That’s so awesome, Ariah! I went to find Margaret’s name to check up on the status of the loan. She was still about $1,000 in need when I linked her to you earlier tonight…but now she’s GONE from the “in need” list. Loan met in full. Yeah!! Amazing what a few people can do when they put their money and hearts together.
Right on!

That site is really cool. Did I tell you what I’m currently reading right now? I’m doing the American History Challenge, which is to read “A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn (that book will knock your socks off) alongside reading “A Patriots History of the United States.” I’m only a couple hundred pages in each, but it’s really interesting seeing two very different takes on the same history. I’ve already gotten through the section about the Native Americans. I was a little shocked at the brutality that early settlers showed. Anyways, I hope the baby comes soon!
Zach,
That’s really cool, I should maybe try that sometime. Is the Patriots History really a legit history book? It sounds like an angry response to Zinn’s book.
