What is your personal motto?
My motto:
"Never claim a personal motto; you'll change before you know it." - Jule
I won't be able to stop seeing my quirks once I begin looking, but I'll try to cut them down to a digestible list of six as asked.
This is for Mandy at Piaku! A meme, I don't know what that is, but, nonetheless, we have a roll to play.
I shall be tagging... I guess everyone in my neighborhood. That's almost 6.
1. I am afraid of speaking on the phone or answering my door. This includes ordering/receiving pizza.
2. I pretty much hate it when a person sneezes and they don't excuse themselves. It's disgusting, although admittedly human. Snot and spit flies everywhere and I'm supposed to respond with a blessing?
3. I never say "Bless you" when someone sneezes. I don't think the plague still holds a grip.
4. When I was little, I went out of my way to eat Crispy Wheats 'n Raisins out of a wooden salad bowl with my favorite rose-inlay spoon. That was primo.
5. I have a hang-up with putting away our clean clothes. There are piles of clean and piles of dirty; I just can't seem to do that menial task. It completely wrecks our room to be sure.
6. This isn't a quirk, but it's as good of a time as any to say it: I don't like Dr. Suess.
Show us the cartoon character that annoys you the most.
And her tag-line: "Now that's comedy!"
Which ironically, never was the case.
Why is there so much division amongst those of us professing Jesus as Christ?
How does this honor Him?
And is there one 'true' church, and by that I mean Is there a body of believers that meet together that are in existence right now that have hit the nail on the head in every facet, never allowing human frailty or design to infiltrate the doctrine or the practices?
I say, thank God He looks at our hearts, because it is what is in the heart that truly matters.

He's in everything!
How many houses have you lived in? How is where you live now different from where you grew up?
Fifteen different places I've called home...
Where I am now is different from where I did most of my growing up in that we are very convenient to everything here. And we have good water. I used to drive 40 miles one way to work at Walgreen's. Yeah, I'm happy to be here.
Nobody likes it.
Being 'shamed on'.
How do you react to it?
I usually feel a mix of embarrassment and anger.
I don't automatically assume I'm right. It forces me to look again at what it is I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
It's only happened twice to have complete strangers, and nameless ones at that, hiding behind 'unknown numbers' and 'private blog settings', smack me upside the unassuming head. But, if nothing else, it makes me think, and that can be a good thing.
