Sign Language

Wow! What a new way of speaking. I am more impressed with American Sign Language than any other language that I have studied. I never realized how much is said with actions and movement. I am recently taking a small crash course on ASL. It is only going to last for 12 sessions however in one day I can see how I would love to lean the language fluently. I feel that by knowing this language I am a better person. So many times we take for granted the ability to hear. I never gave it much mind until I met someone who could not hear. I find it amazing how full of life that person is. I feel as though they value things more so than I do. I truly believe that due to never understanding and still having no actual way of understanding what deaf people go through I will never appreciate ASL the way that deaf people do. Also I have recently gotten to know a gentleman who is an interpreter and I believe that he has a special calling from God. This is just a thought I had and deciede that put out there.

Twilight Saga

I am always very careful as to what my niece is allowed to read. I feel that it is my job to protect her against garbage that is out there. I feel that the Twilight Saga was well written and I tip my hat to the author. She kept me interested in the story line so much that I was standing in line at the bookstore for the release. I also want to say that her fourth book Breaking Dawn was so well written that I was lost for words. She took a topic that can be scethy and made it easy to read. I am allowing my niece to read the entire set.
