Friday Five!
1. What do you like most: Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays (and why)?
Used to be Fridays because we would have a bunch of our friends come over and hang out and play games. But my hubby has to work Friday nights now and we haven't really figured out how to start up another evening like that. So I guess my fave night now would be Sundays because we just hang out at home with the family.
2. What was the best weekend of your life?
That is impossible to answer. I really have no idea. One weekend that sticks out to me is last April when we went with Josh's brother & wife to Lake of the Ozarks and hung out. It was relaxing and fun and non-stressful.
3. What weekend of the year is your favorite?
Probably my birthday weekend. Lately we haven't been able to do anything special because a kid has been sick or something has happened. But I love my birthday and celebrating with friends & family.
4. Do you have any weekend routines?
We always go to church on Sunday morning and in the afternoon we hang around and take naps etc and then in the evening we snack on whatever is in the cabinets or fridge and watch tv or a movie.
5. Describe your ideal Saturday night.
Hmm.. I don't know. I'm not one for routine, so I would rather have something different happen every Saturday night. I like surprises!

Miracles
Been reading through the book of Acts with a few friends and discussing things together. Last nights discussion was brought around to healing and miracles. It seemed like everytime you turned around in Acts one of the disciples was being filled with the Holy Spirit and then was able to bring healing to someone who needed it. We wondered out loud if miracles still happened like that and if so, why none of us had ever personally been involved. We are all relatively young (under 30), but at the same time most of us have been in church all our lives and have never seen something extraordinary done. We've heard stories. But have never had a firsthand experience--even in our families. Have we miscounted the gazillion little things that happened? Or, as someone in the group suggested, has God removed His hand in that way in America?
I don't know for sure what I believe. But I have always struggled with the "nation" thing. Is that still in place? Does God judge a whole nation now? I thought since Christ, it was a person by person thing. Or is that not true? I don't readily have a scripture that even pops into mind that would make that statement accurate.

FRIDAY FIVE
Mish Mosh!
1. favorite cereal and why?
Raisin Bran Crunch--because it's awesome
2. what is the best thing about summer?
spending everyday with my kids
3. would you rather have a slurpee or a milkshake?
milkshake. I think slurpees taste funny.
4. If you could be a member of any band/musical group, past or present, what band would it be and why?
I'm not a "band" kind of person. But if I could play in any "Broadway Musical" it would probably be West Side Story because it's my favorite. But I would end up with a cruddy part because I'm not Puerto Rican :)
5. Who is your idol? What are they famous for?
Umm, that would be Jesus Christ and He kind of did that whole dying on the cross thing. That was pretty famous :)
