I have been discussing with a friend God's Goodness, and how he gives His goodness so freely to us. It inspired me to have a contest. I want to know how God has been good to you. How has He blessed you? How has His goodness affected your life? I am looking forward to some uplifting poetry which I am in need of reading. Bless you, Sandy

great contest!
we studied this topic (God's goodness) in our Bible study meeting at my church recently, it's a wonderful thing for one's mind to dwell on.
I wish you many great entries!
