It's nice to meet you, Adam! I saw your friend request (finally) over on ShoutLife and left you a comment on your wall. I thought I'd stop by and see if I could find hints about your upcoming book with Kregel. No cover yet? No blurb? Perhaps I didn't explore your blog thoroughly enough. I'll jump back and surf.
ReplyDeleteMy blog(s) (of which there are many) are mostly on Homeschoolblogger.
Oh, and you were with AWANA? I LOVE AWANA and worked as (in no particular order): sparks leader, sparks director, and commander (not my forte)for 11 years out here in WA state. This year, due to writing and family duties, I had to pull out of the program.
Nice meeting you!
