light snacks and refreshing beverages like tea (hot and cold) lemonade, and water.

I think once or twice. . somewhere ;) I am giddy with excitement. .and possibilities. I can't wait to see what happens. What kind of a story is the Author and Finisher of our faith going to make out of this adventure?

WayneThomasBatson said...

I'm guessing, based on HIS track record, that it'll be a bestseller. ;-)

I'm thinking too there'll be some action, some adventure, some surprises, heroes popping up in the most unlikely of forms, and amazement of all kinds. Oh, and the most delightful things that happen will pierce so close to the marrow that you won't be able to talk about them without tearing up and feeling the joy swell in your chest so you think you're ribs will crack from the pressure. ;)

This sounds like great fun (and just a bit of work)!
