5 Things You Didn’t Know?

Red Rose

I was tagged by E-Mom with the Five-things-you-didn’t-know-about-me meme. This is really hard for me to come up with 5 things, because if you have been reading this blog for a while – there is not much more about me. At least interesting stuff :razz:. But I will give it my best to tell you something new about me…

  1. You know that I like photography — flowers (roses in particular) are my favorite object. You know why? Because I have a hard time taking pictures of moving objects.
  2. My great-grandfather on my father’s side was a ‘traveling’ Lutheran preacher in Germany. I guess that is why I like theology so much – maybe?
  3. I took four in-depth theology courses (Lutheran perspective) on-line and I very much enjoyed it. I actually aced all the classes and my profs were happy about that :).
  4. I get sometimes panic attacks while driven — especially when it is dark. I know — not a good thing, just can’t help it. If I get them, I have to pull over and just relax for a few minutes. I usually pray The Lord’s Prayer during that time…
  5. My grandfather (who died after the 2nd World War as a prisoner in Russia) spoke 7 different languages. I guess that is why our son has a neck knack (thanks E-mom :smile:) for languages. I only know 2 and hoping to add a 3rd one to my ‘repertoire’ – Italian. Our son gave me software a while back, so I can learn it. Not sure if anything else fits in this old noggin though…

Actually as I was typing the ‘unknown facts’ about me, more popped into my head. But I keep them to myself for now. Who knows? Maybe I get tagged again…Or did you know all the above facts?

Okay – I suppose to tag others with the meme, but every time I do, others don’t play…Well, maybe I can try it with some people I would like to know more about, like Sissy, Laurel, Cyndi, Heather, Darlene and Christie? Are you ladies in? If not — that is okay…I understand.

Well, E-Mom, did you learn anything new? I hope I didn’t bore you too much. As I mentioned – I am not a very interesting person :smile:…

I hope to see some of you tomorrow over at Laced with Grace. Blessings on your Sunday evening and as always…

Laptop

Well, I am giving you a double-dose today…

The laptop is what I have constantly on. Although I have a regular PC (mostly for my photo editing), I like to work on the laptop. I can carry it around the house (okay – not allowed in the bedroom though :wink:) so I can keep up with you all…

AND I love my Firefox browser — not only has it tabbed browsing (yeah – I know – IE has it now too) – as you can see it has colorful tabs. That way, I don’t miss my spot :grin:…

Have a wonderful Saturday and as always…

New Thankful Thursday Hostess

Chrixean, our current/former hostess, just had a baby and is really busy with her business. She had asked me if I would be interested in hosting Thankful Thursday for the time being (or always – we are not sure yet)…I have prayed and thought about it for almost a week and I am thrilled to announce that I will be your new hostess.

I have checked the blogroll and it is outdated at this point. So, I have added Mr. Linky for you to let me know if you are interested in becoming a regular (doesn’t have to be weekly – but at least twice a month). I will be working on the blogroll this weekend and on getting maybe a new graphic for the weekly meme…

Blessings on your day and as always,

Encourger of the Month ~ Dec’06

“So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”
~ 2 Thessalonians 2:15-17

Sting My Heart Award

Well Ladies, another month is behind us — actually another year. I am wondering what God has in store for us this upcoming year. Do you have hopes and dreams? Wonder where God is leading you?

Oh yes, the Encourager of the month…Let me see…It is getting really hard for me to pick, not because there is a lack of wonderful and encouraging ladies on the Internet. I hardly can keep up with you all…

Okay – I will not babble any longer. She has been on my blogroll for the longest time. Actually she was the first one I had visited when I started blogging in 2005. Many of you know her too and enjoy her closeness to the Lord…Her blog is Windows to My Soul.

Vicki, you have been such an encouragement with your writings. Not only to me, but to many. Your sweet spirit and your encouragement through His Word are sweet to my soul…Thank you for been you. I hope that you will accept my little award…
