This is a picture of my desktop: You may think, “That’s a lot of stuff.” In reality, it’s not enough. I have a LifeWay writing deadline today and I got to pick up the pace. I am writing curriculum for their “I (Still) Do” series to come out in May 2010. The learner guide deadline is today. The leader guide …
