Set plans in motion this week to attend the Special Libraries Association conference in Philadelphia, PA this coming June. I will be planning a road trip with my BFF - best friend forever, including before BFF was known. Along with the opportunity for fun and fellowship, the journey will provide inspiration and opportunity for research on my book project which will focus on Ben Franklin and other founding fathers.
Celebrating the historic places and people that made our country great in story and book form is my personal goal. Helping a new generation to understand that this country was founded by people who recognized that our sovereignty was wrestled from Great Britain, only with Divine assistance, and will continue only with God's approval, is part of a personal mission.
God gives us talents whatever they are. Reading, writing, storytelling are among those things that help me share his Word with others. I am not gifted with music or charm or lots of other ways that God's people share messages. But whatever gifts He has given me, I hope to harness to sharing His story with others. I feel blessed to be an American in this time and in this place. I want to share that story in a way that helps others know that they too are blessed to live here and they have a responsibility to protect and preserve that blessing for generations to come.
