This was a fun one! As I started digging to see what I could do for Illumination and style, I found out that Symon is a fellow member of the Webministry, on the Kingdom level. Because the idea was a little… “out there” I ran the idea by the submitter, who ran it by Symon’s […]
I was pretty jazzed when I was approached for this one. James “Hawk”, has been a good friend of the family for a while. I was a little surprised that Hawk didn’t already have this award. Reaching out to the point of contact for additional information was a blast. He spun a great tale of […]
