I'll be in touch with you, soon. If you don't hear from me, please send your mailing address to the email address in my sidebar by Friday morning.

In the contest rules, I asked everyone to answer this question: Do you think it's harder to maintain faith in the face of personal tragedy or simply when surrounded by those who don't believe in God?

The answers were pretty mixed. 6 people said it's harder maintaining faith in the face of personal tragedy, 2 said it's harder maintaining faith when surrounded by nonbelievers, 2 said "neither" and one said "both". Which, I suppose, just goes to show that we're all different but many of us do get a little wobbly when something bad happens to us personally. Many thanks to those who entered and answered the question. I always enjoy reading your answers! And, congrats to the winners!!
