Charts A,M,N

Only 6 more weeks! Don't give up! Read Galations 6:9 for some encouragement.

This is also a great time to do a temperature check to see if we are where we should be. A great resource for that is page 282  in your Guide. I discovered that I have let the charts slide at home and need to focus on those these last few weeks.
