History Pages on Squidoo
Posted by Lorren on August 8, 2009
I’ve been doing some work on Squidoo lately, and it looks like I might make a little more money this month than I did last month. My Survivor Samoa lens is doing well, even though the season hasn’t started. I’ve created a few travel-related sites from my recent vacation, but I’m still working [...]
When Rome Fell
Posted by Lorren on November 12, 2008
It’s not really a secret that America has a lot in common with ancient Rome. We’re a powerful country with influence that spreads far and wide, we both started off in a representational democracy (well, America still technically is), and our latter years have been marked with a moral decline, citizens trying to vote [...]

My daughter is learning about the early United States, and today we talked about an event that happened across the ocean at around the time that George Washington was being inaugurated as President… The French Revolution.

I figure, if [...]
All Is Vanity…

I was reading through Ecclesiastes 1-3, and I just have a few thoughts from that. This book was written by Solomon, the wisest man to have ever lived… but also someone who didn’t live using all the wisdom he had for much of his life.
What we have on this Earth is only temporary. [...]
“Put On A Sweater” – 21st Century Style
Posted by Lorren on August 2, 2008
Barak Obama has a really good idea for saving you money at the gas pump… “put air in your tires and get regular tune-ups“.
Wow, I didn’t know he was so smart! Is that going to effectively bring my price per gallon of gas to $2 a gallon again? Gas is a little less [...]
