Oh no, Scott, there are two posts in this list with the word "wait." That's just too scary! Ha! I've read Bill's already so I guess I had better check out this other one too. Thanks for another great list.

[Scott Couchenour]

Honored to include, as always :)

[Scott Couchenour]

Jason, yeah I noticed that too (and there wasn't even a one-word blog carnival on the word wait recently). Thanks for the encouragement!

[Krissy]

Wow! Thank you so much! I truly feel blessed by new friends. Thank you!

[Scott Couchenour]

Krissy, it was truly a good post worth sharing. Nice to get to know you thru social media. God bless!

Scott, It's a joy to meet you. I appreciated your visit to Getting Down With Jesus. Let's keep in touch.

No problem, Jennifer. Loved the post on being cross-eyed!
