I love time travel stories like
"Back to the Future" and "Star Trek"

(several have time travel.)

My favorite movie is "Somewhere in Time"
with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour,
which involves romance as well as time travel.



I also like romantic comedies like
"Short Circuit" and "Groundhog Day"
(which I watch every February 2nd.)
The Hallmark channel has some nice ones too.



       


My favorite song is
"It Is Well With My Soul."
Check out my blog to read the story behind it.



I mostly listen to Christian praise
music like that on my red player.

       

  I love piano music  


       



I like "Pretty music" which is what I call this collection.



           

                       



I like the novels of Michael Crichton,
Sidney Sheldon & John Grisham, but
my favorite book is the Bible!

I discovered an interesting version called "The Message." I kept saying, "Does it really say that?" so I got a parallel Bible with The Message and NIV so I could compare easily. It is very accurate, but is put in everyday language.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 is very meaningful to me. Here are selections of these words of Paul from The Message: "So I wouldn't get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan's angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees...At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it...then he told me,
"My grace is enough; it's all you need.
My strength comes into its own
in your weakness."
Once I heard that, I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift...I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become."




What color are Ladybugs?
   









       

I love BBQ!

My favorite sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's

Then there's pizza

tacos

fried chicken

At a certain local restaurant I always order
Mandarin Chicken Salad...Mmmmm
(NOT really low-cal!)


Of course I can't forget coffee.

  ...and anything chocolate!  






I discovered an ice cream topping
that is unexpectedly delicious...
MAPLE SYRUP!
(Pure maple, not any old pancake syrup.)






In case you didn't know,
this is how to weigh yourself properly:

Now you know the RIGHT way!

I am obsessed with weather!

I have 3 music players on my page.
1) The red one below is praise & worship music.
2) Scroll down and on the left is "Pretty music", which is classical, piano, etc.
3) Farther down on the right is good ol' rock 'n roll like that of the 70's.

The most important thing in my life
is my friendship with Jesus.

           
My favorite verse is Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God."

       

I am a Christian, and I volunteer as an online crisis counselor for New Hope.
New Hope is a ministry of the Crystal Cathedral, having both phone and online service for crisis intervention. We help to prevent suicides first and foremost, and provide someone to talk with for many hurting people. I spend most of my time at the computer, largely for New Hope, counseling, mentoring, writing a newsletter, etc. www.newhopenow.org (You can also click the New Hope logo above.)

     
I have been very happily married to Allan since 1978, and we have known each other since we were in high school in 1974. He is such a gem, I am blessed!


We have two kids, Rachel and Michael, now in their twenties. Rachel got married August 30, 2008 - welcome to the family, Brandon!

I used to teach piano, and music remains a huge part of my life. As you can tell from my red music player, I love to worship in song!

Over 10 years ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I am open about having it, but when I was writing the info about myself here, it never came to mind. I like to be positive, and that didn't even occur to me. I try to dwell on the good things that have come into my life in spite of or even because of the MS. My involvement with New Hope for one, as it gave me on opportunity to minister when my outside activities became limited. Another thing is meeting my best friend. If we didn't both have MS we never would have known each other. We met online through MS Watch, and were amazed and astounded that we have so much in common. It is almost freaky, to the point where we started a list - which now has over 200 items!

I see here on the Hill that a lot of people have different health issues, so decided that I should say something about that part of my life. I can honestly say:
LIFE IS GOOD and GOD IS GOOD!

I am a bit of a computer nut!
(Does all day every day sound like a 'bit' to you?)



Oh, yes...I like LADYBUGS!


I love my computer!
I like sewing
I do crossword puzzles
and jigsaws both online and in 'real life'
I paint in the 'Bob Ross' style
           
Baking is fun, but then I tend to eat
(which is fun, too!)



I love growing things
       


Ladybugs are good for gardens!



Below is some of the music I liked as a teenager. "Lady" has
always been 'our song' since my hubby and I were dating, and
"Crimson and Clover" is the first song we ever danced to.

   



Did I mention that I like ladybugs?

Hi Cindy...

Just checking in on a few folks I haven't seen or heard from in ages...hope you are having a good summer--not too hot nor humid--and have been able to have some fun & relaxation--as much as you can stand!  Mmmm.  Just noticed your maple syrup as an ice cream topping--sounds yummy!  I like to stir in a spoonful of peanut butter into vanilla ice cream.  Jam is optional!  I'm gonna go make a smoothie 'cause I am done with my walk so now I can drink something...don't dare drink much before I take my walk or I'd wind up not walking very far & have to head back home to the (*ahem*) bathroom...oh what fun.  Anywho, been nice to visit your ladybug page...hope to see you 'round...maybe a short bulletin once in awhile?? 

HUGS!!!
Paula
