Quiz Time

OK, it's been three years, so it's time for a quiz for both of you who've read through the blog.  Count yourselves as special (or really weird.)

 I've found the top 53 main points (maybe that's why you're the only 2 who've read it) and placed them in this little quiz.  They're from the little yellow highlighting.

Actually I've put them here, in one place, for me to come back to, and remind myself of what's really important since I so easily stray off.  I'll come back to this page to re-immerse, marinate, and meditate on the truths of God.

Fill in the blanks...
