Hello, I have been meaning to send an email. I truly enjoy receiving my daily Morning Word. This is a part of my daily devotional at 6AM. The Book of Proverbs is one of my favorite part of the Bible. It is very difficult to follow because of its strict guidelines but it truly helps builds “discipline.”
I wish I can add this to our Youth Ministry website for our elders and young people to see.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for allowing me to add your site. Will definitely do!
