Treacherous waters…

What’s something most people don’t understand?
View all responses

Personally, I try to stay away from questions like these… and I’ll tell you why.

I don’t like the idea of making an assumption as to what most people might be thinking, feeling, or even understanding… how should I know what most people don’t understand?! I don’t know most people, in fact, I know very few people on such a personal level that I would feel remotely confident in answering for them.

Anytime that I assume what another thinks and feels, or worse yet, what kind of person they are without first getting to know them… well, it’s like flirting with disaster!

With that said, I’ll pass on this prompt, but not without leaving you some cookies…

I feel more confident in guessing that you’ll want one.

Childproof Ninja…

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

Manufacturers of everything baby safe have made it nearly impossible for adults to open the thing not meant for a baby to touch… you know, pill bottles or doors or packages, etc.

Don’t get me started on those baby gates… sheesh!

Ahhh… the joyful memories of trying to open a door with one of those safety covers, while your arms are full of either laundry or toys or I don’t know… a sleeping baby!

So, yeah… there’s that!

It probably goes further than just childproof stuff, if I’m being fully. Most likely, we’ve probably all dropped food on the floor, at one time or another, due to a failed attempt at opening the wrapper. I know you don’t want to admit it, but you know it’s happened!

So yeah, I want to be skilled in the opening of all things childproof, and I think I’m onto something, in this regard. To be a ninja, one must practice and train constantly, which in turn uses up ones energy, making them hungry, right!? What if we put superfood for the brain into our favorite meals and snacks? I’ve already begun field testing, but I could sure use some outside opinions, just to be sure that I’m on the right track.

Here, try one of these magic safety cookies…

Let me know if they work, or if there are any side effects to make note of, like itchy feet… not that there’s anything to be concerned about, at least, I don’t think so.

What do you wish you could do more every day?

Seriously, if I could spend all of my waking hours simply writing and telling stories for others… I would do it in a heartbeat!

I think that I was born to write, regardless of whether it ever goes anywhere, career wise. For me, the value isn’t in the paper that the book might be printed on. When I live by God’s daily provision, I don’t feel the pressure to make it big in the dollar department. My desire is to collect hearts and minds for my Creator, over the accumulation of worldly goods. Now that I’ve given you that goofy disclaimer about my motives, I’m hoping you’re following my line of thinking when I use writing as my answer to the prompt.

Every day, I do an immense amount of several things, talking being one of the biggest. I pray/talk to God, sing, and wear my poor husbands ears out with all my chatty antics. I read all the time, and yes, I write… a lot! But what I don’t get to do nearly enough is give all those writings a voice… you know, read them out loud to kids. Is it selfish to wish for laughter, smiles and happy hearts when I read my stories to little ones… maybe it is. But when the result is love for all involved, how can that be so bad.

Since God hasn’t told me otherwise, Imma just keep writing and weaving dreams, like I’ve been doing. Bur if I get a chance to do it more than I’m already doing, I won’t be wasting any chances to do it… just sayin!

Take an extra cookie today,

I made more than I normally do.

What, no boat?

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
View all responses

“I’ve been everywhere, folks, I’ve been everywhere” should be stamped across my story somewhere, honestly!

If I could cross this beautiful nation any way that I wanted to… I’d go by boat!

Seriously, think about it for a second. Take all the lazy rivers, the rapids, as well as the big wide busy waterways across the country. Sure, you’d have to make use of taxi’s or buses to get from one to the other, as you made your way from one water source to another… but it would be worth it! Think of how many places you could see, visit, and experience along the way. What might be around the next bend in the river, you know?!

Sure, it would probably take half a year, a ton of money, planning and all that… but still.

Here’s a cookie for the road… or river… oh, bother, you know what I mean…

Cling…

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
View all responses

Cling to hope

Cling to faith

Cling to scripture… His truths

Cling to the One who carries me through the darkness

When you are blind, you cling to the hands that hold and guide you

When you are deaf, you cling to whomever can hear what you cannot

When you are paralyzed, you cling to the trust you must put into the hands that carry you

When you are lost, you cling to the memories of where you last saw the path

When there is nothing but darkness, you must cling to the belief that the light is there… even if you cannot see it

Cling… cling to the One who died for you, the one you know is there with you in the darkness… even if you cannot see Him

I cannot make you cookies today because I am simply clinging… it’s all I got right now

Well…

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

I’m sort of like miss Tilly, but won’t tell you why

I’m a bit like Lilly the ant, if you look deep into her eyes

Then there’s Dinky or Boomer, Bailey, Ozzy or Squagon

And don’t get me started about our mysterious dragon

Long story short, I’ve too long of a list

I simply must stop here… Eustace insists!

Maybe it’s just me, but those French Toast sticks from Burger King… amazing! Granted, I’ve been sicker than a dog for nearly a week now, mostly surviving on crackers, but still.

It was like eating these pillowy soft, yet crispy, sticks of yummy bread… sooooo good! If you’ve never tried them, you should.

In honor of this mornings breakfast, I bring you some special cookies…

What a peculiar question…

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

Words have never been the problem, actually. I’m betting pretty high numbers that the problem with words is, well, operator error… just sayin!
