Randomness

The book give away has ended so I've removed the photos of the books and the instruction as to how to get one.

Random questions:

 1. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Blue or aqua

 2. Sad or happy movie endings? Happy : )

 3. Favorite Disney princess? Rapunzel, Elsa or Anna, not sure!

 4. Kids or pets? Both. Pets are pets, not kids. Can't send them to college. But I have friends who have given their pets child status.

 5. Dog or cat person? Was a cat person most of my life but am now a dog person. I love having someone greet me at the gate excited to see me.

 6. Kindle or paperback book? Both. Didn't think I'd like a kindle because I don't like reading off of the computer, but you can hold a kindle like a book and have many books available at once. And you can decide you want to read a certain book, but it from amazon and be reading it in under a minute!

28. Plan it or wing it? Depends on the occasion/outing. Sometimes we just take off without knowing where we're going, but other things like our upcoming trip to NYC need to be planned.

29. Quirky habit? Not a habit, but I can't sleep if I'm in contact with another person or pet. So no falling asleep in anyone's arms or with a pet across my face!

30. Best talent? No real talents. Just perseverance.

31. Most unusual thing about you? Five of my kids are adopted. But for those of you reading this blog, that's not unusual at all. I've known most of my life that I was going to adopt.

32. Favorite quote or Scripture? Most of our favorite Scriptures are actually taken out of context. Right now--The Lord has told you what is good,
    and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
    and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

and for this year for some reason this verse has been on my mind--Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6  I've already told one person repeatedly that God's plan for everyone leads to the foot of the cross. He's not listening though.

33. Favorite author, book or genre? Suspense, mostly Christian like Brandilyn Collins and Terri Blackstock but also Mary  Higgins Clark who writes "clean" suspense.

34. One thing you wished you knew how to do? Speak another language. Write fiction!!!! I stink at it.

35. What should be written on your tombstone? She made a difference (that's my goal for life at least)
