Yesterday my friend Susan invited me to a scripture challenge on Facebook: Post scripture for the next seven days on my Facebook wall and invite/ challenge two friends to do the same. Instead of calling out two people individually, I’m inviting each and every one of you, my dear readers, to join me in this…
