for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, (Ephesians 5:9)
I’m thrilled about all the fruit Jerry and I are seeing as a result of the Web 2.0 course we are leading. It’s exciting to be able to coach other believers to share their stories, products, and services with the world. We’ve seen people with absolutely no Web 2.0 presence a few months ago begin to soar like eagles.
