Bacon.<br /><br />Thanks, Karl, for a wonderful week on Everyone's Story. Many viewers from around the world have visited with you. And from the moving testimonies shared here I can tell that you've stirred many hearts about the importance of glorifying God by honoring history. This week, as we've seen yet another significant horror unfold on American soil, with fears stoked, I can only hope that we turn our trust to God. We must never forget what happened during the yesterdays, whether on 9-11, the killing of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Civil War, or the American Revolutionary War. So, heartfelt thanks, Karl, for capturing an important part of American--and world--history.<br /><br />Thanks too for the Book Giveaway of AN EYE FOR GLORY. And the winner of this Karl's novel is...<br /><br />Chris! Congratulations, Chris. Both Karl and I will contact you shortly.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-78678941644807133582013-04-17T00:54:17.475-07:002013-04-17T00:54:17.475-07:00Nancee, and I thank you for your visit and sweet w...Nancee, and I thank you for your visit and sweet words.

There were several times, because of the at times soul-wrenching nature of the writing, that I thought I no words left in me, but the Holy Spirit kept driving me back to it. The story would be completed in spite of my weakness.

We all have special stories to tell, and like you, I believe that God wants us to share these stories to encourage one another and to show that as unique as we are, we have common threads that unite us. I hope this common denominator is our love of God. And isn't it nothing short of awesome to know that God loves each one of us and our individual stories?<br /><br />Hope to see you again.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-76934571431019308262013-04-13T22:23:50.240-07:002013-04-13T22:23:50.240-07:00I have never thought of myself as a writer until I...I have never thought of myself as a writer until I finally understood that it was God prompting me to write my stories.

This is coming from a guy who was labeled a special education student in school, and now a special education and history teacher. God just worked his miraculous wonders in my life to make that all possible. As an educator of history, naturally I am a huge fan of historical fiction and nonfiction. I cannot wait to read your book "An Eye for Glory" since I recently went through all of those same struggles while fulfilling Gods will in my life by returning to school full time, working full time, and with a wife and three kids at home. Thanks for reminding me about how all things are possible with God and that His will will be done.<br /><br />Your Brother in Christ,<br />Chris Mason<br />crmason0525@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653660738941331316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-11898285306646119662013-04-13T05:38:45.460-07:002013-04-13T05:38:45.460-07:00Ian, thanks for the sweet words--you know you just...Ian, thanks for the sweet words--you know you just made my day, right?<br /><br />I hear what you say about the Lincoln Memorial (a site I visited on a Jr. High class trip).

When I visited Gettysburg a few years ago all I could think of was how massive an area it was, and how peaceful, and then tried to imagine all the fighting that took place there, on the same ground I was standing on.
