I have seen the first one the made (episode four, why did they do that?) and I liked it for the most part. We don’t own it or watch it much because of all the new age stuff in it.

I am going to tag….

Anyone who would like to do this.

1. Do a post about the person who awarded you, and their blog.

2. Give the award to 5 of your favorite blogs, give a reason, and leave a comment telling them they have been awarded.

3. Answer the 10 random questions.

4. Have Fun!

Haley’s blog is so much fun. She has very interesting, funny and sometimes thought provoking posts.

Elizabeth J’s blog has been a huge blessing in my life. I enjoy not only reading her blog posts but also working with her on MOHL.



Now for the people I would like to award.

The first on my list is Rachel and Jessica over at the Young Homemakers blog. Both Rachel and Jessica have become good friends to me. They were the first two that regularly commented on my blog. It was with Jessica that I first tossed around the idea of a group blog that ended up becoming Meditations of His Love.

Arianna’s blog is another blog that has been a blessing to me. Her posts make you laugh, cry, and point you to the Father. I have had the privilege of getting to know the girl behind the blog as well and that has been a huge blessing.

Chelsea’s blog is a great one for aspiring authors. She is a very gifted girl and she shares a lot of great thoughts.

Julia’s is the next person on my list. I must confess Julia that when you first joined MOHL I wasn’t sure about you. However, as I got to know you more, I found the reasons behind some of the things you said and did. Now I feel like you are a good friend and I am so thankful that God brought you into my life

Virtuous Girlhood is last blog I am going to award (it was really hard to just choose five). I am awarding her for her wonderful quotes and thought provoking articles and for the encouraging comments she leaves

1. Have you ever ridden an elephant? No, but that might be fun.

2. Have you ever eaten squid? No and the thought doesn’t appeal to me either.

3. What is something crazy you have done with your best friend? My best friend is my sister Rose so we have had a lot of time to do crazy things. Because of that and the fact that everyone in my family is crazy (you laugh, but you would agree if you saw us in action) it is hard to pick one thing.

4. Have you ever held an alligator? Why would anyone in their right mind do that?



5. Have you ever let a snake slither through your fingers? No, I am too busy killing them so they won’t get the chickens.



6. What is your first and foremost dream in life? To love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, and mind and to show his love to the world.

7. What is your dream vacation? To go to Washington D.C. with my family

8. What is the funniest movie you have ever seen? Bedtime Stories

9. What is your favorite song? I Will Lift My Eyes

10. If you could change the world in one way, what would you do? I would wake up the sleeping church and get them to live their faith and start loving people like Christ commanded.

Are you an elf? No, I don’t think elves are allowed to blog, they have to spend all their time making toys for the nice kids (LOL).

And anyone else who I might have missed and wants to do this. Let me know when you post your answers.

Note; this was post number 200!

Okay, I have to admit it. This morning I had no idea what I was going to post on. So, I thought until I came up with the idea to start a new blogging game. You are all probably familiar with the blogging game where you tell your readers some random things about yourself and then tag some other bloggers to do the same. Well, today, I am starting a new blogging game where people will be asked to tell the six to ten things that they do on a daily basis. Here are the rules for this game.

*Post the six to ten things that you do on a daily basis
*Link to the person who tagged you.
*Tag five other people
*Leave a comment on the blog of the person that tagged you letting them know that have posted this to your blog.
Okay, so here are some things I do on a daily basis.

1.I get on the web and look at my blog (now, if only I could learn to post that often).
2.I hug my siblings and parents.
3.I take a walk outside (having five, wooded acres to roam on makes this very pleasant.
4.I read something, anything to fill my built in need to read.
5.I talk to myself. Okay, this is not the best of habits I suppose but is one that I can’t break (besides, my best ideas for writing have come when I’m talking to myself).
6.I listen to classical music. I love the soothing or inspiring music while I go about my work.
7.I pray, I always make the time to talk to my heavenly father.

One thing that is sadly missing from this list is Bible reading. I am horrible at remembering to read my Bible on a daily basis.

I am going to tag, Victoria, Jessica /, Rachel, Anna, Miriam, and The Girlhood Gazette.

I have been tagged by Victoria! So here are six random things about myself.

1.I love history

2.I prefer to read non-fiction books

3.When I work hard all day and stay up late, I will laugh at just about anything.

4.I love to play piano

5.I go to a small church that has about twelve families in it.

6.I have six siblings

I will tag YLCF Anna, Miriam, Sarah, Mrs. Anna T, and Miss Kathryn
Rules:
*Link to the person who tagged you.
*Post the rules on your blog.
*Write six random things about yourself.
*'Tag' six-or-so other people at the bottom of your post-
*And leave comments on their blogs letting them know they've been tagged.
*Let the person who tagged you know when you've written the post.
