are you sure you want to start now? the challenge sure is In your face there on the screen… Perhaps you should set up a challenge for all us readers here to allow for the slow and fast readers in us all.

Hey Jodi
I wanted to touch base and thank you so much for your blogs…… you are quite an awesome writer, author, inspirationalist, wife, mum, daughter in law, etc etc etc and of course a friend to many! Hugs all round!
When I feel a bit dreary you always have something great to read.
When I feel like I am needing to get back to my quiet times, you put up a chronological list of the Bible books….
When I feel a bit crazy, you share something deep and earthy to bring me back to reality….
Guess that’s why God gives us friends…. To help us along our walk…
So thanks loads
Lynette
