Wednesday Hodgepodge for 11/6/24

 From this Side of the Pond


1. What is one good thing you often take for granted? 

My good health and not having fibromyalgia like my mom. 

2. What's the boldest piece of clothing in your wardrobe? 

 I dress for comfort. I’m not an exhibitionist. 

3. Do you think common interests or common values are the key to people getting along? Elaborate. 

Common values are important, but I don’t believe people will ever be able to get along, at least not until Jesus steps on earth—when every knee will bow and every tongue confesses Jesus Christ as Lord. 


4. November 6 is National Nacho Day...do you like nachos? How do you like yours? Do you make them at home or only order out? 

I like nachos. We have nachos for dinner many times.  They are easy to make at home, and I can add all the extras I like! I've never ordered out for nachos. 

5. Have you spent any time in Washington D.C.?  If so what did you think? If not, is that a place you'd like to visit? What do you think about politics as a career choice? 

Yes, I have visited a couple of times. I always enjoyed DC and would love to go back. 

I’m not impressed with politicians 

and I don’t have a strong opinion on politics as a career choice.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Faith without Works is dead!

  1. Flying into DC one time in the dark was awesome. Seeing all of the national monuments lit was amazing overhead. I prayed to God that he would steer our nation into right path this election. A historic election where the Republicans control everything now. Lets hope they do the right thing now. Janice

    1. We always drove in from California so flying in seeing all the lights on the monuments would have been awesome. Took us 3 weeks, and we visited family and drove into NYC (which was a mistake) and DC was awesome.

  2. Your hodgepodge answers were all pretty much in line with how I would have answered. My boldest piece of clothing is a pair of leggings that are black and orange. I don't wear them often, but when I do, I wear a long Black sweat shirt with them. LOL.. Nachos are a favorite around here, but we don't have them often because of Sam's liver issue. Absolutely ....Faith without works is Dead. Sending you hugs today...

  3. I totally agree about people never getting along. The bible says there will always be wars, too. I was born and raised in D.C.!

    1. The Bible also says we’ll always have the poor too.
      Wow that must have been a fun place to grow up. I bet you’ve seen a lot.

  4. I agree with your assessment that humans cannot permanently and peacefully coexist with each other

  5. Great answers. I've driven through DC and visited a few things, but really never wanted to be near all the traffic and hype of it. I prefer to watch it from a great distance.

  11. Ummm, nachos are so good. We have them often for dinner at home too. I have never ordered out for them.
    I have been to DC a couple of times. One as chaperones for our high school church group. We were going to the DC 88 youth convention. Awesome time being a tourist and staying on a property on Capitol Hill. The other time I was there was as a tour guide for a group from the UK. We only spent a few days there before moving on, but it was fascinating to see things from another perspective.
    I'm not impressed with politicians either and would never want to be one.
    Praying for our Nation and those in authority now.

  14. Interesting answers to the questions you wrote.
    I've never been to Washington D.C. even though it would be good to be there. I've seen it online though. I did watch a video that Franklin Graham put up when the statue of Billy Graham was put in an area of the white house. That's Franklin's dad. I wear cozy clothes as well and have bought two new flannel shirts. It's been cold lately but more sun today which was good to see again. Books are cheaper when I get them for free. I rarely get books as I have enough to read and do bible study.

    1. I don’t have time to read books. Same with me, the only book I study is the Bible.

  15. I like your answer to number 3. So true!

  16. Thanks for your visit. I'm all for dressing for comfort too.

  17. This was a thoughtful and reflective post! It’s great how you appreciate your health, something many of us often take for granted. Your perspective on common values and the importance of faith is a powerful reminder of how deeply personal beliefs shape our worldview. Plus, I love that you make nachos at home—there's something special about customizing them just how you like!

    I just shared a blog, please let me know what you think: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/11/why-duex-float-portable-monitor-is-game-changer.html

  19. I enjoyed your answers. I too dress for comfort. I laughed because In my answer i wrote I didn't have anything bold...but then realized I'm sitting here wearing a blue pair of leggings that could be considered bold and I do have a few pair of lularoe leggings that are definitely bolder in their patterns
