“Or, as a dear pal of the RevGals once advised, whoever you are and wherever God sends you, “Be fierce and fabulous for Jesus.”

“In many ways, being a pastor is simply being a person. A person who shows up, a person who prays, a person who worships, a person who sits at the table during really long council meetings.”

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Julia It seems like you're really going through books more quickly now and you might catch yourself. You could always adjust to 55 if you think that's more realistic with where you are at the 1/2 point.
