A beautiful story that reminds us to shine brightly in this dark world, pointing many believers to God's light. I loved how you wrote about true people. It really is inspiring. And encouraging. No matter how dark things get, light can always be found if one looks for it—or better yet, if one becomes a light himself.
They would be honored by this tribute.

Well done on this beautifuly constructed story with a real life angle to it. Your enthusiasm comes through - a well deserved win. (notwithstanding that the accolade is from a somewhat biased husband!)
Every week I am the first one to see the highest rankings, but this week I missed it!!!! Because there was no 'hinting' I thought the results would be out later. What a wonderful surprise and congratulations from (also biased) your biggest fan!!
