Blog Journal--Day #5--Favorite Quote

I'm sure there are a million quotes I could post here that have touched me at some point in life. A quote that always has stuck with me is by one of my favorite authors C.S. Lewis.

"You don't have a soul.

You are a Soul.

You have a body."

To me this quote reflects the simple belief that it is what is on the inside that really counts. Our souls are so much more valuable then our bodies. So why do we obsess so much about our bodies? They are only outward. Are we not so much more then that?

Blog Journal--Day #4--Favorite Book

I am a book worm so making me pick just ONE favorite book is like torture! I have the hardest trouble picking just one.

But when it comes right down to it the book that symbolizes my beliefs in a nut shell is The Bible.

It's pages have granted me comfort in the hardest of times. I know that in an ever changing world this book will always remain the same.

The Bible is a book I come back to time after time because I learn something new with every read.

Blog Journal--Day #3--Favorite TV Show

I have lots of guilty pleasures but I'd have to say one TV show stands above the rest at this point in time is...

Dancing with the Stars!!!

Blog Journal--Day #2--Favorite Movie

My favorite movies tend to be the oldies. They just don't make 'em like they used to. So my fav of all time is Holiday Inn.

My favorite recent movie was most defiantly The Blind Side. Gotta love the story line and my girl Sandra  Bullock.

Blog Journal--Day #1--Favorite Song

When other 14 year olds were listening to N’Sync and Hanson I was jammin’ out to Counting Crows and Van Morrison.

My dad (a former morning show DJ turned grade school principal) always had a great taste in music. I would raid his music stash more often than I would my peer’s collections.

Although it pains me to pick only one favorite song I will have to go with a Counting Crows number. And because I’ve always been able to tap my feet to this one I’m going to pick "Hangin Around" from the “This Desert Life” album.
