Since the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, everyone was coming up with different challenges over at Facebook -- Top 10 Books challenge, Top 10 Movies challenge etc. The premise is you provide your list and then challenge other people to share theirs.
My favorite so far is the Life Verse Challenge where you share your favorite Bible passage or your life verse. I'm sharing with you my list of favorite verses. The first one is on top of my list; those succeeding iy are in no particular order.
