ReplyDeletesomeone had recommended that book, and i loved it. when i read books i always keep a notepad and pen next to me to write down things that strike me. this book had lots. i'm thinking of getting a chalkboard and writing inspirational words and people to pray for on it as a constant, daily reminder
