Horses Make Me Laugh is a journal that has been lovingly designed to put a big smile or your face and joy in your heart.  I have created this journal because I am a lifelong horse enthusiast and love a good laugh.  For those of you who enjoy reading a good book and writing down your thoughts and plans, this journal is the perfect fit for you.  It is said that laughter is good for the soul, so I encourage you to open up this journal and let the smiles begin.If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know the person, don’t bother analyzing their ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, or seeing how much they are moved by noble ideas; you’ll get better results if you just watch them laugh. If they laugh well, they are good people… All I claim to know is that laughter is the most reliable gauge of human nature. Feodor Dostoyevsky

These are real persons hence their real names, you may note also in one of my stories entitled Two Living Example of Moral Goodness I have Praised Mr. Miles T. Nixon am ex-slaves who out of a noble and kind heart shared with me much of his knowledge of antique customs especially in that of the marring of slaves and his first- hand knowledge On the origin of dolls though only a story as is also the one on Grandma Charlotte On Mother's Day. But not without their moral significance values which if lost will lessen a sense few personal. Responsibility for conscientious Christian living thus letting down the bars for paganism then what will follow one does not have to make a wild fuss for as a matter of fact there will be. Visible spiritual darkness and for many of us our Paradise will be lost, The world will soon to ruin go the sun forbear to shine but Christ who calls me here below shall be forever mine.
