I was just playing one of my favorite games with my girls tonight called, “Would you Rather.” It’s a great question and answer game and for one of the challenges my oldest daughter had to come up with her own question. She asked this… “If you had the ability, would you rather change something in the past for the better or something in the future? And as I thought about this question, I thought I’d rather change something in the future, because the idea of changing the past always makes me wonder if I’d likely then screw up the future. But then my youngest daughter had this perspective, she said she’d rather change something in the past because in that way it would likely fix something in the future as well. So in her mind, she was killing two birds with one stone. Lol… She is always so much more optimistic than I am. I suppose it’s a gamble either way no matter what choice is made. What would you do and why?

The Narrow Gate

The Narrow Gate
13 “Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate to hell is wide and the road that leads to it is easy, and there are many who travel it. 14 But the gate to life is narrow and the way that leads to it is hard, and there are few people who find it.
Matthew 7:13-14 Good News Translation (GNT)
I’ve been thinking about this so much lately. Anybody have any thoughts to share? It seems a mystery to me most days, how we’re ever supposed to find the narrow gate in the first place. Seems difficult, if not impossible. But nothing’s impossible with God… right? ~M

Brianna – “Mom, what’s the male version of a feminist? A menimist?
Me – “No dear… he’s simply called a man.”
*And yes, for all who would like to argue the point, there is such a thing as a masculist. But do men really need a name for it? Lol… 😉

“Hey Mom! What is this, a knitting needle?”
Caitlyn Cook (daughter, age 23)
How many of you know what this is? I suppose it could pass for a crochet needle, but it’s actually an orange peeler. My girls never cease to surprise me by their odd questions, even at this age. Lol…. 😉

Thought we were sort of due for another question and answer game tonight. So…
If you could add one word to the dictionary, what would it be and what would it mean?
P.S. I will choose one of the answers and write a poem about it tomorrow. So think of a good one! I can’t wait to see all of your responses. ~M

As a child, I never quite understand the purpose or point of imaginary friends. Maybe it was the fact that I disliked the real friends I had so much, that there was no possible way I would have ever wanted to make more of them in imaginary form. All of my children have had imaginary friends, so it sort of got me wondering why I never did. Have any of you ever had an imaginary friend?

A conversation with my 15 yr. old daughter, who had just returned from the next door neighbor’s house.
Brianna – “My friend Jenny sure is turning into a teenager.”
Me – “Oh really? Why do you say that?”
Brianna – “Oh, you know… she’s just growing up and acting like the typical kind.”
Me – “Well, you are fifteen yourself… do you think you act like the typical teenager?
Brianna – “Who me? No, not really… what do you think?”
Me – “Oh Absolutely not! Lol….”
Brianna – “What about you mom? Do you see yourself as a fully grown woman?”
Me – “No, not at all… What do you think?”
Brianna – “Oh mom… not in a million years!” As she laughs uncontrollably.
Guess even my children can tell that I refuse to grow up. And she’s taking after me! Lol…. ~M 😉

I wonder…
When you buy property, how deep does your ownership go? Do you hold the rights to your parcel of land all the way to the very core of the earth? Hmmm…

Here’s a thought…
Since prunes are dehydrated plums, why isn’t prune juice called plum juice? ~M

If you could go on a mission to mars to establish a human settlement, would you go, even if you knew ahead of time that you could never return to earth?
