I read it years ago and think about it often.<br /><br />Tana, Aha, trackerjackers! ;) How cool your uncle was a beekeeper.<br /><br />Stacy, Isn't that so true. Easier to get more done that way...the kinds of things that will matter.<br /><br />Keli, I know those roads all too well. Don't need a GPS around those streets.<br /><br />Katie, I laugh at God sometimes (well, actually with Him) and ask Him how much He really thinks I can learn at one time.<br /><br />Jennifer, My mom just finished Little Bee...said it was good, but sad. We read so many of the same books.<br /><br />Hey Susan, I feel like I'm the queen of distraction sometimes. It's part of the curse of being good at multi-tasking.<br /><br />Tamika, I feel you on that one. Lord, I pray that you shower Tamika with calming, peaceful thoughts of you and your love.<br /><br />Shopgirl, I got that from the Bible, but I wouldn't doubt it's a Beth Moore study. I've done about eight of her studies--phenomenal! Wondering which one you are talking about.<br /><br />Missing some of the regulars today. Maybe you were all buzzin' around doing other things. ;) I'm bad. Anyway, I'm bathing in God's hope and His promises.<br /><br />And I'm hoping the same for you.<br /><br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-79401534505924143042011-03-07T15:49:14.354-08:002011-03-07T15:49:14.354-08:00Thank you for this great reminder of keeping our t...Thank you for this great reminder of keeping our thoughts captive.
