Tag, I'm It!

Sarah tagged me, and while I normally don't participate in tag memes, this one sounded easy :)

I am supposed to list six things I value and six things I do not value.
So, in no particular order they are...

Things I Value:

Integrity, both in myself and others.

My awesome church, I am accepted and loved.

Friendships that spur me on in my walk with Christ.

The faithfulness of my husband, and his drive to provide for us and love us.

My handsome sons and adorable daughter, who are much more than I could have ever dreamed of.

Oh, and of course, the most important of them all: Jesus! Who died on the cross for my sins, was resurrected and is alive in me today!

Things I Do Not Value:

Doing laundry. OK, I am being brutally honest here, I loathe laundry. However, until I can hire a maid to do it for me (HAHAHA) I am stuck as the designated laundry lady. Plus, there are certain people in this household who simply MUST have clean socks and underwear!

Entertainment technology. We still live in the Dark Ages over here. No iPhones, actually, no cell phones period! No Wii. No Playstation. No cable. We chose to remain unplugged from all of that. We only watch DVD's that we borrow from the library (this speaks to our frugality not our convictions about television). Our kids only watch VeggieTales and similarly approved videos. We find that the less TV we and our children watch, the more content we are with what we have.

Dishonesty. No need for further elaboration here.

Popularity contests. I place no value on how much you make, what clothes you wear, what car you drive or where you live. That is not who you are. Simply the outside trappings...er..wrappings. As someone who was judged only on my outside appearance when I was younger (weren't we all geeky when we were younger?) I understand what it feels like to be deemed "un-cool".

Bugs in my house. This includes but is not limited to: fruitflies, ants, spiders, silverfish, beetles, flies, wasps, or any other creepy things!

Watches. I do not own a watch and probably never will. I can't stand to have something on my wrist. Which also means that I don't wear bracelets either! Not owning a watch does mean that I have to rely on the kindness of strangers to tell me the time when I am out and about. Because I don't own a cell phone either...lol.

Eenie meenie miney moe...I tag Jennifer at Peaceful Living who happens to be my dear friend. We'll have to give her a little bit of a longer time frame because she is planning a friend's wedding and she is down to the deadline.

Thanks for stopping by, and thank you Sarah for the tag! I had fun :)
