Another A-Z challenge completed. This is something I’ve been doing since 2015. I actually dabbled in it in 2014 but was not very successful. It disciplines me to actually take the time to write. I always have full intentions of continuing to write throughout the year, but life seems to get in the way. We all have priorities and each one takes a different precedence over someone else’s concerns. What is important to me is probably not important to you. My cousin Eric writes a newsletter every month about rocks. For the life of me I don’t know what is so special about rocks? click here if you really want to know., But he loves it. I applaud him for all the work he puts into that newsletter every month, even though I don't understand most of what I read.
I enjoy this challenge very much. Every year I get to reconnect with the fellow blogger’s I’ve met over the years. Every once in awhile I'll make a few new friends. It’s like a family reunion online.
This year I stretched myself too far. My theme this year had to do with The Great Commission: “Go and make disciples of all the nations…” FEEDING THE FLOCK 23 was my theme. Check out W-WAKE UP. That’s where my theme idea originated.
I took on more than I should have by opting in to do both blogs. I learned a lot throughout this challenge. I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish. I lost my stepdad on Earth Day and I still had seven days (14 posts) to go. How was I going to function and go to work and post a blog each day? Do you know what God said to me?”…O you of little faith.” If GOD leads you to it, He will see you through it. (praise Lord!)
I was successful at posting to both blogs for every letter. I did slack at visiting others and I apologize for that. I do want to say thank you to those who visited me. Kristin was consistent at leaving a comment on every recipe I posted. ☺ Little comments mean a great deal in bloggy world.
At this time, I don’t have any suggestions about improving the challenge. I liked the graphics and KUDOS to whoever took the time to do them this year. If anyone who is reading this post is interested in volunteering to get your talent out there…click here
Here are the links for each of the posts this year… the food was supposed to go with the devotion but somehow I meandered and got lost along the way. It happens. Hope to see you all next year. And you never know, I might come up with a post here and there. Stay tuned.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss during the challenge. It was ambitious to take on participating with two blogs. Double congratulations for your double play.
Having my posts all done gave me that extra time to go visit and leave comments on blogs that interested me. I enjoyed both of your blogs. And one day I will try some of your recipes!
I appreciate the challenge you took on, and your fun assessment of where it worked and didn't.
