  1. Hi Rene.
    I am from Fall River. Massachusetts and I’m 68.
    I am a Women’s Ministry leader at my church in Warren, R.I.. We meet once a month on Tuesday night.
    Last night , I shared some of chapter 1 from your book. It was so good to share something fresh. We also meet every Thursday morning. Right now, we are going through the Made to Crave study.
    Besides Women’s Ministry, I like to knit, read and study the Word.
    I love your study and hope that another will be forthcoming when this one is done.
    Have a truly blessed day.
    Jackie

    • Hi Myrtice, I love to read my Bible outside too. Helps me feel close to the Lord also. I live in rural Oregon, so right now it is too cold/rainy for that but when the warm days come, I take my Bible & a cup of coffee or tea to my porch swing, and enjoy the presence of the Lord. God bless you Dear.
