What's going on at Your Word From The Wise?
- I wrote and sent an interview which is being answered this weekend, God willing. The plan is to post it next week. Yay!
- I have three interview topics that I'm in the planning stages on, in addition to those out already. I want to make sure I'm in a place to give them the attention they each deserve before pitching them.
- With two family emergencies this week, I was happy to get posts up every day. I don't remember what else I accomplished. I am thankful that this venture does not rely on my expertise but is accomplished only through God's grace and for His glory. I'm also very grateful for the community of people I've met through it who prayed for us. Thank you!
- Want to join this great group of people? Friend me on Facebook. The downside is you get me, but the upside is the great group of people who are also there!
