Fun Quotes with My Digital Studios!


While previewing the Bible Study videos for the next couple of weeks, Beth Moore said the above quote, and I loved it ( she also added..."Now you can put that in your spiritual bank")! I thought, I can make a simple quote block with MDS. So I did!


Quote is from "Faithful Abundant True" Bible study.
