Weekly Challenge: I am eager to see how many people were consistent in praying for their classmates last week.  It was a good week discipline wise and I am looking forward to another week! After watching the movie, “Gifted Hands” I hope you were inspired to read even more than you already do.  The challenge this week is to read for 20 minutes before bed every night.   Just like any skill, the more you read, the better you will get, and the easier it becomes.  You can do it!
