1. What is your favorite Bible verse?

Without a doubt, I would have to say Romans 8: 37-39: "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither life nor death, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the lobe of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

2. Would you sacrifice your life if it would save that of a strangers?

As a Christian, I know what is waiting for me on the Other Side. If I had the chance to save the life of another human, possibly one who doesn't know the Lord, I think I would. Maybe through my sacrifice, they will come to see the ultimate sacrifice Christ made.

3. Given the chance to swim with dolphins...would you accept?

Absolutely! Fish and deep water freak me out, but I'd brave it if it meant I could swim with dolphins. 

4. Are you more "Fascinated" by light or darkness? Why?

Shadows. Dark. Blackness. Shade. Every time I hear those words, I get a tingle. I am definitely more fascinated by darkness. Light illuminates, while the darkness hides, keeping you guessing at what secrets it's keeping. It's a mystery, and I love mysteries. 

5. Can you speak in a different accent?

I could keep up either an Australian or English accent for a few minutes (though one usually evolves into the other) and can say a few sentences in a Scottish or Cockney accent. 

6. Would you rather be disliked or forgotten?

If I was disliked for the right reasons, I would rather be remembered as the annoying pest who wouldn't shut up about Jesus, than the girl who didn't bother to raise her voice.

7. Has the ocean ever filled your dreams?

I once dreamed I was in a deep, deep lake, that had huge waves like a sea. It was bluer and clearer than the sky, set in sandstone beside a high cliff. It would have been a very serene dream if it weren't for the fact that I was drowning and woke up gasping for breath...

8. Assuming you have one, how often is your journal put to use?

Barely ever. Unless my soul is in tumult and my emotions are so jumbled all I need is to distract myself with writing, get my thoughts out on paper even if they don't make any coherent sense... Then, maybe. I just really stink at journaling. 

9. What is your favorite fictional character of all time?

No. No, no, no, no. I cannot answer this question. I have too many favorite characters--Eustace Clarence Scrubb, Bilbo Baggins, Hermione Granger, Prince Jaron, Percy Jackson, Puck, Sherlock Holmes, Henry York, Cyrus and Anitgone Smith. It's like asking me which is my favorite parent, or sibling, or memory. It's impossible to pick one. 

10. What is your favorite hymn?

Oh the Deep Deep Love of Jesus, On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand, Mighty Lord Extend Your Kingdom, As the Deer Panteth for the Water... And a lot more. :)

Thanks again, to Myra, for awarding me! This was so much fun, and I think one of these days I'm going to create some really random blogger award and give it to each and every one of you guys. Any suggestions? I serious here... :)

Sincerely, 

~The Scribbler in the Attic
