A. B. C.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Holly @ 9:35 pm

A. Available or Single? What does that mean? It seems an oxymoron.

B. Best friend? My inkpen.

C. Cake or pie? Usually cake.

D. Drink of choice? Sweet tea.

E. Essential item? Air.

F. Favorite color? Green. Or Brown. Or Blue.

G. Gummi bears or worms? I must agree with BJ, SOUR gummy worms.

H. Hometown? Watson, La.

I. Indulgence? I finally bought myself some rollerblades. (now if I’ll only get out there and use them)J. January or February? January, my birth month! As a kid I used to love that for one month I was technically only one year younger than Wes.

K. Kids and names? I would like to say David and Hannah, because they almost count as mine.

L. Life incomplete without? Internet. Fellow believers.

M. Marriage date? Only God knows at this point.

N. Number of Siblings? One older and two much younger.

O. Oranges or Apples? Pink Lady apples. Or Gala.

P. Phobias/fears? Cockroachaphobia. I won’t pass NCLEX the first time around and will feel like a dolt. I’ll mess up/ miss something at work.

Q. Favorite Quotation? “Humanism says the end of all being is the happiness of man. Christianity says the end of all being is the glory of God.”

R. Reason to smile? I’m flying out to Colorado in a mere 8 hours!

S. Season? Hmmm… Tony’s? Ok, no, Fall. Spring and Summer are close behind though. Winter’s a drag. Give me blue skies in any season though, and I’m happy.

T. Tag three people: Dave: He’ll have to update now. The other people have already been tagged.

U. Unknown fact about me: Well if I knew it I would definitely tell you.

V. Vegetable you hate: Well, I hate some in various forms: Celery raw, spinach cooked, and onions raw.

W. Worst habit? Biting the side of my cheek inside my mouth.

X. X-rays I’ve had: Just last week I had two x-rays of my teeth, just as I do twice a year when I go to the dentist for a cleaning. Just think how many times my head have been exposed to x-rays… and how many more times it will be in my lifetime. I have also had a panoramic x-ray of my head to look at my teeth to see my wisdom teeth. Oh, and they did come out… even though it took an oral surgeon cutting them out of my head… but they definitely did come out. I think the coolest x-ray was one that wasn’t done on me, but I got to watch during an orthopedic surgery. Over your scrubs but under your surgical gown you deck out with a big ‘ole lead vest/apron (which is quite hefty as you can imagine) anyway they have a x-ray machine that the surgeon can operate with a pedal on the floor so it’s a moving image on the screen, not a still shot like you usually see. It’s very cool to watch the drill and screws and such. :D

Y. Your favorite food? Hmmm… right now… Linda’s gumbo.

Z. Zodiac? I really don’t know. One of my patients had the same birthday as me and she was saying, “oh, so you’re a _______ too!” I was like, “Yeah, I guess so” Don’t remember what she said I was.

Lassie

Okay, I admit, I cried over Lassie tonight.

 Mom got me some of the original Lassie’s (with Tommy then Timmy) for Christmas. I was watching the several episode saga of when Lassie was trying to make her way home. Tear jerker ending!

Let’s not forget that Lassie was periodically the subject of controversy with parents groups monitoring television content back in the day. Lassie’s characteristic dependence on cliff-hanger plots in which children were placed in jeopardy was seen as too intense for many smaller children; at the same time, Timmy’s actions were said to encourage children to disobey their parents and to wander off on their own. Oh, how times have changed.

Wisdom

Filed under: Uncategorized — Holly @ 9:06 pm
Proverbs 8:1
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man.
8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things.
8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.
8:8 All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them.
8:9 They [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
8:11 For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
8:13 The fear of the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
8:14 Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding; I have strength.
8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth.
8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
8:18 Riches and honour [are] with me; [yea], durable riches and righteousness.
8:19 My fruit [is] better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
8:24 When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains abounding with water.
8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
8:30 Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;
8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights [were] with the sons of men.
8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways.
8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
8:34 Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

especially verses 22-31. Isn’t it always interesting how something that you’ve read so many times before suddenly stands out in a new way?

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Accent?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Holly @ 8:45 am
 

I’m afraid this quiz is not very accurate, I’m well aware that I have a STRONG Southern accent.

 What American accent do you have?

Your Result: The Midland

“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

 

The South
The West
Philadelphia
The Inland North
The Northeast
Boston
North Central
