Margie's Messages Family Challenge

The Family History Challenges Continue ...

The weekly Westra Family History challenge to end March wasn't going to FamilySearch.Org this time, but to another website. Margie'sMessages. This is a site that Mom/Margie started to provide good resources on many topics. It's been a labor of love over the last many years.  Chris has been helping, reworking the site and adding info. Mom wanted to make sure the grandkids knew about the site, so that was this week's challenge.

Chris sent out the following ... Grandma and I have spent a LOT of time building out her Margie's Messages Gospel Topics website at https://www.margiesmessages.com/ Her website is in the top one percent of the top one percent of ALL websites in the world, getting an average of 134 visitors each day, and 53 first time visitors each day. But, she wants YOU to know where her site is, and how to use it. So, today's challenge is to send the following three items back to me.

1. Look through the list of topics and then let me know how many topics we have on the page right now.
2. What topic could you use a message from right now? Media? Motivation? Prayer?
3. Look through the image quotes at the bottom of that topic page (once you click into it), and send your favorite one to me. 

Here is mine,  from the Attitude topic. 

As usual, the speediest reply will get an extra reward. Kadan won last time. We also have an extra reward if you suggest a new topic that we end up using (note, Grandma is picky about this as she emphasizes quality pages, not just quantity). So we welcome all suggestions, but for the reward Grandma has to agree that it is different enough from current topics to warrant adding it. The goal of this challenge is to help you be aware of Margie's Messages so you can use it for help, inspiration, and talk preparation. Do share it with your friends also!

You can see the submissions above. While the names are included in some of the screen shots, they are not there for all of them. You can check out the original screenshots, labeled with names. They are in the family Dropbox, under the year 2021, Family History challenges.

Chris let Mom know afterward ...  I wasn't too particular about the number of topics - so that was my mistake because people got caught up trying to get the exact number. I should have worded it better. So Mom, you can see what topics they chose and also see the additional topic ideas. Let me know what you think. Janika has two screenshots below because she followed up on her idea for LGBTQ topic. Jaiden won the speed award - she wasn't going to lose out again - she barely beat Rella and Jenna by only a couple minutes.

Ironically, notice Jaiden's favorite image quote ... 

"so think big and motivate yourself to win".  She won!

A new topic that I thought of was anxiety. Grandma already has mental health, but anxiety is such a huge issue right now, that I think it would warrant a separate topic.
