1.  Don't pray for humility unless you mean it.  And don't pray for authenticity unless you want a side dish of humility.
   
2. I am obsessed with ice, especially, but not limited to, Sonic ice.  Which you can buy.  In a bag, for $1.39.
3. I have and/or babysit the loudest children in the world.  Honest.  If I didn't already know that, seeing as how I am with them 24 hours a day, people who call me on the phone feel compelled to tell me that all the time.   "Your children are loud."  Umm, hello, I am in the room with them.  Who are you telling?
   
4. Children will argue about anything.  If they run out of things to fight about, they will find something ridiculous to argue about, such as which side of your body the haircut lady clips the smock on.  I kid you not.
5. You can play "Seek Ye First" with Pachelbel's Canon.
6. Also, "You Are My All in All."
7. You can play "Seek Ye First" against "You Are My All in All" and it sounds really  good.  (If  your 12 year old can transpose it so they are in the same key.  Which he did.  Which impressed me.)
8. I bet all 3 together would rock the house.
9. When I majored in English, my least favorite form of literature was drama.  Now I am actively involved in writing, directing and occasionally even acting in all kinds of skits, sketches and plays.  Who knew?
10. God can use any little crumb of talent you have if you yield it to Him.  He can glorify Himself in all kinds of creative ways.
11. How in the world did Blake make it to the top 2?  I am glad Jordin beat him, she is very talented.  But Melinda was robbed.
12. I get to see my nephew this weekend for the first time.  We are meeting Jason's brother and wife and baby in Atlanta on Saturday.
13. I have 28,000+ pictures on my hard drive.  I'm not kidding.  My huband backed about half of them up on cd's but I need to get busy.

On a par with 9 I said I didn't want to write a novel as it was too much hard work. So now I've almost written a novel...

Thanks for stopping by my TT at http://impworks.blogspot.com/

Neat T13 today! I like seemingly random lists like this one; they are a neat insight into someone else's brain.

Off to hum the Pachelbel Canon now... Thanks for visiting West of Mars!

Great list and valuable insights especially about yeilding your talents. Pastor had a sermon on that very topic this week!

I dunno! I think my toddler could take your kids in screaming. He has this ear piercing scream of joy/anger/anything at all that I swear is going to completely destroy my ability to hear before he grows out of it!

Your post made me laugh several times. ;) Is Sonic ice the little tiny pieces? If so, I LOVE it! I definitely know who has the best ice in town.

I happen to have 3 quiet children and one loud one. Man, that loud one can sure raise a ruckus. But I know a mom with 6 kids who are THE loudest ever. Sweet and darling, but loud. They sure come in all sorts.

oh, and I boycotted the finale of AI because Melinda was robbed. (but I snuck peaks....)

Oh, don't pray for patience either. God has a sense of humor. He gave me toddler twins.

I love Sonic ice!

Thanks for visiting my TT!

What a fun TT list...your children are gorgeous so what if they are loud ha!

I liked Blake but I thought Melinda should have won!

All good random thoughts and even bits of wisdom. I like the one especially about talent and giving it up to a higher power and all talent is used!
