'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' How
does this saying ring true in your own family, either the one you grew up in or
the one you made?
Let’s see . . .Glenn looks like me and
acts JUST like Mark. It is uncanny how much alike they are! Laura looks like Mark
and acts more like me.

Something you're nuts about these days? How
about something that's driving you nuts?
I’m answering the questions on Sunday night . . .I was
nuts about the temperature today in Alabama. It was in the 70’s! If the
humidity could have been lower, it would have been perfect. The addition of a
little sunshine would have been nice, too.
Bad drivers ALWAYS drive me nuts. Seriously!

What does abundance mean to you?
Enough! Abundance means that I have enough to be
comfortable . . .plus a tiny extra. One of the meanings in the dictionary
(online, of course!) is: Plentifulness of the good things of life – yes! Another
meaning is overflowing.

Caramel apple-caramel cake-caramel corn-caramel
sundae-caramel macchiatto...what's your caramel treat of choice?
I wish I enjoyed hot beverages!! Let’s see . . .lately
my treat has been Halo Top ice cream (fake, but good) and I enjoy the salted
caramel flavor. My mother made a cake with “burnt sugar icing” – Before you
correct my “burnt” to “burned,” please know that I looked it up. She pronounced
it as “burnt” and that spelling is ok! In hindsight, she was making a caramel
icing! It was so good. Mark’s mother made a great caramel cake, too.

What's a childhood memory that always comes to
mind as the leaves start to fall?
We lived within walking distance of the football
stadium when I was a kid. I can still smell the popcorn and hear the band.
Those memories come to mind as fall arrives.

Insert your own random thought here. I’ve
mentioned that I teach our Sunday School class. This morning (remember I’m
typing on Sunday night) I taught a lesson on hospitality based on Hebrews 13:2
-- ‘Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some
have entertained angels without knowing it.’
I talked about showing radical hospitality
to those who come through the doors of our church. Would you please tell me one
thing your church does to make sure that all who enter your church feel welcome?
