Woo Hoo for all, especially buddy, Dee, and it didn't sting a bit to be the "caboose." Congrats to all.

I just read through the top ten again, and I have to say , we have some good writing here at Faithwiters.

My bigger surprise was to see my name on this list.

WOW!

I haven't read any of them, but I hope to soon. And I can't believe my last-minute, barely proofed, entry made the list. What a nice surprise! (I did the last minute thing again this week, but didn't get it finished in time. :( Too bad. It seems time pressure can be a motivator for me, but I hate being rushed. I'll have to pretend the deadline is Wednesday morning.)

Congrats to all on the list and thanks to the judges. I am very excited to be moving up but am also a bit intimidated. The writing in FW's is top notch.

God Bless and thanks again!

Congrats to EVERYONE on all the lists (and who entered--there are some I wish were up there)

--A Great Big WOOP for Bryan!

That's woop meant in a good way. Not like woopty-doo.

And on we go!
