Today Is Friday But Sunday Is Coming!

 These pictures are some I took on a trip to Israel last year.

The garden where He prayed and the Disciples slept.

 I wonder if the poppies were blooming that sad Friday.

The hills of Jerusalem - not quite as populated in that day but still a metropolis for the time.

 I looked out over that beloved land and wept.

My husband prayed at The Wailing Wall.

Today is Friday, but Sunday is coming!

E Is For...

E is for Empathetic.  Believe me, if you cry I'll cry with you.  I feel your pain.  I guess that's why, in my former life, I was for a long time a  high school counselor.  I love teens.  Does that make me crazy?

D Is For...

D is for Diplomatic.  My life motto is "Nice Matters" so whenever I can I'm going to be positive, say the thing that flatters or uplifts you and I'll bend over backwards to look for the good and point it out.  I heard a motivational speaker one time who said something nice can be said about everyone if you look hard enough and I believe that.  Sometimes you have to look really hard.  :)

Is that even the definition of diplomat?  Sometimes I'm ditzy too.  :)

C Is For...

C is for Christian.  My parents didn't go to church when I was little but a neighbor took me when I was five.  When I went to Sunday School for the first time the teacher told me that Jesus loved me and I believed her.  I still do.

B Is For...

B is for Buxom.  Ha!  Bet you never thought you'd see that written here!  I'm not showing any pictures though.  :)  Inherited that gene from my Grandma Light...darn it.  She was tall and "buxom" with an emphasis on the latter.  When I was a little girl, and remember I'm 65 now, I remember when she came to visit and watching her iron her bras.  Yes, iron them.  They were 100% cotton and quite thick, quite large and quite wrinkled after being hung on the line to dry so she had to iron them.  I remember they had hooks like this:

How uncomfortable they must have been!

A Is For....

I was visiting Gail (At The Farm) today because I love reading everything she writes - she's an amazingly gifted writer who posts about everything real and honest in her life on the farm - and she had a new theme going.  She was inspired by a challenge issued by Alex Cavanaugh at Journaling Woman called the 2012 A to Z Challenge.  Gail didn't sign up and neither am I but I think I'll make a stab at describing myself on my posts this month....from A to Z.  I'm not sure about some of those letters.  I'm not sure I know enough words that begin with X or Z but I'll give it a shot.  So here's the first one:

A is for Agreeable.  Yep, that's me.  I hate controversy.  With a Passion.  So I pretty much agree with everyone unless I just can't and then I generally keep my mouth shut.  My Dad was the polar opposite and it used to make him so mad when I wouldn't discuss religion or politics with him.  He could have argued with a stump!  He was serious about those two subjects...and fishing.  I wish he were still here and I'd surely sit down and talk politics with him, despite my need to be agreeable!
