A few of My favortie things..

Taken from Tif's blog...of course I cannot just LIST them, I have to EXPLAIN THEM.

Favorite things:

A great cup of Joe...perking as we speak
and of course, all the derivatives thereof, except icecream. I do not like coffee icecream.

Great Church. Really, this is truly one of my favorite things. I believe your spiritual meat should come from the family alter. So in this day and age, you should pretty quickly surpass the teaching of the average church. So when you find one that still feeds you, well....I can't HELP but feel great about that. I had not been fed in a church for years before I found CC...AND I was told that eventually you should just become a servant in the church after so many years...but I tell you, with the way Calvary teaches, it feels like I hit the proverbial expository jackpot. Lol
Who just wants to go through RITUAL? Ugh! Gimme da' good stuff!

Lobster by twos and I mean to SAY. I LOVE lobster.

Creme Brulee. (I don't know how to make those little accents on my computer)
And if I am going to have Creme Brulee then I want TWO.

Kate YELLING out the window as they pull away at the top of her lungs, "I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lying in my husbands arms. Look, I don't want to get into TMI here but let me just tell you about my husband. If I just get too CLOSE to him in proximity, my body lights up. He likes this. Lol There is NOTHING about my husband that I do not adore.

The different personalities of my kids in a nutshell. I love that they each have their own thing about them that I am crazy about.

Writing. Yep, surprise surprise, I love to write.

Motivating others with excitement. I get So excited for other people...to see them get excited in turn is a favorite thing.

Little tiny BABIES. Preferably mine.

Well behaved children.

Misbehaving children are also a favorite as long as they have a good heart. You KNOW what I mean. You can just SEE the mean in some kids. There was this little black kid in Sloan's Kindergarten class named Deon. He was short, skinny and had the vocabulary of 30 year old. He would fight, spit, swear, and disobey EVERYONE. But if you were walking down the hall, he'd hold your hand and he'd hug you. When the class found out how fast he could run, he became the star and he would run everywhere FAST just to get attention. Then we found out he had 11 brothers and sisters and one time his Mom was there at school for something and his Dad came in and started calling her "Bitc*" and all that and I saw Deon's heart fall. I pray the Lord takes that kid all the way. So many times, misbehaving kids can grab hold of my heart.

I guess that means kids in general make the list!

Pictures...ah, a good picture is like GOLD to me!

Laughing. Make me laugh, I mean REALLY laugh, and I'm yours.

Dry, sarcastic humor.

Bantering.

Clever humor.

Love. Love. Love!! I LOVE love...

Not being able to hold a grudge.

A clean house.

Progress of all kinds. But not the civilization type progress. More like the "I cleaned my drawers out" progress.

Pastors of all shapes and sizes. Have you guys ever wondered what it was REALLY like to be a pastor??? Staying tight with God ALL THE TIME (or trying to) being watched ALL THE TIME, judged on behavior, decision making. KNOWING in your heart that you have this awesome responsibility...trying to fill needs of so many...But in the end...there is just something about them...a representative of God's Word who stands without ego is like nothing I have ever seen. Yes, our pastor fits this bill. Thank you for Pastor Doug Lord!

Hmmm, what else...

Great weather, a fun trip, presents, GOOD presents, diet coke, clippies for my hair, a clean van, an intelligent conversation, feeling beautiful (rare these days) books, secure people, take action type people, and little tiny furry fluffy kittens...with bricks tied to their tails.Just kidding, just kidding...I had to throw that in there for shock value!
