I was sitting here last night just poking around on my computer, too lazy to go to bed, and I did this quiz, Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong? (whatever that means). I was curious, because I am from California originally -- Orange County, to be exact. I grew up there, moved away from there, and was saved from there when I met the Lord Jesus Christ! Believe me, it is a good place to be FROM. Every time I go home to my parents' house (my childhood home), I am aghast, dismayed, disgusted at how image-oriented and totally VAIN the whole area is. I often pray that God will make my kids forget the things they see and hear there, that would draw their hearts away from him. OC is maybe the biggest Vanity Fair on the face of the earth, second to Beverly Hills which, for image's sake, has no funeral homes, landfills, or other "negatives". Well, now that I think about it, maybe it is third. I just saw an article about NYC, where the Golden People are spending, on average, $30 for a quart of bottled WATER, one with just the right designer label. One hot-selling brand is $55/qt!!!
So how did my quiz turn out? Where does my "inner Californian" belong?
| Orange County |
 From Disneyland to Laguna Beach, you're all about living the California dream life. Just make sure to marry rich - so you don't have to work for it! |
No. First of all, I am not rich, unless I have some treasures stored up in heaven. I am not pretty, as pretty goes. And I do live a blessed life, but not a charmed one. Disneyland? Not anymore. I can't support that industry with a clean conscience. And no, I am not all about living the California dream life. I have eternal life to look forward to! So does this mean that in my inner person, I am really wishing I was back there again? No, I can truthfully say it does not. It is one of the last places on earth I would want to live. Who writes these dumb quizzes, anyway? (And why do I waste my time on them?? My fault, lol!) I have to admit, though, I do love the ocean. But God made that...
