When you treat others the way you want to be treated, you become a true friend. T. Rex, a tyrannical (ferocious) dinosaur measured approximately 39 feet long and weighed almost seven tons. This dinosaur could bite with more force than any other terrestrial (one that lives on the ground) animal-ever. In addition to featuring 11 dinosaurs plus Pteranodon and Leviathan, Jaxon & Dinosaurs Sharing Time… reminds readers: Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest, it's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you," and proved it." ~ Unknown God did that for you.. for me... for yOur friends He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins so that "Whosoever" believes in Him may have eternal life. ~ John 3:16 As MIchael struggles with writing due to a stroke in his past, he included the following prayer for readers: The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace. ~ Numbers 6:24-26
