Where will you spend it? Today’s devotion also lead to reading about Arthur Stace, Mr. Eternity. I highly recommend giving it a read. And as things do on the web it lead to a look at Copperplate Script which lead to a calligraphy course which I might try.

Today’s verse of the day devotion in the YouVersion bible app prompted me to remember. The verse had this as the question. I related to the last answer in the list.
