7 Facts About Me

I've been tagged by Chatty Kelly. So I will now post 7 facts about me.

1. I love the color BROWN, as in coffee, chocolate, cocoa, dirt....
2. I used to be an on-air radio personality in Upstate New York and, besides my maiden name, used the names Sue O'Neill and Awesome Sue.
3. My boyfriend in high school and I decided to cross-dress for a Halloween party. (I was a great date and brought him a bouquet! I did think his makeup was a bit much. But I looked like a young Paul McCartney with a mustache. Of course I have pictures.)
4. I answered God's saving call on my life as I was driving to Sam's Club to shop on a Sunday. (I was bawling with happiness, much to the chagrin of my fellow Club members.)
5. I am an unbelievably self-controlled window shopper. I have problems once you get me in the store. (Just ask my personal shopper! "She won't try on anything--What's her problem??")
6. I used to do Chinese fire drills with my high-school youth group. (And I liked them!)
7. My kids bring out the best and the worst in me. I'm still trying to figure them out; us out. Being a mom just isn't what I thought it would be, and truthfully, who can know what being a mom is really like until you become one? God's plan is one of a kind, and I'm so glad that He chose me to experience this special role of a lifetime.

I'd love to hear some of your radio broadcasts! Wow! What a celebrity! I agree with #7 as well. I will share a quote from a friend of mine who had a colicy newborn-"Why didn't anyone tell me this was sooooo hard!" For me I think I forget the hard and cherish the amazing wonder of motherhood.

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...

Did You Find a Directing Sign?

  I drove downtown a couple weeks ago to make a hand-off to a friend who was hosting an event. As we traded a couple of quick comments trunk-side, she invited me to join in her activity. I thanked her but declined saying, "I've already made one trip downtown this week." I grew up living 20 miles away from New York City. Outside of my Dad bringing us in to work at his college or my aunt taking us to Broadway shows every so often, we almost never went there. Later, I worked in Chicago and managed the trains and buses in and out of the city for five years -- until I took a job in the 'burbs. Now, going to the city is largely for entertainment purposes, and I tend not to be the driver for those occasions. Despite what you might be intimating, I do not dislike cities. They truly do have a quality and magnetism all their own. But me DRIVING in the city is another story entirely. And life today seems like a nonstop ride in the city.
