Last week, ninjanun pinned this questionnaire on me, and having just completed another silly meme thing, I was a little hesitant to dive in. Since then, however, I've slammed up a couple legit Posts Of Substance, and now, resting on my laurels, I'm prepared to race through another exciting period of self-discovery. As always, I will embark on this voyage with an attitude of the utmost seriousness.

And that concludes the broadcast, folks. I'm still considering whether any of my friends are worthy of completing this survey...maybe Kevin? And it only seems right to give Grace a chance. Also, I could see Skor having a good time with this if he took it on. Shoot, I'll give Paula and Kimberly a mention as well. That makes an even five which means, if I'm not mistaken, that my responsibilities have been fulfilled. ;)
I'm out.

Read any Andrew Murray?
With Christ in the School of Prayer looks very good, but you'll have to look into it if you haven't read it; I have it on my shelf but have yet to read it.
Tear! The story of my life.
Talk about coincidence. I have the same book on my shelf. My younger brother loves Murray and recommends him highly...actually, he probably gave the book to me. Maybe I'll enter the School of Prayer this summer.
"3 ways you are stereotypically a boy:

- wats wrong with the colour pink?????????
It's not pink, per se.
It's the connotative meaning pink tends to carry.
"'- I will never wear pink' - wats wrong with the colour pink?????????"
Man oh man. This is one of those things your mother should probably have mentioned and forgot. It begins at an early age: boy babies generally wear tasteful blue sleepers, while the little girls wear - you know it - fancy-pants pink. For the self-respecting guy, pink never fully loses its girlish associations.
Pink - look's great on a guy...IF he's giving his girl a hug. I probably should have devoted a post to this delicate subject.
Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but better late than never. Don't come down too hard on yourself, and, uh...well, we've all looked silly at one time or another. ;)
