And once again, it's time for the Rev Gal's Friday Five. And once again, I'm posting it here instead of on my other blog that's actually part of the web ring. But it's NaBloPoMo! And I need a post.
Please answer these five questions about pie:
1) Are pies an important part of a holiday meal?
Of course! It's not Thanksgiving/Christmas without pie!
2) Men prefer pie; women prefer cake. Discuss.
I didn't know this; not sure that it applies to me. I like both pie and cake. James says that it would depend on the cake/pie being offered. I take that to mean in general, he likes both.
3) Cherries--do they belong in a pie?
Oh, yes. I love cherry pie!
4) Meringue--if you have to choose, is it best on lemon or chocolate?
Lemon. Definitely lemon.
5) In a chicken pie, what are the most compatible vegetables? Anything you don't like to find in a chicken pie?
Carrots, peas, green beans, onions....I don't like beans, so wouldn't want to find those in a pie.

Unexpected Thanksgivings
The RevGals are focusing on Thanksgiving for this Friday Five. (NOTE: I'm a member of the web ring via another blog I own. Since I'm mostly writing over here right now, I'll do the Friday Five here. I'm sure they won't mind)
Name five things in your life that were unexpected for which you are now grateful
1. My little brother, Bart. From what my mom has told me, she had pretty much given up on having a second child. She was going to have a tubal ligation done (I don't know if she was still contemplating it or had actually been to the doctor for a consult) when she found out that she was pregnant with Bart. Although Bart's disability and health issues have certainly made things a little more difficult (especially for my parents, who have born the brunt of it), I can really see how God's grace has shown through Bart and touched our family.
2. Winding up at my undergraduate alma mater and absolutely loving it. I had my heart set on another school, a small womens college in North Carolina. I had been accepted there and had already sent in my deposit to reserve my spot in the freshman class. But for some reason (possibly my lackluster grades and the equally lackluster financial aid I was offered), my parents insisted on taking me on an official visit to E&H. By the end of the visit, the financial aid office had increased the amount of aid and I had decided that I could be happy there. I actually planned on transferring someplace else after a year (where, I don't know), but by the second day of freshman orientation I knew I didn't want to leave. It was at E&H that I found a renewed relationship with God, discovered and answered a call to ministry, and met people who are dear, dear friends to this day.
3. Our first dog, Woody. James and I stopped at a Humane Society on a whim one afternoon and found Woody. We didn't take him home because we wanted to think about it, and then James said he wanted to wait a few more months before getting a dog. I agreed, although I was disappointed because I had really liked Woody. The very next day, James surprised me by bringing home Woody. I was absolutely delighted. It's the nicest thing he's ever done for me.
4. My CPE residency. After I finished my first unit of CPE in 2005, I knew I wanted to do more CPE, possibly a residency. However, I planned to wait until after I had been ordained and maybe when my children (planned, but unborn as of yet) were older. However, then Danville-gate happened and I was in need of both healing and a ministry venue (I had been offered an appointment by the Annual Conference, but turned it down because it was further west than Danville). My residency offered both, and I am very thankful for both my supervisor and colleagues.
5. Greg. I've already said it best here.
