Thanks for tracking with me as I count a couple thousand of God’s over-countably un-countable gifts of goodness and growth. If you’re wondering why I’m not doing much other blogging – I’m working on a book that will be out on Amazon later this year, DV. I’ll keep you in the loop.
Here are this week’s 39 things:
1015 Murray home tomorrow
1016 Lachlan and Analia McIntosh, at last
