Tag for Grown-Ups
January 15th, 2007 by Sonja

Jamie at MoreThanStone tagged me in a meme … it’s a fun one, so I’m being compliant 😉 but I’m a day late and a dollar short because I’ve been lagging behind in my blog reading. Sorry about that Jamie.

1) What’s the most fun work you’ve ever done, and why?

My most fun work ever was when I was a member of the word processing pool at Prison Fellowship. I got to type Chuck Colson’s Breakpoint episodes and I got in good with guys in the IT department. They used to give me all the new software to try out and learn first before installing it throughout the organization. There was no pressure at that job, I just showed up, did a good job for a good reason and went home. It was pretty neat.

2) A. Name one thing you did in the past that you no longer do but wish you did?

Rode my bicycle everywhere. I used to ride my bike as an adult in the city to work and back and I was fit. I wish I rode my bike more and had a reason to.

B. Name one thing you’ve always wanted to do but keep putting it off?

Visit Scotland, Ireland and northern England. OR … take the LightChildren to Yellowstone.

3) A. What two things would you most like to learn or be better at, and why?

I want to learn how to take photographs and turn them into quilts. I also want to learn/become better at mediation. I started learning this in college, but that was a long time ago … I want to revisit it and grow it.

B. If you could take a class/workshop/apprentice from anyone in the world living or dead, who would it be and what would you hope to learn?

I’d want to apprentice under Mahatma Gandhi because I want to learn his abilities to speak peace, redemption and reconciliation into hate and anger.

4) A. What three words might your best friends or family use to describe you?

smart, scattered, silly

B. Now list two more words you wish described you…

wisdom, tact

5) What are your top three passions? (can be current or past, work, hobbies, or causes)

Like Jamie, it’s my blog and I’m the boss of me … so, I’m changing this question to—

Assuming love of God and love of family, what are your top three passions?

Redemption, history, fabric (not necessarily in that order) 😉

6) Write–and answer–one more question that YOU would ask someone

What is your vision for bringing about the Kingdom in the here and now?

You know that horrid bumper sticker campaign about random acts of kindness? Yeah … that’s my vision. If everyone (including me) were on the lookout for the random acts of kindness they could do and smiles they could give out each day I think we’d be a step closer every day.

So … now I get to tag a few people. Here goes nothing. I tag … J4CK13, Kievas, Princess of Everything, and Becky … have fun stretching out to this. It really is good. :-)

    Sonja,

    Great stuff, as usual….

    Is your geneology Scottish/Irish/English? Or do you just think it would be fun? We had a chance to go to Scotland and it was fabulous. Living in the States, we miss out on the depth of History that so many other countries have…

    Hey, Jamie … yep … I’m almost all English (northern England) with a little Scots thrown in a couple generations ago. My husband has some Scots and Irish and a little English … soooo … we’ve been wanting to go since we got married almost 20 years ago.

    Hi from another smart and scattered, but rarely silly person!

    Redemption is a passion of mine also.
