Millie may be right. I hope Eddie is right. One thing is sure: Whatever happens, God is still in control and He tells us to "write these things so future generations will praise the Lord." So, I'll keep writing and trusting God for whatever form the printed page takes. <br /><br />Merry Christmas everybody! I'm off to wrap some books. Any bows left, Eddie?Elaine W.

I've seen scrolls and papyrus books in museums, and as artifacts from China -- but not really not anyplace else. I've seen ancient hieroglyphs on stones that tell a story, but not any modern ones that I can recall. SO I WONDER. . . . And those last two words remind me of one of my favorite Christmas songs -- so enjoy your paper books while you can and CHRISTmas blessings! :-)Millie Samuelsonhttp://www.milliesbooks.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-16041133302870808282009-12-23T15:31:22.241-05:002009-12-23T15:31:22.241-05:00Eddie,

I can remember as a kid, how I would always value the touch and feel of a Hardcover Book that I received as a gift. To this day, I still have my favorite childhood books neatly stored in a bookcase that I share with my family. I hope that this will help to instill in my children, the value of books, versus a Kindle. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.<br />Happy Holidays to you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655791443988122584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-35361073040338967192009-12-23T15:03:31.552-05:002009-12-23T15:03:31.552-05:00If you were here, Eddie, I'd hug you.

We all see changes coming, but just how big those changes will be is anyone's guess. I guess every change always has people shaking their heads: "The horseless carriage won't ever replace a good old buckboard."<br /><br />Maybe we'll get used to it. Maybe we'll even like it.Lea Ann McCombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674473588707154296noreply@blogger.com
