Gracie's Ask Me Anything Thread

When was the last time you heard someone say "YOLO", not counting just now?

 

[graciesings]

I don't know. It's everywhere... I think the way people apply it is pretty stupid. Like, "You only live once so waste the time you have!"

When was the last time you said "Swag?"

 

[graciesings]

I don't think I say that word. I use very little slang when I'm speaking.

How do you feel about the Churches of Christ?

You said you were into genealogy, so who is you favorite/coolest ancestor?

 

[sunshineforJesus]

whats your fave color?

 

[scraparcs]

Have you ever said something was hip?

 

[Zach91]

Math. I'm trying to certify to teach math at a high school level.

That's a wise career ambition, math teachers are in high demand! I envy you, math and I get along like a cobra and a mongoose.

I would really like to meet Joe Raspberry Essary, the half-breed Indian scout who showed Stephen F. Austin how to get to Texas in 1819. He would be interesting to know. I'm also fascinated by the Sephardic Jews who left Spain around the time of the Inquisition.

I'm also related to a bunch of early Quakers, who probably knew a lot of interesting skills. I would love to learn how to card wool, spin thread, milk goats, etc. from some of the early settlers in Pennsylvania.

whats your fave color?

Any color! I like medium bright tones, like cyan, the blue that this forum is, the purple in my signature, and pinks that are about that bright.

Have you ever said something was hip?

Maybe. I try to say things that are either funny, useful, or profound.

It's not always the easiest subject but I like a challenge. I'm also used to teaching younger siblings.

Not with anyone outside the family. But my (3 yrs younger) brother and I, we tackle each other all the time.

Have you ever eaten a taco?

 

[graciesings]

Of course! (I don't think I've met anyone who hasn't, Texas and Colorado are that way.)

I love tacos. I even know how to fry taco shells, and they're the best.

Sorry, I didn't realize I'd skipped this until just now.

Church of Christ... I am not fond of their denomination. They seem to preach a works based salvation. The local Church of Christ had a sign up last week that said, "All must die. Only the obedient will live forever." I see how that makes sense, but their theology is all too close to that. Obey the Bible's rules. Be a good person

I also dislike the way some groups are against instruments in worship. I think in a way they're very correct. I've seen good churches ruined by a LOOK AT ME! praise band. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with having an organ or piano in a church, especially if it's done in such a way that attention is focused away from the instrumentalists. There's nothing wrong with using good music to glorify God.

I do not know enough about their views on sacraments to answer that.

I suspect that they use the Protestant 66-book Bible. I do not like that, I believe the Deutrocanon should be included in scripture.

Any other ideas I should address?

I think the woman from the Old Testament that I would pick would either be Eve (because she must have been lonely for other female company!) or Sarah, Abraham's wife. It seems that Sarah was a very wise woman and probably knew a lot of things that I would love to learn.

The man I would most like to meet would be

I just thought of Solomon. YES. No. Wait a minute. A rich king with a thing for women...

What really matters.

Ok, I pick Noah. He's another person from whom I could learn a great deal.
