Congratulations to Phoebe, who has posted our 65,000th comment and thus won our current comment contest!
Phoebe, you get to pick your prize–either a paddle ball toy, or an autographed copy of my book, His Mercy Endureth Forever. If you pick the fli-back, it’s guaranteed your cat will someday make the little rubber ball disappear. But whatever you choose, please email me your mailing address.
Several readers came close to winning at the last minute–we had kind of a photo finish.
Now, then, if I can ever get this blog’s viewership numbers back to normal, I think we’ll have another contest when we approach 70,000 comments.
Thanks to all of you who’ve stuck with us.
Wow! Congratulations to you, Phoebe!! 🥳
YIPPEEEE!!!! But I’m gnawing my knuckles over whether I should accept the prize or pass it on to the 65,001st commenter, since this is my third win in a comment contest. Oh gosh, this is hard. I want to be noble, but I also would love to have a paddle ball again after all these years — especially one with Lee’s and Byron’s signatures on it. Oh gee, golly gosh….
Well, that burst of nobility lasted about a minute. I’m going to use the excuse that since I’ve won two books in the past, a paddle ball is actually a first win of its kind. Lee, I’ll email you my mailing address. Unless, of course, I have another attack of nobility before then. Oh gee golly gosh. 🙂
I await your decision.
Arghhh, I’ve decided to be noble after all. Just winning is fun enough, but considering that the contest was such a photo finish, I’ll let the next runner take the prize. (Sniff.)
But if he or she chooses the book, will you still save the fli-back for the next contest? Maybe my nobility will go away by then. 😉
Wow, congratulations, Phoebe. You did it! Enjoy!
Well done Phoebe.
Congrats Phoebe!
