What???? Are you kidding me??? Verse 21?!?
We’re just four verses from the finish line, Sisters! To God’s great glory, we’re doing this thing! I grinned from ear to ear two weeks ago when someone posted “Jesus wept” as her verse. That’s fair game! All of us could use a little catch from time to time. You guys bring me so much joy. May God cause His love and power to explode within you because you’ve worked so hard and fought so many distractions to get to this point.
OK, Girlfriends, here’s mine:

Beth, this is totally off the subject of your post and for that I am deeply sorry but I had to, had to share that I loved your story about your grandson having a troll. He is clearly at the top of the Most Wonderful Grandboy list (possibly with some company but certainly he is there). How precious, I love it when you share about your precious family.
Warm regards and blessings – Jennifer
