Question: If you could be any character in any fiction book, which character would you choose and why? (Answers in alphabetical order).
Alli:
Jo March from Little Woman and Little Men. She is such a strong and unique woman who goes against the flow. She is loyal to a fault and brings spark to everyone she knows. She is intelligent, well-spoken and gutsy. And she gets the guy =)
Dani:
I would like to be Maggie from Maggie's Dare because she reminds me of myself in alot of ways, but at the same time, she is what I strive to become. She isn't afraid to take risks even when her choices may be unpopular. And she gets the guy =)
Jessa:
There are actually two characters that I would like to be because I just couldn't decide which one to choose! First one would have to be Arwen from Lord of The Rings. I mean, she's an elf, how cool is that?! Everything from her language to her pointy ears to her dresses are absoloutly stunning! She's graceful, courageous, and a great horse rider! Then my second choice is Keely from Disney Channel's Phil of the Future. (It's not a book but, hey it's fictional!)Keely is a teenager who is a free spirit and doesn't care what others think of her. She is energetic, spunky, full of life, and a great friend. She is always willing to help others, even at the cost of her own comfort. And they both get the guy =)
Katy:
Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Predjudice because her descisions are governed by her heart rather than society's expectation's. And she gets Mr. Darcy =)
Lyds:
Allison beat me to the chase for my first choice! I will have to go with Lucy from the Chronicles of Narnia. She discovers a new world where animals talk and magic potions cure any wound! Plus, she gets to ride a lion. She doesn't get a guy but, hey, she becomes queen!
Readers, we would love to get to know you better too, so why don't you share your answer with us in the comment section!

HELP! :)
Hi readers! We're doing a little bit of revamping and 'redecorating' here at the 5 Peas blog. We finally figured out how to add individual authors (see 'Contributors') but we can't manage to figure out how to arrange the authors in order!! If anyone knows how, please post your suggestions here.
Bear with us. :)

Be Thankful
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over head, and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, spare change in a dish some place and a nice car/truck/motorcycle in the garage..... you are among the top 8% of the world's most wealthy.
If you woke up this morning in good health, you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle unfolding all around you, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing inthat someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remindothers how much we really have to be thankful for.

Fresh Beginnings
Hi Everyone.
Can you believe that another Christmas holidays has gone by in what seems like a flash?! And now what looms ahead for most of us SA students (unless you're a SA university student, like a couple lovely sisters of mine who only go back the middle of Feb!) is another brand new school year. I realize that some of you foreign readers may be in the middle of a grade, but you also are starting back up again after a nice Christmas break, I hope.
I admit that starting on Day 1 can be kind of daunting and depressing, but it can also be exciting! The beginning of the school year, in my life at least, marks the real beginning of the year, because it's not only the time that we start a new school grade, but that's also when all the other activities our lives consist of go back to normal. The church schedule goes back to normal, youth meetings start up again as well as other ministries you might be involved in, sports seasons begin or resume, etc. It's the time of fresh beginnings! Look back on all the areas of your life from last year, and be grateful for the successes in those areas, as well as resolve to improve yourself this year in those areas where improvement is needed. And, if you're like me, improvement is always needed! Let's be passionate about all that we spend our time on: our schoolwork, ministries, other church involvement, friendships, extra-curricular activities, as well as the new things we'll venture to do this year. May we guard ourselves from falling into laziness. May glorifying God be the driving motive behind all of our ambitions for this year. And let's remember, as one of my family's pastors reminded the congregation in a recent sermon, that the way to determine whether or not each day, year, or our life was a success is by examining how our relationship with Christ grew and how we fought the spiritual battles that we faced. 2 Tim 4:7--"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
Here are some more words from the wise on school/learning to inspire and humor you:
I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma. ~Eartha Kitt
This one's especially for you public and private schoolers.=) For us homeschoolers--this explains a lot about our mothers:
If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. ~Edgar W. Howe
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ~Alvin Toffler
A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all. ~Rita Mae Brown
Have a great year you guys!
