A Random Dozen




December 1, 2009
Random Dozen ::December 1

1. Which Wizard of Oz character are you most like? I always associated with the Scarecrow... I loved his character so much! Such an endearing soul... and I suppose often I do feel rather mindless.

2. When you're deciding what you're going to wear each morning, which item do you select first? Why? I never really thought about it but I alwyas decide on the pants first then go for a top. I have absolutely no idea why!

3. What kind of animal do you think the world could live without?Mosquitoes.. I mean really... what earthly good do they do!?!

4. How many Christmas trees are in your home?The main tree in the living room, the real tree in the sunroom, a small tree in the library.. although we used to have another tree in the rec downstairs, now the room is a real wreck!

5. Would you prefer to be emotionless if it mean you didn't have to feel a heartbreak?

No way... I am a very soulful person and heartbreak has helped to mold me. Praise God for the broken heart... it is that by which we are able thereafter to measure joy.

6. Do you ever experience holiday let-down or depression? Always. I hate taking down the Christmas decorations. It is especially hard now that Amanda and Joshua live so far away and we never know how things may change over the coming year with aging parents etc.

7. Do you like Michael Jackson's music? I always liked his music.. he was a great talent, although a very conflicted soul.

8. Why is it that we never judge people who have their teeth fixed for cosmetic reasons, but every other cosmetic procedure has a stigma?I wouldnt go so far to say every other cosmetic fix has a stigma. I think there are many very worthwhile cosmetic redos which are most valuable. My cosmetic fixup of choice has been lesion removal.. I seem to have a blue million of em... inherited from both sides of the family! I hate them and try to have a dozen or so removed ever so often! Now breast augmentation is ridiculous to me.. however, I know many folks who look into breast reduction. Now that has merit from a physical point of view. But now I have given tmi!

9. Enjoy horseback riding? I love to watch others enjoy the sport... but not for me...

10. Shoes--practical or stylish? I love stylish shoes, but there again... at this stage of my life... I am very practical... to many foot problems!!

11. What was the name of your first pet? Feel free to post a pic. AW!! I had a pure white kitten as a small child. But someone stole it. Its name was Snowball.

12. What percentage of your Christmas shopping is done? I have about 1/3 of my shopping done!

This lovely view out of my studio window never fails to bless me. I love steeples... they point us up to heaven!!!
So here's what's going on in my world lately!
Isnt there a love/hate relationship with one's computer! I love blogging and the sense of communication that is possible online... but when a virus or something interrupts the flow and bogs everything down... it can be so stressful! I am now on Lynn's computer... and it is so different from mine..... it makes everything much more difficult. Something very interesting th0ugh about my computer. I was called to use my computer on November 17th to help establish a 24/7 prayer vigil over a dear saint... and immediately my computer was taken over by the enemy.... I just know that the enemy satan corrupted my unit and he will not let it go. That very day my antivirus updater stopped working. and bammo.... I got a series of viruses which actually finally caused my computer to crash yesterday! I have satan's number. I am praying spiritual warfare over him and his minions. He will not defeat my purposes. I will use the internet to declare the Glory of God and the wonders of Christ! God is at work in the world creating miracles and demonstrating HIs power and love. Our dear saint and friend Doris did have a miraculous healing of her kidneys! The doctors are amazed and God's love is alive and active in the world today just as it was 2000 years ago! Praise God!
Let's all keep looking up... no matter what!!!
