12 things.

This seems fun to do.  And in the interest of finding more out about who I am, I thought I'd do it.
12 things you may or may not know about me. 
Here we go.

1. I am so happy it's Friday.  And not just any Friday.  MEMORIAL WEEKEND FRIDAY! That means swimming! (hopefully) 
2. I love swimming. 
3. I've never had surgery or been under anesthesia.
4.  Warm, cloudy, rainy-days-that-end-in-thunderstorms are my favorite kind.
5. Planting seeds and watching a plant grow over the course of time is exciting to me.
6.  I have naturally curly hair but nobody else in my immediate family does.
7. I like reading but it has to be the right book and I have to be in the right mood. Otherwise, it can take me a very looonnnggggg time to get through a book. One of my favorite parts about reading though, is finishing a book and adding it to my (I like calling it this because it seems ironic, but not in the literary sense of the word) "Done Been Read" log . Which leads me to the next...
8.  I greatly enjoy crossing things off of to-do lists.
9.  I lived in Asia for 10 years and I speak the language fluently.
10. My middle name is rose.
11. I have freckles year-round.
12. I didn't care for chocolate until I tasted dark chocolate. I'm hungry for some just writing about it.

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

How do you feel about that?

Like I got hit by a truck.  Like a cement block got dropped on my entire body.  Like the wind was knocked out of me.  Like a deer in the headlights.  Like I got slapped and at first it was numb and now it stings. But. . . "In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.  These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."   1 Peter 1:6-7 It's worth it.

From desiringGod Blog

From a blog I follow called  desiringGod .  The whole website is full of truth.  I encourage you to check it out.  I've enlarged and boldened sentences I think are especially well said.   Not Your Mother's Kind of Tolerance by Jonathan Parnell | August 2, 2012   Views that advocate same-sex marriage are free to exist, but they are wrong. Now, stop. Read the above sentence again. Are you okay with it? Chances are how you feel about that statement indicates your understanding (or misunderstanding) of tolerance. D. A. Carson, in his book, The Intolerance of Tolerance , explains that Western culture isn't exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to knowing what tolerance is. He distinguishes two different concepts of this word: old tolerance and new tolerance. Old tolerance — that is, before the onslaught of postmodernism — defines the concept as to "accept the existence of different views." New tolerance, however, defines tolerance ...
