Just updated the list for the last four weeks, although there will be another winner to add to the list tomorrow. We're almost at the halfway point on the way to the 2008 Best of the Best awards.

And almost half of the half contain the name JAN.

Has anyone else noticed this? :D

Could Jan be this year's Ken? (Only a much more feminine one, of course)

:P

Yes, she does kind of pop up a bit in the 1st place spot, doesn't she? The thing with Jan is you can't really pigeon-hole her writing. She can bring you to tears or laughter just as easily.

Mind you, a certain lady with "y" in her name is in there a couple of times as well, and I'm sure they won't be the only times. Pretty impressive when you consider that this certain Lynda (with a "y") hasn't been entering every week.

Love, Deb

My hats off to all of you. Congrats and may each of you keep being in tune to the Holy Spirit as He is using all of you mightily. To those of us who didn't make it this year let's keep the faith and keep plugging away you guys.:0) We'll make it one day too. I know it was very hard to probably narrow it down Deb, as so many people have written awesome entries. Hugs to all of you. Keep on writin'...Love, Janice
