G is for

Get-go – the very beginning of something

Ok, I was a little surprised to find this in the dictionary. Is this really a word? Please refer back to the letter “E” – could this be part of the problem? When did slang become dictionary worthy? I had to look up “ain’t” and sure enough – it was there. Does anybody besides me remember grammar school? Using the word “ain’t” was a sure way to get sent to the principal’s office in my day. It’s no wonder kids can’t speak properly, much less write a paper. I think it’s sad.

Five Question Friday

Time to head over to Mama M's at My Little Life for 5 question Friday!

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear and LINK UP!

Questions for Friday, April 6th:

 1. Would you prefer having people over for dinner or going to their house? - I prefer having people to my house because I enjoy cooking and am more comfortable in my own home.

2. Favorite Bible verse and why? - Torn between 2: John 3:16 because it is the key to salvation and John 11:16 - Jesus wept. The shortest verse in the Bible but packed with meaning.

3. What was the first concert you ever attended, and the most recent one? - Beach Boys back around 1977 was the first, and while I know there have been many others, I can't think of any right now.

4. The year is 2025. What are you doing, and what have you done? -Only time will tell.

5. What's your favorite Easter treat? - Chocolate of course.

F is for

Fate- a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the cosmos.

Do you believe in fate? Yes/no/somewhat? I believe that all things were “predetermined” long ago so I guess you could say that I somewhat believe in fate. BUT, I believe that I possess the ability to change things in my own life and the lives of others. You can’t just say “oh well, the ship is sinking and there’s nothing we can do – it’s fate. You have to try and make a difference in any way that you can. I may end up going down with the ship but I’ll be bailing until I go under!

I do - although I have not really taken the time to do a lot with it yet. It seems like something that could be addictive if you let it. Between classes, work, and the blogging I simply don't have time for it right now.
