If you've never read Ann Voskamp's inspiring writing, you're missing out. There is beauty, inspiration, and challenge in every one of her posts where she never fails to point the reader in the direction of the Savior. I wish she were my neighbor...

Thanks for sharing. I think I will start this next week...love the idea. God bless - Holly
I really like this, Alison. My journal is filled with lists like this. :-) Is it an every Monday thing for you?
P.S. I passed your blog addresses onto my mom (avid kintter) and a friend who grew up a block away from Dave (Katie Engstrom - now Kate Chaddic). Hope you don't mind. I thought they would both enjoy them.
