\nYes<\/p>\n
\nThe photo of me in the sidebar was taken at my internship graduation on the UNL campus.<\/p>\n
\nMarie (or Jane or Jo–as in Becky J. Mentner)<\/p>\n
\nN\/A<\/p>\n
\nThankful<\/p>\n
\nNot wearing socks<\/p>\n
\nBlue (but only ’cause I haven’t dressed for the day–I’ll soon be trying to find my red in order to participate in the Husker “Red Out Around the World”)<\/p>\n
\nMy voice. It’s a good thing next week is the University’s fall break–because I currently couldn’t lecture.<\/p>\n
\nOh man–I’d stop the Holocaust, or rewrite the Constitution to emancipate the slaves from the foundation of our country, or prevent the Twin Towers from falling or… There’s so much in history that I’d LIKE to see changed–but I have to believe that God had a purpose even in these horrific events in the past, and that any attempt of mine to change history would only result in bungling it. However, the pages that are still to be written are currently up for grabs–and I’m willing to let God make me an instrument for affecting how the story turns out from here.<\/p>\n
\nA duck<\/p>\n
\nAlmost falling asleep while driving.<\/p>\n
\nRead (Go figure)<\/p>\n
\nNone<\/p>\n
\nGracebug<\/p>\n
\nAlbert Einstein (March 14 is the day for geniuses)<\/p>\n
\nWednesday night, probably<\/p>\n
\nDepends on how you define large audience. And how you define “sung in front of”. I’ve sung on my church’s worship team in the past–but my church is relatively small (80-120 people over the time I’ve been there). <\/p>\n
\nThat’s no secret. To be able to multitask while still gaining maximum in-the-moment-ness with each activity. I have too many goals and not enough time in which to do them. That’s why I plan on living at least to age 120.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t really think about it–I guess it depends on the person. Some people have certain attributes or features that demand first notice. (Unusual hair, large nose, pretty eyelashes, whatever)<\/p>\n
\nIf I’m going to go to a coffee shop, Lincoln has plenty of non-chain local shops with lovely ambience that I’d much rather spend time at. Even then, I generally either buy a steamer or an Italian soda. Unless it’s early enough in the day that I can afford the caffeine.<\/p>\n
\nI once weighed 165 pounds, and thought I was gorgeous at that weight.<\/p>\n
\nDon’t really have one<\/p>\n
\nThat implies that I ever did.<\/p>\n
\nRenoir and Monet prints from calendars. Miscellaneous quotes. Framed verses in calligraphy (done by my childhood pastor’s wife). Sticky notes with various passwords on them (I know, I shouldn’t do that.) A cartoon drawn by my roommate’s little brother. <\/p>\n
\nPhysically, I am a collection of organic and inorganic compounds, mostly carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. These make up the many components of thousands of cells, each of which possess my own unique DNA but which express that DNA in hundreds of different ways. But the physical is the least of what I am, for God, in His great love, breathed into this bag of cells, tissues, and organs the breath of life–something of His very self. And though my image-bearing capacity was marred by the fall, God graciously redeemed this thing called myself and is in the process of remaking me to reflect His Self. <\/p>\n
\nLike Grace said, not really.<\/p>\n
\nFood.<\/p>\n
\nBlessed<\/p>\n
\nNo<\/p>\n
\nNot much<\/p>\n
\nNot much !!!!<\/p>\n
\nSomeone at work. I got over it.<\/p>\n
\nMmm–sometimes we talk, sometimes we just spend time together. But pretty much constantly.<\/p>\n
\nUntil I start sneezing and my nose starts running and my eyes get itchy. If it weren’t for allergies, I’d adore yard work.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t know. Perhaps some day I will meet a man whose name I would delight to take as my own and who would invite me to do so. Should that time come, I’ll let you know.<\/p>\n
\nNot sure how to respond to this one.<\/p>\n
\nWhat you see is what you get. Somewhere between blonde and brown (although I’ve always claimed brown). Depending on the lighting and what else I’m wearing, it may appear to have reddish glints.<\/p>\n
\nGod, through His amazing gift of sisters in Christ<\/p>\n
