Don't let the difficulties of the present moments overshadow the reality of God's promises. God's promises still stand. And God's promises are stronger than our failures.

I'm Doris Day

There's this little quiz that I saw over at Janera's blog where you can answer two questions and the quiz maker tells you which movie star you closely resemble. Personality not looks....darn. Now just imagine...with only two questions your whole personality is analyzed, sifted, scrutinized and boiled down to a few sentences that describe you. I thought - no way. That's so rediculous. It can't even get close to who I am.


But then up popped this picture. I am Doris Day! And I thought, "oh my goodness I love Doris Day! I can just see her now with Rock Hudson in that convertible in the middle of winter. The top is down and he takes off his glove to hold her hand. What was that movie? You know the one, where he was a womanizer and they shared a telephone party line? Anyway, who wouldn't want to think they were like Doris Day?

"Dorises are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs." That's what the quiz maker said and I thought, oh yea, that's me! How funny....is there anyone out there who would say oh that's not me. I'm not warm, I'm not sensitive to others.

Here are some things to like about a Doris:
* being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
* knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
* being generous, caring, and warm
* being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
* being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

Notice a pattern here? All good stuff. Nothing bad. Nothing like "impatient with people who act stupid in the grocery store." Nothing like "would rather stay in bed on a cold day that get out and run errands - lazy?" Nothin like "hates diets and stomps her foot while standing in front of the refrigerator because everything in there is fattening." Nothing like, "can't remember names of people she's known all her life" or "forgets to stir when she's cooking and burns the beans." Nothing like that stuff.

I have to admit though that if Doris really is generous, caring and warm...if she really is sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings...if she's enthusiastic and fun-loving and has a good sense of humor then I have to agree I'm just like Doris! :)
