I'm new to your blog, but I love finding other believers in blogland. Since God is my best friend, I'd love to be able to have you on my links list and wonder if you'd like to reciprocate. I'm at http://beadfluff.blogspot.com if you'd like to look. I also thought the two meme were neat.
ReplyDeleteWow...it's interesting to realize that John Quincy Adams died just 20 years before DuBois was born!
ReplyDeleteI wonder...is everyday a holiday(outside of birthdays)somewhere?
1919 and 1954 were significant events to say the least. This is a cool tag. I wouldn't have ever thought of it. I might have to snatch this thing up and tag some other people with it.
