One more thing to note.

The stories from years ago, I thought about going through each one and editing them and sprucing them up, as I haven't even read them myself in years, but I decided that that would take away the genuineness of my learning process back then.  So I will post them as is and then possibly make comments afterward if I think it calls for it.  There is something really special about our learning process, where we once were to where we are now, as God leads each of us in our own special way that is unique to us as an individual.  It is awesome to think about God's individualized attention and to think about Him seeing the "big" picture as well.  What a infinite God's we serve.
