Unbroken

 

 

 

Unbroken

 

by

 

Laura Hillenbrand

 

I don't know how to begin to tell you how I feel about

this story of Louis Zamperini.

 

I put off reading this because I knew it was the kind of read that

always bothers me, and I was so right.

But, foremost, I must tell you I am so grateful that I did. 

 

I wasn't alive during World War II, but I did have uncles

that fought in the war,

 and I know they were reluctant to even have it mentioned.

 

 The story of Louis Zamperini will forever be in my heart.

His story and the story of all the men who fought and endured

are now part of me. 

 

I am even more proud to be an American.

 I usually read a book in a day or two,

 but this one took me several months.

 

I was so emotionally involved that I had to put 

it aside and read in small doses.

 

 

Do I recommend this read?

 

Absolutely!!!

 

 

 

Higher Ground

 

 

 

 

 

Liberty Christian Church

 

Epsom, North Carolina

 

 

The plaque states the land for this church

 

was dedicated by Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Powell,

 

my 3x-great grandparents, in 1880.

Are Your Autumn Colors Showing?

 

 

 

My question for today is

 

 

are your Autumn colors showing

 

 

 

We are just having tinges of color so far.

 

We usually experience peak in

 

early November.

 

 

I took this photo a few years ago when visiting

 

Connemara, the home of Carl Sandburg,

 

in Flat Rock, North Carolina.

 

It is such a beautiful place,

 

and I recommend visiting if you
