Well, we are in a fantastic week of re-airing the best of the Five Word Prayers Daily shows,

and some of our most popular shows of 2018, a lot of them really, came on Fridays with our Friday

5. You guys love the practical stuff. You love the Five Things Lists, and I do too, so it works out

great. Up today is a really important topic, and I was so excited you felt so too by your
