To Know Him hosts Know and Tell Friday, and weβd love to have you join us. The questions this week are:
Question 1
Do you color your hair (give me some background info on this one)?
No. Not yet anyway. π I never had a desire to as I was growing up and in my 20s. My hair was kind of a honey blonde and then started darkening a lot as I got older. I don’t mind that it got darker per se but it became kind of a blah color. I thought about coloring it, but I really, really hate to see people’s roots showing and felt it would drive me crazy trying to keep ahead of that with coloring. Now I do have some gray — a streak on one side and more and more sprinkled throughout. Twice in the last month or so I have been offered a senior citizen discount at restaurants (and I don’t qualify yet!!!) and twice in the last couple of years I’ve been thought to be my youngest’s grandmother. π So I have been thinking about it. A friend recently told me about a type that washes out after 30 days, so that might be a good one to start with.
Question 2
What is one thing that you do with your family (or by yourself) to celebrate Easter?
I wrote about our Easter traditions here, but highlights of the day are the special church services.
Question 3
How old was your oldest living relative (still living or in the past)?
I am not really sure, but I think one grandparent on each side lived into their 80s.
Question 4
What is one thing that can be a “time waster” to you?
The computer.
Question 5
Most annoying bug?
Is there such a thing as a non-annoying bug? I know they have their purpose and I don’t mind them as long as they stay outside and away from me. Even ladybugs lost their appeal a while back when we had an invasion of them. But I guess the top of the list would be roaches, mosquitoes and what my husband calls “no-see-ums” — little things that fly around your eye and head outside in the summer.
Question 6
What does Easter mean to you?
It means to me a confirmation of all that Christ taught about Himself; it proves that there is life after death; it shows that Christ is victorious over death.
Question 7
(Feel free to pass on this question) Is there currently a sin that you are holding onto, and you know you should let go of?
There are some that I struggle with regularly, yes, but I don’t want to go into them here and now. Sometimes in church or after devotions I get to a point of yielding — or at least I think I have — and may have victory a time or two, but then fall right back into old patterns.
(By the way — I am celebrating my 1,000th post with a giveaway here. Hope you’ll check it out!)

Good answers this week, and congrats on your 1000th post. Have a wonderful Easter!!! Blessings!!!
Loved your answers!! I think the first time I was offered a senior citizen’s discount, I would have ran to the nearest store and grabbed a box of hair color.. but that’s me! Congrats on the 1000th post!
Great answer to the Easter question. I do agree with you that the computer can be a time waster when not used properly but it has also saved me much time during research for my postgrad studies. π
