Hubby tagged me with this so here goes. 1. What translation of the Bible do you like best? ESV, modern English that preserves so much of the poetic nature of the original texts. I love it. 2. Old or New Testament? What hubby said, "Uh ... they're both the Bible. I spend more time in the Old Testament just because it's bigger and takes longer to get through." 3. Favorite Book of the Bible? Proverbs. I just spent a few years going through Proverbs with my Bible study group. It really grew on me. 4. Favorite Chapter? Isn't a favourite book enough? 5. Favorite Verse? Proverbs 17:1. Not because it's particularly encouraging but because I've experienced it to be so true. 6. Bible character you think you're most like? Most are so dysfunctional that I try not to be too much like any of them. Maybe Timothy's mom because her kid turned out alright (2 Timothy 1:5). 7. One thing from the Bible that confuses you? I wouldn't say I'm conf...

I've recently been bitten by the Harry Potter bug. I'm really looking forward to the next movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix . Hubby and I are about halfway through the book. I've told my sisters that we all have to be in the same city this summer when it hits the theater. I've sorted them out into Hogwarts houses already and made them Christmas presents in their house colours. Having said all of that I present you with several Hogwarts sorting quizzes. Three placed me as Hufflepuff and one (based on Myers-Briggs personality types) placed me as Ravenclaw. I guess I'm not quite reckless enough for Gryffindor. Check out the Leaky Cauldron .
