Blogger Friends' School Assignment #1

 

I don't know if this is a good idea or not.  I am having a hard time already, keeping my priorities in line, so I may not be able to do all the homework, but I am going to try, because I have never failed a class before! 

First Question:

How did I get started blogging?  It is my daughters' fault.  They begged me to start a blog.  They were first.  I was looking for a good way for them to do some creative writing AND have an audience for it -- after all, having an audience is more than half the fun of writing anything, unless it is something you don't want to share.  But if they had to write a report or a story, they would say, "What's the point, when no one is going to read it anyway???"  So I encouraged my two oldest girls to start blogging.  They were having so much fun, that in short order they began begging me to join them at HSB.  I hate it when I give in to that kind of pressure, but here I am!  Now we have four bloggers in the family.

Next:

In pictures, share a "dream place" to blog.

Impossible to show in pictures.  My dream place would be my own absolutely clean, neat, organized and picked up house, with a place for everything, and everything in its place, devoid of other inhabitants.  Once in a while I am here alone, but the other part of the dream is not likely to EVER happen, short of a miracle. 

Number 3:

 

Tell us more about you.

What time do you blog?  Often late at night, but also any time I have material in my brain AND I win the competition for a seat at the computer!

What is your favorite drink?  Cold water, unless it is a cold, blustery day.  We don't get many of those, but when we do, I find hot cocoa with a little bit of instant coffee added hits the spot.

What is your favorite book?  The Bible.  It is the only one I have found worth committing to memory.

What is your favorite dessert?  What kind of question is that?? All chocolatey desserts are my favorite dessert!

And fourth, share a scripture than has been an inspiration in your walk with Christ.

Philippians 2:13, "For it is God which worketh in you, both to WILL and to do of his good pleasure."  When God is asking me to do something that is hard for me to agree with him on, I  know that to see things his way, I need only ask him to change my heart. The WILL to do what pleases him comes from him!  I have had to remember that verse many times in recent years, as I have found that I am not as submitted to his will as I once thought I was.

Whew, I was almost late turning in this assignment.  I will have to be more punctual next week!
