Who is your favorite hero of fiction?
Pipi Longstocking! She is so cool ,and strong and has red hair! She has a pet monkey and her father is the
chief of the natives of Kurrekurredutt Isle ! AWESOME!
She is very unconventional, assertive, and extraordinarily strong, being able to lift her horse one-handed without difficulty. She frequently mocks and dupes adults she encounters, an attitude likely to appeal to young readers; however, Pippi usually reserves her worst behavior for the most pompous and condescending of adults.

People who speak with authority on subjects they know nothing about, such as indian culture and missions.

In my sleep, one day after my husband, so I do not have to live without him.

Just do it! Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

This is a good one, so I'm stealing it!
You and I have the same self-perceived weaknesses. Just today I had to BADGER myself to act compassionately toward someone. It's pretty pathetic that I have to deliver an entire sermon to myself to call someone for 10 minutes and help relieve their loneliness. Sheesh!
And let's not talk about procrastination on this, the first day of the new year. All I have accomplished today is...um...well...delivering a sermon to myself and making one ten minute phone call!
This tells me so much about you, Rita. And I admire you even more now... You are a giving, talented lady and I feel honored that you read my blog and to have met you!
I hope that you start to feel at home in Paraguay in this new year 2009, and wish you many blessings in the work that you are doing!
Hi Rita, I got a link to your site off of our website. It was posted by Brendaparaguay. Great questions and wonderful website. I'm going to have to take your list and think about how I would answer them. Happy New Year! I'll be back to your site because I want to find out more about your adventures.
Those are great questions! You gave some great answers! You may see it on my blog, of course, with my answers! :-)

That was good! I enjoyed reading that and discovering a few more things we have in common.
and I am proud to call you FRIEND!
I just love that groovyoldlady!
This was a great, thoughtful meme. I might take a stab at it later.
Your fascination with Pippi Longstockings as a young girl all makes sense now!! It was prophetic that you would be an assertive, red head dealing with tribes!
Good meme.....makes me think, thanks!
A good meme -- and thanks for not tagging anyone.
Happy New Year, Jungle Mom! May 2009 bring more evidence of the harvest of souls.
Good article, good things, good feelings, good BLOG!
