(Which was REALLY difficult at Easter and Halloween) and also from Facebook. I intended on getting back on FB this summer, but I have changed my intentions and will not be.<br />Good for you for obeying the Holy Spirit's conviction.mrsmarkdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521454731301268239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392953914136595057.post-54899412623953861572011-01-10T11:13:06.171-06:002011-01-10T11:13:06.171-06:00Stephanie - Thanks for the encouragement!
