NAHUM
This little book was written about 630 years before the arrival of Jesus Christ on earth and roughly 20 years before the complete destruction of Nineveh.
The focus of the book is on the coming destruction of Nineveh and the goodness of God. The destruction occurred as predicted, even to the extent of the walls being breached by water.
The destruction of this large city was so complete that a couple of centuries later there was no evidence that it ever existed. Luckily, about 1820 it was rediscovered and meaningful excavation followed.

LINDEN'S LIFE
I got a haircut and picked up my mail at the post office. Then, called the nurse at the cardiologist office and left her a message: Brian called later to ensure that I had made that call. Julie called later and I also exchanged a few words with Jade. Love to hear from my kids.
I first became aware of the words to the hymn linked above a few years ago as I was reviewing a “memories” folder that had belonged to the mother of a friend of mine. The words were printed on a yellowed old newspaper clipping. I liked the words so much that I used most of the words of that poem to compose a song and later found that another composer had already put this song together. Think he did better than me! I discarded my effort.

WRITING AND PUBLISHING. Contact me at lswift8@aol.com to request information relative to ordering any of my eight books and one CD.
REACHING OUT. I normally contribute modestly in a number of areas. Now I also contribute a portion of book sales income to new or enhanced areas of support. I also accept contributions for this effort. I was so pleased with the 2009 results that I’m expanding the effort in 2010. New or expanded recipients in 2010 include:
