    Jonathan I would love to follow you on this adventure of writing. It is interesting that you have been challenge by your wife to do this. I started 4 years ago with mostly Eves doings to put all my journals together from the beginning of my journey with the Lord 10 years ago this coming month. I am going to try and put everything together with the help of the Lord and a lot of patience to see if I can write my first book.
