Take the Challenge!

Ok. So I really posted this back in December, but it wasn't at the top of my blog long enough for many of you to see it I'm afraid. So I have put it back in the limelight. This is a must do my friends, so get to it because 1. it is sooo much fun, and 2. it lets us learn more about you!

The challenge is simple. You leave a comment at the bottom of this post. I will then give you a letter from the alphabet in which you are to post ten things you like that start with this letter and why. I have been challenged with the letter J. Seems as though it might be a bit tricky, but here goes nothin.

I am giving you the opportunity to not only look inside to find out those things that are at your inner being, but challenging you to share them with the rest of the blogosphere. You can do it! So post your comment and I will send you a letter. I look forward to reading your post, and we all look forward to learning more about you!


1. Jesus

This was the easy one. Jesus as in my Lord and Savior, The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End. He who was sent to die on the cross in order to grant me and you salvation. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

2. Jokes

Jokes emit laughter, and to me laughter is medicine for the soul. Have you ever heard a good joke that you laughed at that made you feel bad? Of course not. Make it a point to do something today that will make you laugh and most importantly someone else.

3.Jubilation

The act of rejoicing: The state of being jubilant; an expression of great joy. This is the way I live my life. Doing things that allow me the inner peace I need to feel this way all the time.

4. Joy

This is the one thing I strive daily to bring into the lives of those around me. It is my feeling that you are not truly happy until you are experiencing joy. Joy is the overwhelming feeling that only God can bless you with. When you experience true Joy you never forget it. Like the days your kids where born, the day you where married, the day you were saved and asked God to come into your heart and take control of your life. These type of events that bring one to tears are the result of true joy.

5. Jalapenos

I love these things. I am one who is big on spicy foods. One of the things I enjoy about this pepper is the anticipation it brings. Analogy from the movie Forrest Gump. "jalapenos are allot like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get". Some are mild, some are sweet, and then some just rock your world! Now that's what I'm talking about!

6. Juvenile

Not fully developed; not yet adult: This is the way I wish that my kids would stay forever. You know innocent, young, full of life. Not having to watch them grow up would be so much easier.

7. Jacuzzi

Do I even need to explain this one? We don't have a spa, but we do have a jacuzzi tub and let me just say, I LOVE THAT THING!

8. Junior

My son is a junior, although my wife would never let anyone call him this much less something like Bubba. Anyway, since he is my son and I love him so much he makes the list. If there was a j word for daughter and wife then they would be here also. Let me also just say that these are in no particular order, for if they were my son junior would have been number two.

9. Jazz

Do I need to explain? It is only some of the best music you will ever put ears to.

10. Jig

I love to watch my kids dance a little jig in the living room when music is on, but especially when it is upbeat. If you have ever watched kids dance, especially your own then you know what I mean. Enough said.


So while I don't feel that I knocked it out of the park, I do feel that I conquered a pretty difficult letter. So remember to click on the post a comment link below and ask to do this challenge and I will send you a letter. Your blogger friends will be glad you did. Go ahead do it!!!! This is a great way to learn more about all those that are in your bloggy circles! After all that is the essence of blogging right?

Great list! I was hoping you would post it and then got caught by the holiday week, okay, trapped in extension cords, but I'm here! I love #9 especially! You are completely right about jazz. (Michael Buble popping up when I clicked on your site helped too.) (Although it is a little strange since my volume was on mute..)
Hope your holidays were happy!

Ok so if I say I'm up for this, does it mean you will give me the hardest letter or will it be in order???
:)

PS I would totally be up for a button swap...I'm hoping to figure out how to do a scrolling thing for buttons so my page doesn't get thirty miles long. I'll let you know when I have it figured out and have grabbed your button!!!
