Sunday Stealing: The Blame Tara Meme

Question 1: Who do you think is the hottest movie star?
William Petersen from CSI: Las Vegas

Question 2: Apart from your house and your car, what is the most expensive thing you have ever bought?
my living room set-from ROOMS TO GO-i can't find a picture of the entertainment center that came with it.
my dining room set, also from ROOMS TO GO


and my bedroom suit-can't find a picture of it, but it is cherry wood? and my aunt said the style was bombe'. i have a poster bed with the most wonderful mattress, a soft pillow top. the dresser and night stand are matching the dresser has a huge mirror, and the nightstand has a marble top.
i am very thankful for all of this-my uncle was the executor-i know that's not spelled right-and since everything i have ever used in my house was always used and given to me, he said that for once, he wanted me to have something new that i got to pick out myself. this is all bittersweet as the price i paid was my mothers passing. sometimes i think, i'd so much rather have her here with me, healthy and vibrant, but i know we all must die. i am thankful that she is with the Lord and no longer suffering.

Question 3: What is your most treasured memory?
i had a wonderful childhood, my mother and i lived with my grandparents, along with a bunch of dogs, so all of it, i can't pin point any one thing about that.
as an adult, i can say that my most treasured memory was the day that i was saved. i was 27 years old and my church was in revival that week. i know that a lot of people don't believe in hell, but i believe there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. the Lord in His mercy, made it plain to me that i was lost and on my way to hell.
i want to make it clear that it was nothing that i did to earn salvation-there was nothing that i could have done, nothing that i could offer God that i could have bought it. there was only one requirement-to come with a broken heart and contrite spirit and ask for it. when i wanted it more than anything-i would have done WHATEVER God told me to do-and when i got to that spot, all i had to do was ask. i have NEVER regretted it, and nothing can ever be so sweet as the Spirit of the Lord.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Question 4: What is the best gift you’ve ever received as a child?
what comes to mind is the Christmas that my cousins and i all got a stuffed red snake that was big enough to drape over our shoulders, and a set of plastic dishes that i got as well. i absolutely loved those dishes, and after my mother passed away i found a picture of that christmas morning

Question 5: What is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made?

Question 8: What was your most embarrassing moment?
