It doesn't need to be the boring, "This happened at this time and then this happened at another time," stuff. It's stories after all. It should be written that way. We remember things better when they fit into a narrative instead of a list of facts.<br /><br />You're right, Earl. Too often we feel like we are living in the worst of times and there is no hope for us. Knowing history reminds us that we've gotten through some pretty bad situations. Likewise, when we think we're living in the best of times, knowing history shows us that there are things that could be better and we can be encouraged to attempt to improve the things that are wrong.<br />JEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07538398157297345338noreply@blogger.com
