THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

1. Have you ever tried meditation?
I have tried to sit still for awhile and relax and try to focus on God. But I have never meditated nor been successful at sitting still and clearing my mind. The only time I have ever come close to clearing my mind is during extreme pain when I had to focus so that it wouldn't hurt so bad. I wish I could.

2. Do you pray?
Yep. I'm not the type who has a specific time I pray or way I pray or place I pray. It's more like a continual conversation. There have been times when I have literally "gotten on my knees" to pray, but it's not an everyday stance I take.

3. Worst nightmare:
I'm not sure it's my worst, but it's definitely reoccurring and is difficult to shake. I dream of tornadoes. Sometimes people I love are swept away, sometimes I am swept away, sometimes I am successful in keeping my family safe. It's odd.

4. Do trolls live under your bed?
Umm. no.

5. Make a wish:
It's the same one I always make--I wish that my children would grow up to be happy, healthy, and most of all will know and love Jesus.

REALITY TV

I just can't help it, I love reality tv. Not all of it, mind you. Josh and I have been getting into the Extreme Home Makeover that is led by Ty Pennington (you might know him from Trading Spaces). A group of designers choose a family and then completely tear down their existing home and construct a new one in its place! It is phenomenal what they do in 7 days! Talk about changing people's lives--changing the world one home at a time. I applaud Ty and crew for what they are doing and for coming up with an awesome show. Our kids love to watch as well! (It's on Sunday nights at 7pm on ABC.)

IT'S SNOWING!

The big beautiful flake kind of snow! It's gorgeous! I could watch it for hours. Cup of hot tea, warm blanket, good book, low lights and just sit and watch the snow.
