Well a lady whom I know from a forum posted a link to her list and it got me thinking about how I need to make one too.
This is the link to HER blog list, I believe there is or will soon be a mass list there of others who have taken up the list making.
Want to join me? Post a list on your blog, and then leave me a message or leave one at Psalm 128.
