I know, embarrassing right? Facepalm-ish.

Tell us what you think your mom would share with us and you will be entered to win O Me of Little Faith: True Confessions of a Spiritual Weakling (Paperback) by Jason Boyett. We will draw names and pick a winner by Memorial Day, May 31, 2010.

Rob Bell’s Drops Like Stars tour hits the West Coast in less than two weeks.

To enter our giveaway, all you need to do is tell us your favorite date spot -or- the most romantic thing you’ve ever done (or someone has done for you) for Valentine’s Day. A specific restaurant, a dinner theater, a concert, the beach, whatever. It’s that easy.

And the winners are…
Beth, Anthony, and MJ
We’ll email you with more information.
Thanks for your comments!
