Wednesday Hodge Podge

Hosted by Joyce.

1. As we begin this brand new month tell us, on a scale of 1-10, where does your life fall in terms of being in 'apple pie order'? Please elaborate. (1=nowhere near it, 10=practically perfect in every way)

We, as a couple are  approximately,  at a 4  due mainly to  the fact that we are  actively engaged in determining what we are going to do about church.. We have lost our pastor,  but the manner in which those in charge are  doing things,  the decisions that they are making and the control they are exercising   has  put us  definitely on the fence of  wondering now if  we will stay.  I  hate to  leave  the church.  Unfortunately, we have  left  several churches in the past for various and I do believe righteous reasons.. We are so unhappy about this situation,  but feel that    we just cannot stay   .. OH, we have  several other very  good reasons.  I hate to leave  the people.   But membership has dwindled down to about 20 in total! We have been a sweet family for  some years,  but    as I consider  the rest of my life.  I have spoken with Lynn about how we really need a solid and    vibrant church.  Until we  make this  final move  we shall be in  a quagmire, I know! 

2. An apple a day keeps the doctor away...are you doing your part?   I do think  apples are very good for  digestion and  therefore   very healthy,  but I do   not necessarily eat one a day! Red or green?   I prefer red and yellow,Sweet or tart? Not too tart!  Ever played the game Apples to Apples?No. Do you like apple pie? If so, ala mode or just gimme the pie? I like it ala mode!   YUM!

3. Tell us about a time recently where you 'upset the apple cart' or the last time someone 'upset your apple cart'? 

 Well, in light of what is going on in church,  it has also  caused friction with some dear friends.   Satan is definitely at work here.  I know our friendship will harbor the storm but it isn't fun dealing with this upset Apple cart in the meanwhile!

4. What are three words that come to mind when you think of September?  School,  Johnny Appleseed,  Autumn!

5. What are you most looking forward to this month? Cooler weather, fair sunny days, rides on the Blue Ridge Parkway!

6. Insert your own random thought here.The sky is darkening and the air is extremely heavy.. the deluge is due to start at any time.  We have stocked the pantry  and  I think I will go  and make a pot of yummy soup!
