Freeze Tag!

When I was ten or so, my favorite game in the world was freeze tag. At church family camp, we kids would fill our stomachs, grab a few cookies for the road, and promptly dash down the hill for a good round of freeze tag. These days, I'm more on the side of the old fuddy-duddys at whom I once shook my head for preferring to watch on the sidelines while their food settled. However, I'm still game for a frolicking round of tag once in a while--just not right after a meal. In that spirit, Rebecca at Pressing On has tagged us with the Honest Scrap Award. Pleased because Mikaela and I desire to be nothing if not honest, we humbly accept the award and share ten absolutely, undisputably honest things about ourselves that will bring a grin to your face and raise an eyebrow in surprise at the same time. Maybe. Or not.

I'll go first.

1. Natalie Wickham interviewed me on her Pajama School blog!
2. I love orchids, and although I only have one right now, I am carefully scoping out which one to get next!
3. I'm currently listing to The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton from Project Gutenberg on my MP3 player. So far, although I may not agree with every philosophic point, it is very thought provoking.
4. I chose the caramelized pear and toasted pecan ice cream. Yum!
5. In my time with the Lord, I am studying what the Bible has to say about a woman’s role in the church service or prayer meeting. To speak or not to speak, to pray aloud or not to pray—that is the question!
   

Mikaela:

6. I have a habit of “playing” with a sheet of cloth with my hands whenever they are not busy. Over and over, up and down, around and around. It’s weird, I know.
7. Isaiah is my favorite book of the Bible…currently. It’s also the book I just finished reading. Connection?
8. In the last few years, I’ve suddenly begun liking country songs (a select few). Is something wrong with me?
9. I have always wanted to be a wife and mother, but before I realized that was a life vocation in and of itself, I wanted to be a hairdresser.
10. Pairs of shoes I own: 16. Pairs of shoes that should be in the garbage can: 5. Pairs of flip-flops: 4. Thus, pairs of REAL shoes I own that do not belong in the garbage can: 7.

Finally, out of breath from running and delighted to keep the tag going, we hereby award Sarah of Princess Prints, Ruthie of Journey of Faith, and Abby of A Light to Follow the Honest Scrap award. They must then share ten honest things about themselves and tag seven (did I say seven? :) people whose blogs they admire. Happy tagging!
