Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 I just bought a book by Higgins & Carol Higgins , a Christmas book entitled " He Sees You When You're Sleeping " in which a would-be angel is sent back to earth to help someone at Christmas, and the one he ends up helping is a young girl named Marissa! So far, it's a pretty good book. Hope you continue in remission for a long time. What is your main area of interest in school?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 LoL, my mom has that book, and she told me too. Hmm....the main area of interest in school, hard question. lol I love to write short stories, poetry, etc, so I think that falls under my English 2 class. I also love my Sewing class, and Math, and Bio, except when I have to dissect things or work with liver. I had to do that the other day, I had to leave the room 6 times in like 40 mins. lol Love, Light, and Laughter, Marissa aka Calani > I just bought a book by Higgins & Carol Higgins , a > Christmas book entitled " He Sees You When You're Sleeping " in which a > would-be angel is sent back to earth to help someone at Christmas, > and the one he ends up helping is a young girl named Marissa!
