Hedgehogs Be Praised

For the second time in bloggerworld, I have been tagged! Seriously, is being tagged not the best feeling ever? =D

John the hedgehog from Banana's Aren't Good was nice enough to grant me the glee of being tagged! Here were his eleven questions:

1. You don't like bananas, right?

They are sometimes squishy and gross. Besides, I don't like monkeys.

 2. Do you want to build a snow man with me?

Oh ever so much! It doesn't snow here. =(

 3. Do you like movies with sand in them? I do. Jack's friend does too and that is how I saw the movie with sand in it.

I am not a beach person.

 4. Will you see the movie with the boy named Jack Frost in it?

If you buy the ticket.

 5. Will you read the books before the movie?

Serious doubts.

 6. Do you like books?

They smell nice.

 7. Do you have someone like Jack to read them to you?

No. But sometimes the ghosts in the closet come out and listen.

 8. Do you have a boring big brother like I do?

In all fairness, he does not bore me that much.

 9. Do you like cold chocolate or hot chocolate more?

Hot chocolate season is short-lived here. Cold is the way to go.

 10. Is your birthday the same day as my birthday?

Negative.

 11. Do you want to put candles on your tree?

I do not think my tree would like me if I did that. I read books in her leaves, and I have a desk made out of plywood up in her branches. However, candles are not to her liking.

Someday I will live in a treehouse.

And here are my questions:

1. Are you okay with bats?
2. If I asked you to check out a book called "Lasagna for Breakfast" at the nearest library, what would your first thought be?
3. Something on your "bucket list"?
4. Is it cheesy to say gesundheit?
5. Are monkeys cute or creepy?
6. First guy's name that comes to your head?
7. If you were to break your arm tomorrow, how would you do it?
8. Best shoes to dance in?
9. Would you recognize any Beatles's songs if one randomly played on the radio?
10. Something that's bugging you now is...?
11. The last video you played on YouTube was...?

And now: THE TAG-EES!

"The Time I Kill is Killing Me"

There are a few things that we as humans don't seem to have figured out yet. For example, why do we complain about time flying, yet at the same time, when asked how our day went, we moan:

"SLOOOOOOOWLY.",

Punctuated with exasperation. It just doesn't make sense to me. Shouldn't a slow day be a blessing? If time is such a short, fleeting element, wouldn't it be right to revel in it? There's that saying about sitting back, breathing, and letting it all go. Well that sounds nice, but if you let it all go, you may not have anything left by the time you wake up. There are certain things that anchor you to what matters. Things like Hope. And Hope is important. The minute you let him go, you will realize that you need a bigger road map. Lucky for us as believers---we always have hope!

And that, as Gandalf said, is a comforting thought.

          1 Corinthians 7:29-31

²⁹ What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; ³⁰ those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; ³¹ those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.

           Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is a time for everything,

    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

² 

    a time to be born and a time to die,

    a time to plant and a time to uproot,

³ 

    a time to kill and a time to heal,

    a time to tear down and a time to build,

⁴ 

    a time to weep and a time to laugh,

    a time to mourn and a time to dance,

⁵ 

    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

⁶ 

    a time to search and a time to give up,

    a time to keep and a time to throw away,

⁷ 

    a time to tear and a time to mend,

    a time to be silent and a time to speak,

⁸ 

    a time to love and a time to hate,

    a time for war and a time for peace.

James 4:14

¹⁴ yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
