On My Mind: How did the first man come up with the excuse, "We were naked and so we hid."
I Believe In: Yahweh. Freedom of choice as the first man and woman had. The right to have feelings. All people are not created genetically equal. All people have the right to speak and bear the consequences. No two people read the same book.

About my libraryI am raising grandchildren born in 1997 and 2001. Their schools report they have trouble paying attention. The school has strict limits on what they can do to help. So its up to me. By reading I hope to discover how children learn and why or how they lose their love of learning and how to preserve that love. Critical thinking involves making a leap of faith from one secure fact to a new idea.
