down the highway, so I whispered "God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind". That's a verse you probably taught me a long time ago and now Emmy says it. I went to the gravel pit and climbed the hill that is probably as tall or taller than our house. I sat there and stared at the stars and watched around me for animals. I thought of you. "Skygirl would love this". I saw an animal run by me at the foot of the hill. Probably a coyote, judging as best I can from the size. I wasn't scared, for some reason. Curious, yes but scared no. I saw no deer and I had to come in early because I was so cold, I am still cold more than two hours later and stiff too. But you should come with me tomorrow and sit on the hill. It is spectacular. And if you came I wouldn't need my bible verse so much. You don't have to worry. The entire time I am on the hill, my gun is cocked!

ps It is an honor that you put one of my pictures up as your header. I saw it and I was like "Aaaaaawwwww". I knew some of my pics got put on your computer, but I thought you would delete them. That was my VERY FIRST watch. I wear it as a necklace now because it is so special. And it is special that you deemed it beautiful enough to put up.
