This is something new for my blog. From time to time, I've been wanting to give you lists you can add to, for a change and for fun. This is the first, and I will keep the same OVER-THE-TOP post at the top position for a week, so people can add to it every day and contributors check back to see what's new. This is a "the more, the better" kind of thing, so please ask other family members, friends, co-workers, fellow church members, and neighbors to send me their grudge things. It'll be interesting to see how many--and varied--we can come up with.
SEND your OVER-THE-TOP items to me at my e-mail address, marghouk@juno.com. Though I've tried with the help of an IT expert to set up direct access for you back and forth to my blog through other channels, I've found the old standard e-mail is the easiest and most foolproof way to reach me.
Blogging for fun as well as faith,
Margaret
