An Oklahoma Granny and my friend, Dolly, from Consider The Lillies passed this award onto me. I am supposed to post 7 things about myself that most do not know. I will try, but honestly, I think I am a pretty boring person and what you have seen so far from me is what you get. But I will try to search the crevices of my mind and see if I can come up with any interesting facts. Okay, here goes....
1. When I was about 11 years old I decided to run away from home because I had gotten punished for something. I guess I really didn't have the concept down because I left my house and went straight to my grandmother's house (she immediately called my mother who didn't even know that I was missing yet). This escapade added a few days to my punishment but I also got the silent treatment from my heartbroken mom which was worse than anything else.
2. I have never been on an airplane and I have no desire to ever go on one either.
3. I can't swim and I live in Florida with a pool in my yard. My poor kids weren't allowed in the pool until their father came home from work or another adult was present who could swim.
4. I found that history definitely does repeat itself. My husband and I got secretly married and remarried a year later publicly on our 1 year anniversary. History repeated itself with our oldest daughter who did the same thing.
5. I accepted the Lord when I was twenty after reading the book 'The Late Great Planet Earth' by Hal Lindsey. My husband (then boyfriend) spoke often of this book that I had to read it. Immediately after reading it I went out and bought my first Bible. Many years later someone asked us the question if there was a specific person in our life that we could pinpoint that helped lead us to our decision for Christ. Naturally I said my husband because of his conversations with me about this book. To my shock, my husband's answer was me. I never knew that he had not accepted the Lord until after I had read the book and we would read and study the Bible together.
6. I flipped my car and landed in a ditch on the side of the Long Island Expressway when I was a teenager. I wasn't speeding but it was raining and it was kind of a freak accident. The car was totaled, the roof smashed down and all, but the three of us that were in the car walked away without a scratch.
7. I miss my grandchildren and I can't wait to move to be near them.....okay, so anyone who has read my blog already knows this but I couldn't think of anything else. Sorry!
