Day 24 - I pick you!

Day 24: your favorite 10 people right now and why

I'm not even sure I am close-ish to 10 people....

PD- face it, he's awesome.  I admire his care for others- it's manifested in the service he gives.  He's an inspiration.

Soldiers - doesn't have to be just one, right?  Soldiers, in general, are amazing and heroes and greatness...

Mike - people that are Christian, fall away, do bad stuff, and come back are amazing to me.  To me (and maybe only me) they are stronger than those that always had faith- not be be dissing faithful people, but through experience, they know more of the pain that Christ felt, more of the tears He shed, and has more empathy for those experiencing the same thing.  If you never fall, it is so easy to say no.  To someone that has experienced it (and may like it) to say no takes something deeper- and more prolonged suffering and continued rejection.  That person will never regain the original blissful I've-never-done-that-but-it's-wrong-so-I-won't feeling.  They will forever be plagued and tormented by their memories until so much time and forgiveness have passed that the no will come easier.  Easier, but never the same caliber as before.

Debbie - I would love to be as blissful and unaware as her.  The world would be so happy!

Alice- because I forgot about our lunch thing on Friday... (you know you love me and hey- you're listed as one of my favorite people!  Forgive me?)

Dumdi - she always posts inspirational and faithful messages on her Facebook.  I feel so much stronger just feeding off her faith

Ross - because he mastered the convert/never-done-wrong thing.  I can't even imagine Ross doing something wrong.  That might be idealistic, but his faith appears so strong and unwavering.  It's refreshing, especially when my spiritual well runs a little dry.

Maureen - because little morning "I love you!" messages are GREAT!

Mom- because every Relief Society president is someone's hero!  I feel for her especially seeing the poverty and downfall of my hometown.

My pets - because really, you're the ones that have to put up with my everyday.  Forgetting to take you outside, forgetting to feed you, buying cheap, gross food, yelling at you when all you want to do is play, and putting up with my poking you, spinning you, randomly attacking and scaring you!  Peace be with you.
