In you mind put yourself on the western prairie in the summer of 1866. Imagine being asleep at night when you are awaken by the smell of burning weeds. That prairie brush fire smoke would strake fear into your heart. It is impossible to out run the fire. It moves fast as the wind and wide as

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as though just as one problem was solved, a new one
