So here we are, closing in on the last few days of 2019. I am so excited that God has been gracious and allowed me to remain here on this earth continuing to enjoy life, family and friends. I am excited about the possibility of living to see the year 2020 as well.
That being said, for the last time this year I am sharing the list compiled my fellow author Jared Jackson of special days for each month. Thanks for all the hard work Jared! The fourth item below is especially meaningful to us authors.
