**pRojEcT 52**
Project 52 is a little project that Charlotte and I are taking on this year, 2011. A picture and a verse a week for a year. We didn’t come up with this all on our own… P52 is a group by My3Boybarians and the verse part came from the Living Proof Ministry Blog. Feel free to scroll on through the verses and pictures at your leisure :-) –Chelsea
