1. We've reached edition number 315 here in the Wednesday Hodgepodge. So tell us, what were you doing at 3:15 yesterday? Is that typical? On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being low and 10 being high) what's your energy level usually like at 3:15 PM?
Yesterday at 3:15 was a bit out of the norm. We were entering the parking lot that probably registered 100 degrees. We had been sitting in church for an hour for a very sad funeral... the church was full and everyone was in a state of most unusual lament for the young man who had recently stepped in to heaven at a much too young of age.. leaving his family behind. The heat outside sapped me of all remaining energy and since we had skipped lunch I was imploring Hubs to stop and let's go ahead, and have an early dinner. Praise God we did...
My usual energy leave at 3:15 has always been my all time low. level -1.. I'm not a usual afternoon napper.. but if I perchance lay down to watch something on TV I invariably will take a power nap...
2. A Frisbee, a tantrum, a towel, a party, a punch, or a curve ball...which have you most recently thrown or had thrown at/for you? Elaborate.
Haha, I had to think then sure it hit me.... a towel... over the weekend, a pesky fly had gotten in the house and we don't have a fly swatter, so Hubs threw a towel at me to use in my defense from the fly...
3. What are three things that would help you right now. Tell us how or why.
A phone call from our daughter....her presence always brightens the atmosphere
Resolution of a touchy situation between friends that was created by spiritual warfare as we were working in the service of the Lord... so difficult to deal with ungodly offenses and damaged feelings. I have tried to mediate, but little improvement.
Strength to tackle one more room of moving every thing out, to remove old glued down carpeting repair floors and wait with the horrendous smell of cleaner and finishing, then re decorate the room..Praise God it is the last room upstairs to tackle... our room.... and then bless the Lord.... it will all be finished!!! We start today!
4. Do you think you're strong? Why or why not? What makes you strong?
I am only strong in the Lord by the power of His spirit.. I allow Him to lead me sometimes where angels dare to tread, honestly...I will take on those hard one on one discussions that need to be said with love but with heart wrenching truth and attempt to clear the air and allow the God's truth penetrate darkness and begin a healing work.
"The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in Him and He helps me."
Ps. 28:7
5. Do you enjoy reading historical fiction? What's your favorite book set sometime in the past?
Yes, I love historical time travel novels by Lynn Kurland... Adventurous love stories, but without the lusty factor... They will transport me when I need to escape!He books run along a couple of fictional Scottish and English families through the generations during the 13-15th centuries... I love the medieval era. The inspiration for these families are
Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, England and
Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye.
6. Insert your own random thought here.I probably would not go to see Dunkirk.. firstly, Hubs has given up on anything that comes out of Hollywood and refuses to go to movies, although he loves WWII films... Saving Private Ryan was his last film to go see, but I didn't go.. It is too intense for me. Our daughter gave him the box set of the Band of Brothers and he loves those... I don't watch... I hate the realities of war, but am very patriotic and love our veterans who put it all on the line for our country... and it angers me to see people who enjoy our rights and freedoms here but vilify our military.
