Fever 1793...

Fever 1793, by Laurie Halse Anderson follows the story of Matilda Cook. A young girl growing up in colonial America during the Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic.

I really loved this book, I'll bet most people have heard of it but this was the first time I had ever read it. For some strange reason I happen to really admire historical fiction. I would recommend this novel for anyone who likes this genre.

James 3:10-11

Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water come from the same spring? (NIV)

-- I think we can relate this to being slow to speak. Everyone has trouble holding their tongues. But applied directly to me, is another thing. Specifically to when I actually do speak, because we all know I don’t talk much. But when I do, it’s usually negative. And saying something negative to someone is like making them drink salt water. I’m mostly like this at home, when it’s just me and my siblings. What I think this verse means to me is: When speaking, first, think of what you’re about to say. Is it positive? If so, by all means say it. But if not, think of what salt water tastes like, then hold you’re tongue.
