Thanks, TC, for the tag...

1. What is your favorite bible verse?  Philippians 1:6  "Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."  That gives me hope that He is not done with me yet.  :o)

2. What season of the year is your favorite?  Why?  Well, it used to be fall, just for the joy of being comfortable outside again after summer's long months of stifling heat... and for the apples, and the drives up to the mountains, and the smell and sounds of crunchy fall leaves, planting pansies after tearing out summer's faded flowers that were way past their prime, pretty fall colors, crysanthemums (how do you spell that?), pumpkins, bonfires, and... well, I guess fall is still my favorite season.  It just happens to also be an extremely busy season now, also.  Extremely. 

3. Do you think homeschooling will continue to grow?  Definitely.  Especially if I have more children.  :o)   The big 4-0 is a'comin' though, so maybe the rest of you will have to help me out on this one. 

4. List 4 people that have most influenced your life.  Roger & Carol Carr, who took me in when I was 17 and a mess and showed me Jesus.  Scott, who loves me all of the time.  I'll let you know when I think of the other one.

5. What is your favorite non-biblical quote? I've got several of these...

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held it's ground.  (ha ha that's me)

Could I climb to the highest place in Athens, I would lift my voice and proclaim, "Fellow citizens, why do you turn and scrape every stone to gather wealth, and take so little care of your children to whom one day you must relinquish it all?"  - Socrates

Making the decision to have a child is momentous.  It's to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.  - Elizabeth Stone

6.  Silk, satin, or cotton?  Cotton.  Unironed, especially.

7. If you like chocolate, what is your favorite?  "If"?!?!?  SOME of my favorites include: Cadbury milk chocolate (melts in the mouth, one wonderful square at a time), Nestle semi-sweet chocolate morsels (not "chips" mind you; they are "morsels") - b/c they are my mainstay, Lindt Excellence Intense Orange dark chocolate w/ almond (currently unavailable, but one can always hope),  and Baskin-Robbins chocolate peanut butter ice cream.

8. If you could sit at dinner with 5 people, who would they be?  Well, it would have to be 6 people, b/c I would pick my Mom (1) and have her come and have dinner with my husband (1) and kids (4), so she could meet them and they could meet her.

9.  Who is your favorite author?  Sorry, that's too hard.  (I'm not playing by the rules, am I?)  I love: Jane Austen, James Herriot, Laura Ingalls Wilder, C. S. Lewis, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Ralph Moody, Betty MacDonald, and so many more! 

10.  Who will you tag?  Anyone who reads this and wants to take part.  :o)
