TODAY IS . . .

      It's Saint Patrick's Day today!!! And if you're like me, that really makes no difference in your day!!! How many of you actually celebrate St. Patrick's Day and how do you do it??? I'd love to hear from you guys!!
 
      Today is also my 20th birthday. So I'm going to answer the questions that were sent in to me, and a few that were added.

QUESTION ONE - How old were you when you got saved?

    ANSWER - I was 3 1/2 years old. Growing up in a Christian home, I was taught from the Bible from a REALLY young age and although, at the age of 3 1/2 I didn't understand it all, (I still don't:) I knew enough to know that I was a sinner and on my way to Hell. I knew that Jesus had died to pay for my sins and I put my faith in Him. Since then, I've had many struggles, bumps, and doubts in my spiritual life, but God is SOOOOO Good!!! He is always there and He is the same yesterday, today, and FOREVER!!!!

QUESTION TWO - How many books have you written?

     ANSWER - It's complicated!!! I think I would have to say I've written ten books. Five of them are published, one of them will be published by May, and the other four I wrote this winter and they're still in the rough draft stage. Hopefully I'll be able to edit them when I get home from camp. I also have a workbook/unit study book that I don't count with my fiction but that is also published.

QUESTION THREE - What do you want to be when you grow up?

        ANSWER - A writer!!!! However, if I can't be a writer, than I would like to be a writing coach or teacher.

QUESTION FOUR -  When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?

       ANSWER - I WRITE!!!! (Or read!)

QUESTION FIVE - What did you do growing up that got you into trouble?

       ANSWER - I was just an all-around brat! Nothing really deliberate, I was just a bad kid!

QUESTION SIX -  What story does your family always tell about you?

    ANSWER - When I was little, someone had to watch me at nap time until I fell asleep or I would climb out of my crib!! When I was 3 or 4, I would crawl out the window so I could go jump on the trampoline when no one was watching! 

On another note, two of my AWESOME nephews were over this morning helping their grandpa milk the cows and I'm afraid that even though I'm twenty, I may not always act like it. :(
