During Sunday School Class, the topic of a book came up that sounded very intriging.
Case for Christ/Case for Faith Compilation [Kindle Edition]
Lee Strobel
Lee Strobel (www.LeeStrobel.com), with a journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School, was the award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and a spiritual skeptic until 1981. His books include four Gold Medallion winners and the 2005 Christian Book of the Year (coauthored with Garry Poole). He and his wife live in Colorado.
First of all to find out that he was an atheist when he first began was a surprise to me. He only began to investigate due to his wife becoming a Christian. His book has become a movie if you are not patient enough to read a book so look to see if it is available in DVD in your area.
Sorry I am not giving away about the book….read it for yourself and I will say that you will be glad that you did. Just do not expect to get much done around the house as it is one of those can’t put it down books once you start to read it.
Tell us about the last book you read (Why did you choose it? Would you recommend it?).
To go further, write a post based on its subject matter.
Photographers, artists, poets: show us WORDS.
I have had two books sitting on my shelf that I have been reading. For some reason, reading does not come as easy to me now that I am older as it did in my youth.
I read that every month when it comes out as I have students who need new patterns. I also did not include all my cookbooks as they are reference books.
The most intriguiging book that I actually did audio was debated when I was in college and I was in the Literary Guild. I was on the panel and due to the book being auditory I picked up a lot that the basic reader on the panel did not.
The audio version was more indepth and you could feel what the author was getting across by the tones of the voices. I do not kiss and tell so you are on your own to find out details. I am not the person who sits in the room and tells you the ending of the movie before it is over.
My next purchase is to get the two hard cover books on audio. I seem to actually get through books much better that way. Since my kindle died due to being plugged into the wrong outlet, I have to decide what new one I want to get. That will start me on my way to my audio adventure.

Write about your first name: Are you named after someone or something? Are there any stories or associations attached to it? If you had the choice, would you rename yourself?

English names generally consist of a given name, middle name and family name. Many English speaking countries have fairly flexible naming laws. This allows the multicultural families that live in these countries to merge the naming conventions of their faiths or previous nationalities with their current homeland.Biblical names are still very prevelant. Nature, literature, mythology, celebrity, surnames, variants of traditional names and newly invented names are all sources of English given names.
The evolution of English names in the U.K. can be traced to the various conquests and ruling power changes of its early history. The evolution of English names in America has been more influenced by the various influxes of immigrants from different parts of the world during different times in its history. http://www.ourbabynamer.com

At my age it is a little too late to be thinking about changing my name now. I am established and have an identification so there is no need to even think that way now.
During my years in school I would have rather have been called dog or cat. I was called anything but my name due to the odd spelling. People thought it must be pronounced differently so they would go out of their way to call me something else. I was called Sam by the family in my earlier years due to a cousin who had the name Tommy. When we were together we never knew which of us was being called so I became Sam.
In older years, some how, I picked up the nickname Tabitha or Tabby (thanks to Bewitched). It was easier for people. In high school there had been several years where there were a slew of Tammy’s in our class and all of our parents had been creative in the spellings of our names. The teachers went by what street we lived on to reference us when calling on us. I was Tammye from the country. Everyone else lived in the local village so they were the street names.
Perhaps that is why I am so unique today.
My husband’s family all call him Shane or Shaney. His nickname was from the movie Shane. They think it is funny that he actually goes by Emmanuel or Eman here.
It is all in how you accept your name and learn to live with it. It was easier for me to write eymmaT growing up and some people called me Eya. Just don’t call me late for dinner please.
Now that I live in Tennessee I am either known by Tammye Honey or by Miss Tammye. That is the proper reference to an older woman in the South to add the Miss before the name.
I grew up hearing people sing to me the same song all the time.
What is special about your name?
If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
Would love to hear all about it so leave me a comment.
