When you're down, what do you do to feel better?

I usually eat, shop, or call someone. If it is a deeper feeling, then I definitely pray and drink some tea.

Would you choose to be the worst player on a winning team or the best player on a losing team?

I think I would rather be the best on the losing team. I don't want to bring the team down.

I think I want this book....

A collection of British personal ads, featuring "If I wear a mask, will you call me batman?"

Check out NPR's story about this book.

What's your favorite quotation?

I love the story of Esther in the Bible. And I'd have to say that there is a scripture from this story that has always been a favorite :
"And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4:14

If you could all human beings one virtue, which would you choose.

Honesty, and the desire for honesty. Most of my drama comes from people telling untruths or "protecting" someone's feelings.

Question of the moment

I recently bought a box of questions designed to inspire conversation in a group setting. Most of the groups I hang with have no problems creating conversation without inspiration. So I thought I would use the questions to help inspire my blog posts. Feel free to answer the questions yourself in the comments.

Here goes the first one:

If you decided to go on a spiritual journey, where would you go and what would you do?

I fear that my thoughts around this question are distinctly transcendental with a side of Buddhist. My life has been a series of spiritual journeys, guided by life lessons and meditations on the Bible. Every day that I wake up, I thank God for one more day on this earth. And while travel is something I would like to do, I don't think my spirituality nor my understanding of my purpose on earth would be particularly strengthened by a trip to a "spiritual" or "religious" place.

Instead, I will continue to start each day with a word of thanks and praise to God, ask for the strength to make it one more day as a believer, and meditate on his precious word. I think the journey God will lead me on will be as exciting and adventurous as any I could create for myself.

Andy Warhol

Today, I saw the Andy Warhol exhibit with Kari. I like art, but I don't always get art. Warhol is in the bucket of art that I don't get. I read everything the museum offered and truly don't understand what the purpose is. I saw the painting Eggs in black and white and in color. In impressionist art, the point of something like that would be to study the light and it's movement over the earth and other items. In modern and post modern art, I'm lost....

However, I still enjoyed the exhibit. I just left with a confusion headache.
