My ABC Bible Verses :: book review
Last Christmas, my brother and sister-in-law sent us an amazon gift card. {side note: I am not a paid advertiser for amazon, but for all the things I link to, I think they should at least send me a candy bar. Or some dried cherries. *ahem*} Anyway, I was pretty excited about my shopping spree via…
