Subject: a note from ~The Giver~...

I just wanted to let everyone know that my postings for the past week have been from my study of the book, The Purpose Driven Life by: Rick Warren. I thought it would be interesting to share with you what God reveals to me. I've read the book several times but felt lead to share it with others. Of course my daily posting are in God's hands so I never really know what I will post one day to the next...so my plan is to dedicate this next month to the book. Please let me know what you think. I appreciate everyone and thank you for allowing me to be part of your day!...Dorenda
