"At the beginning of his gospel, Luke writes that he recorded the events of Jesus' life because he believed it was important to have an eyewitness account."

If you could write a book about something that you witnessed, what event would you record? What would you call your book?

I would write about everyday life with my family and kids. So many funny things happen and events that could help other families. I really feel that so many young parents are alone, and feel cut off and alienated from others, mostly due to everyone working and moving all over the country. I would call it something like "Confessions of a Normal Family"!!!!!

I like your idea! I also think there needs to be a book or really movie, more people watch movies, about discipling your child-normally with the love of God. I hate watching t.v.,you see children either getting beat or getting by with it. It seems there is no middle ground out there any more. And people wonder why are children are turning out the way they are!!(Not ours--there's!!).God BLess

My book would be "The Funny Things My Chihuahuas Do" I never, never, NEVER thought I would be attached to a dog, let alone one that looks like an anorexic rat! :) Actually, one is quite chubby. Anyway.... I was there when Maggie was born (my first puppy) and I bottle fed her because she was the runt. We bonded! The first snowfall after we had her, she didn't want to go down the back steps to go potty, but I wouldn't let her in. She sat there on the top step looking at me with pitiful eyes for about 2 minutes. I kept saying "Go potty" so she turned her back to me and promptly peed on the top step! She looked at me as if to say "You happy now?" I let her in right away!
