It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for the Hodgepodge! Whoop Whoop!
C’mon and join the fun! Post your own answers and link back up on Joyce’s blog. Visit others to see how they answered. Make new friends!
1. March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’s birthday so I’m wondering…do you like green eggs and ham? Okay-how about this instead…how do you like your eggs? Or don’t you?
My preferred way of eating eggs is over-easy. I love dunking my toast in the liquid yolk. Yum!!
2. Is March coming in like a lion or something less ferocious where you live?
I am not exactly sure what this quote means!! Can you believe it? I’ll assume that coming in like a lion refers to violent weather, which certainly is not the case for the Florida Panhandle. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous, with highs in the low 70’s. I spent a couple of hours outside last Saturday and actually had a tan line the next day! I wish it would stay like this all year around!
3. Do you work better or worse under pressure?
I am the type of person who works best under pressure. Pressure helps me stay focused. Pressure is something I’m used to right now with the accelerated teacher certification program that I am enrolled in. Pressure is also something I felt very keenly last February when Chicky’s high school soccer team made it to the Final 4. We raised nearly $10,000 in four days, which was more than enough money to finance the trip (chartered bus, hotel rooms, coaches expenses, and memorabilia for the girls).
4. March Madness-are you a fan? It’s college basketball in case you’re wondering. And if you’re outside the USA tell us-is there any sort of ‘madness’ taking place during March in your part of the world?
I am not a fan of basketball. I would gladly exchange soccer for basketball any day. Now, that’s a thought!!
5. Under what circumstances do you do your best thinking?
Hmmm…I think my answer would have to be similar to #3’s. I will add that I tend to do a bit better in the “thinking department” late at night when the house is quiet. When I began taking my certification classes, I told myself that I would go to bed at a decent time each night, but I have not done that. I quickly discovered that I produce some of my best work in the wee hours of the morning.
6. What item of clothing from your wardrobe do you wear most often?
I love my blue jeans, which is why I am thrilled that the Mr. bought me a new pair last week during our shopping excursion. The new pair fits me very well, so I will probably wear them out!
7. Do you use sarcasm?
Never.
😉
8. Insert your own random thought here.
As some of you know, I teach at a school that is geared for Muslim students. As a Christian, I have had some interesting discussions. One such discussion occurred yesterday when one of my students asked me if Christians are allowed to say that they are going to heaven.
I wanted to jump on my desk as I responded with a hearty “YES!!!!”
You see, one of the Islamic teachers at the school had already explained to me that Muslims do not know if they are going to heaven until they actually get there.
My student’s question led to more discussion about salvation. I explained that people cannot earn their way to heaven, and that salvation can never be taken away from a person just because of what a person does. I also explained that only God can know our hearts and if we truly have accepted His Son as our Savior.
Oh my gosh, y’all, but the questions kept coming, and I kept answering.
I have learned an important lesson in my first year of teaching.
I do not have to leave America to be a missionary.
I have a mission field ten minutes from my house.
What about you?
