Back in the early 2000's, our family would go out into the back country and go fly fishing. I took a class on how to cast my line. Just around the corner from my office building is the courthouse.

My BFFAE (Best Friend For All Eternity) said she was reading in Ecclesiastes, so I decided to join her. So you can thank her for what I'm posting today!

My best friend is an inspiration to me, and is also an incredible human being. I am blessed to have her in my life after what seemed to be a “friend drought.” Recently, she got me a Swindoll Study Bible, with my name embossed in gold on the front cover. It is the NLT, which … Continue reading 277 Challenge
