I like how you go about understanding things too. Also, I love that song by Caedmon's call! Haven't thought about it or heard it in a long time, and now it's stuck in my head, which is a good thing. :)

mom's guitar, some dry roasted peanuts in a baggie

If you were stranded on an island and could take ONE person with you, who would it be?
Olive, my dog, but if we're saying no to pets, my mom.

What is your favorite (encouraging) quote?
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon

Believe me when it was in many ways not in their best interest.
