More Questions

Nice Son (not that the other one isn't!!) gave me more questions to answer cause I like to do it. If it bores you, don't read this! Someone wanted him to make questions for him as I had for B. so he just sent them on to me too. Here goes:

1. What is your greatest spiritual gift and how do you use it? Well, they change over the years I have decided but right now, I think it would have to be Encouragement. Or maybe Teaching. I am using it at the cancer center right now as I minister to patients in various forms and treatments of cancer. When they know I have been through the treatments, though mine wasn't really malignant, they just want to talk and share feelings. I am able to do that kind of things well. And I call and check up on them after they have been finished for a while and that makes them feel remembered. Am teaching classes in coping with cancer from the spiritual and emotional side and, if they ever take off, I think that will be an encouragement. Also, I am trying to be more aware and considerate of people in the community who do services for me-like servers at restaurants, etc,-and tell them when they have done a very good job and thank them.
2. If Hollywood were making your life's story, what songs would be on the soundtrack? Too Fat Polka, and Mrs. Goldfarb.
3. Most embarrassing thing I've done on purpose? Hummmmm, embarrassing to whom? Once I painted my brother's feet black with shoe polish while he slept. Didn't embarrass me but he found it a bit frustrating. I'm still sorry I didn't do a moustache or something. For me, at the time it was only funny but when I think of it now, it does embarrass me: when in college, I pretended to be mentally handicapped and went to sit on Santa's lap in the mall. Santa was a bit unnerved but handled it well! My friends found it hysterical and I am ashamed of myself now.
4. IF I were CEO of major corporation, what would it be and what big initiative would I undertake. Have I said yet that you make hard questions??!! This is really far-reaching to think that I would ever do such, but I think I would have 2. The School System would be one. I would kick out everyone who is in charge high up, of course and put the people who really know the children in charge--that would be the classroom teachers(!) who would know what is age-appropriate for kids to be learning. There are several other things i would change but that is the biggest and most of them would be solved by that little change! Also, The Church. I would have all the Denominations to sit down together and work out all their stupid little difficulties and be friends-oh, that is going to happen One Day, isn't it?? I would make them throw out all their preconceived notions (my own denomination included, you realize) and go back to the Bible for all their doctrines.
5. What Old Testament event would I like to witness? Hummm, lots of them. But not Isaiah's running through the streets naked.... I think Elijah's translation would be best maybe.
How's that? This was fun but was HARD!!!! I liked it!!

I loved the story about Santa! Of course, when the sister and I went and sat on Santa's lap when we were in college, we didn't pretend anything...
