Returning to those all important questions...

I’m back!

So, after an extended week away, I am ready to return with vengeance in order to scrape back the lead that Matt has so kindly given himself. I had an amazing week at beach mission with full days on the beach sharing God’s word, playing games, singing songs, sharing memory verses, playing Zonko and all manner of other things whilst gently browning myself, finished off with an extra day or so with Beth and Josh mainly. However, I’m not quite sure how to use one of Matt’s questions to tell you about Beach Mission in great detail so I’m just going to jump straight back into answering questions!

12. If you had to choose between your eyes and your ears…?

This is a hard question. I mean, genuinely hard. It’s like being told to choose between children. I guess the best way to decide is to see which I can least live without…

• ·         Ears give you music. I very rarely go a day without listening to or singing some kind of music whether it’s my mp3 or singing at church or singing on the beach on beach mission. I'm always humming tunes. I can’t imagine life without music pulsating around me. It would just be so quiet.
• ·         Ears mean you can hear what people are saying to you. You can talk over Skype and on the phone, it makes communicating so much easier and quicker and it means everyone else don’t have to learn sign language!
• ·         Ears mean I can listen to audio books, particularly Doctor Who audio books read by David Tennant…. (Although I have to admit I prefer reading books. Which requires eyes…)
• ·         Ears mean I can appreciate wonderful regional accents…
• ·         Eyes mean I can see the beauty of creation, appreciate beautiful butterflies, pretty flowers, awesome animals and stunning scenery.
• ·         Eyes mean I can do art. Sure, you can technically make art without eyesight but I wouldn't be able to paint and draw like I love to.
• ·         Eyes mean I can read and watch TV programs. Audio books and audio description only compensates so much.
• ·         A person with no eyes is more obviously different than a person with no ears. Well, girls at least with their hair down.
• ·         My eyes are already slightly malfunctioning… I need glasses but not hearing aids…
• ·         I could get glass eyes so I don’t look so silly…. Then again I could also get prosthetic ears.

In conclusion… am I ready to come to a conclusion? In conclusion, I think I’d rather keep my ears over my eyes. I love music just that bit too much. I’m just going to have to teach myself to play music by ear if I can’t read the music for playing my flute…
