CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides," remained open for free public tours.

Hi All! Just getting settled after my Outback sojourn. Coming back it seems I'm a banana.

Like a banana, you are tender hearted and sensitive. And the more someone gets to know you, the softer and sweeter you are. You are loving, gentle, and compassionate. You touch others with your warmth, empathy, and understanding.

You are mild-mannered and find it easy to get along with almost anyone. You help harsher personalities mellow out. You are vulnerable and sensitive, but you avoid letting others hurt you with your somewhat hardened exterior. You are tough when you need to be.

You value harmony and togetherness. You like to be in a relationship and usually adore your partner. You don't make waves. If someone annoys or insults you, you rather walk away than cause a scene.

Dragonfruit. Of all your fun personality quizzes, this one was probably the least “me”.

But it’s all good fun.

You Are Dragonfruit Like this 'strawberry pear', you are a sweet and sensitive person. You don't have a mean bone in your body. You have the best intentions, and people know that. Unfortunately, you are sometimes a little too scatterbrained to follow through. You are hyperactive and easily bored. You like to be entertained and stimulated as much as possible. You don't focus well, and you rarely do just one thing at once. You can only get things done if you multitask. You love a good discussion or debate. You find verbal volleying to be a great way to develop new ideas. You are impatient. You don't do well with waiting. If you don't know how something is going to turn out, you often lose interest.

Well kinda sorta. Anyhow, I had to munge the "HTML" to get it to even look this good.

A Missed Lunch

May 22, 2013

For me, food is more than a necessity—it’s a wonderfully enjoyable part of life! I enjoy sitting down to a well-prepared meal, especially when I’m feeling hungry. I imagine that the disciples were hungry for lunch when they returned to the well where Jesus was interacting with the Samaritan woman. They urged Him, “Rabbi, eat” (John 4:31). His response? “I have food to eat of which you do not know” (v.32), which made them wonder if someone had already brought Him something to eat (v.33).

I wonder if the disciples were so consumed with thinking about food that they couldn’t see past their picnic. They didn’t understand the significance of what was going on at the well. The most important thing to Jesus was “to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work” (v.34). He was focused on the spiritual needs of this woman who desperately needed what only He could give.

It’s easy to become preoccupied with needs of the moment. But Jesus invites us to get beyond our own interests—our own little “lunch”—to open our eyes to the souls who are searching for answers to their deepest needs.

So, join Jesus at the well, and let Him use you to tell others about the spiritual food only He can give.

Dear Lord, may my eyes be fixed not just on the things
I am interested in, but lift my eyes to see the
needy souls around me. Give me passion for the lost
and the joy of seeing others satisfied in You.
Be hungry to satisfy the needs of others around you.

Read: John 4:27-38

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.” —John 4:34
Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 16-18; John 7:28-53

You Are a Pineapple
Like a pineapple, you have a tough exterior. You aren't one to be messed with, that's for sure.
But if people peel away your layers, they'll find you're quite sweet on the inside - with a strong inner core.

You have a strong moral fiber. You aren't easily swayed by popular opinion. You have your own ideas about what is right.
You are independent and self-reliant. You are honest with others and never ask too much of them.

It takes you a bit longer to make friends than most people, but the friends you have are for life.
You are quick to act and brave in your decisions. You go with your intuition, and it has rarely led you astray.
