38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006.
Even if you stuff it right up, God's grace will pull you through it. And if you let Him, He will help you through it faster than you could get through it in your own strength. Oh, and if you really mean it, He can answer that prayer of not needing the toilet for 12 hours when you're faced with only a hole in the ground!
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"Meant To Live", Switchfoot
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly
[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
[Chorus]
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live
Thanks to Susan |

I like CSI too and that type of program. My father is writing a book on Dr. Who. Really. I think it's just an excuse to watch as many episodes as he can though...
