Lottie Moon
Charlotte Digges "Lottie" Moon (December 12, 1840 – December 24, 1912) was a Southern Baptist missionary to China with the Foreign Mission Board who spent nearly 40 years (1873–1912) living and working in China. As a teacher and evangelist she laid a foundation for traditionally solid support for missions among Baptists in America.
Virginia plantation roots
Moon was born to affluent parents who were staunch Baptists, Anna Maria Barclay and Edward Harris Moon. She grew up (to her full height of 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m), according to one account) on the family's ancestral 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) slave-labor tobacco plantation called Viewmont, near Scottsville, Virginia. Lottie was fourth in a family of five girls and two boys. Lottie was only thirteen when her father died in a riverboat accident.
The Moon family valued education, and at age fourteen Lottie went to school at the Baptist-affiliated Virginia Female Seminary (high school, later Hollins University) and Albemarle Female Institute in Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1861 Moon received one of the first Master of Arts degrees awarded to a woman by a southern institution. She spoke numerous languages: Latin, Greek, French, Italian and Spanish. She was also fluent in reading Hebrew. Later, she would become expert at Chinese.

Lady Moon
by: AxxisA secret place silent as a grave
Oh, what a night I need to be saved
Moonbeams dance they are my guide
The days is lost in the dead of night
And I sat with my back against a cold stone
Waiting for you don't leave me alone
You're my dream my reality
Don't fade away don't hide away from me
Lady Moon you're holding the crown
Save my life before I drown
Queen in black your glory will shine
To the Moon is back for all of time
Let us sail with your ship up to the moon
In the clam of the night out of the blue
As my time runs out like sand through my hand
The nightmares leave at your command
I feel in this night you're close to me
Dance like a shadow now and I set you free
I'm paralyzed love at first sight
Lady Moon so cold so bright
Lady Moon you're holding the crown
Save my life before I drown
Queen in black your glory will shine
To the Moon and back for all of time
Save my life before I drown
Queen in black now you come back
I'm always by your side
Even if we're world's apart
In the heat of the night
You will be mine
Lady Moon you're holding the crown
Save my life before I drown
Queen in black your glory will shine
To the Moon and back for all of time
Lady Moon you're holding the crown of time
Save my life before I drown of time
Queen in black your glory will shine
Flying to the moon and back now
Flying to the moon and back now
To the moon and back
