Signatures
What is a signature? Is it only your name or is something else? We all learned to print then write in cursive our names early in our education whatever year that happened to be. To me a signature could be just a mark on a page like the image above. Remember the phrase 'X' marks the spot. That is a signature of sorts. One just has to learn who they are name wise and mark their 'X' in some way artistically, educationally, socially and even spiritually.

What is anniversary generally? It is a yearly happening for some past celebration that has occurred like a wedding or yes even a funeral sad to say when some would say it is the anniversary of losing a particular family member, but it is more of re-celebrating an occasion usually the wedding.

Easter acrostic
What is the season of Easter? To me it is the season of wishes and hopes for all times. We all know that this holiday is about they Lord Jesus and what he did for us. It is also a day of fun for the very young child and visions of the Easter bunny hiding decorated eggs and hiding baskets with all sort of goodies inside, but

Capitalism
This is a new series for me which by the title of this one will be known as 'Economics Acrostics'. What is economics? We have at one time or another have studied the basics of this subject in high school and some have moved on to major in this area in college and graduate school and have it become their profession and now call themselves 'economists'. This first acrostic is titled 'Capitalism'.

Big Sky a novel
'Big Sky' a novel written by the British author Kate Atkinson is a crime novel that seems to me several small cases entwined with one big case. There are many characters who are all intertwined with each other. There's Katja and Nadja; Mark Price; Nathan; Gary; Vincent; Reggie and Ronnie and a few others. It is a story of sex trafficking, as well as how family relationships can change over time. This is a good story, but it does go back and forth a lot with the story and stories. The short chapters made this a quick read though for I read it in two days. The book cover is done well and gives the reader a sense of the the locations of the story.

Creation, Exodus, and Adam and Eve
In these critiques using 'The Book of Mormon' and starting from the beginning there were points that reminded me of the Creation as well as the Exodus story as we know the families go into the Wilderness. In Chapter Six of 'Nephi' "Therefore let us go; let us be strong like unto Moses", and I am thinking this is the same Moses that I learned about. "After he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided hither and thither, and our fathers came out of captivity, and on dry ground, and the armies of Pharaoh did follow and did drown in the waters of the Red Sea."
