Angie’s Favorites

We hope you are enjoying these weekly feature posts from the authors of Inspired by Life…and Fiction. We’re sharing some of our favorite things to help you get to know us a little better—and we’d love to hear your answers to these “favorites” questions in the comments below.

Favorite Candy: My favorite candy is a new one, I think—somebody invented it, and I’m only glad it wasn’t around when I was a kid, or I’d have no teeth. It’s soft and chewy nerds, otherwise known as Nerds Gummy Clusters. It is the perfect mix of tart and sweet, and they’re addictive—only problem is, they make my teeth really sensitive, so I can’t eat as many as I’d like to. (Though I shouldn’t be eating all that sugar, anyway). But if you haven’t tried them, you don’t now what you’re missing! 

Favorite Sport (to watch or play): I am NOT a sports person. If I had to choose a favorite sport, I’d say “board games” or “charades” or “horseback riding”—and you can do those things sitting down, right?  I remember in fifth grade, our PE class had a relay where each team member had to run down a court, toss a basketball into the hoop, and run back. I couldn’t get the ball through the hoop to save my life. My teammates were counting, and they were up to thirty-two tries before the game was over (and we lost). I overheard one girl say that I was just “too ladylike” to play sports. I don’t know about that, but at least now I can put a basketball through the hoop—in fact, we have one in the front yard. 🙂 

I do love horseback riding, though I hardly ever get to do it, so I watch lots of YouTube videos about horses and live vicariously through people who raise horses. It’s not very good for a cardio workout, but I’ve learned a lot about horses. :-). 

Favorite Scripture Verse: This changes from time to time, but for now I’d have to say Daniel 11:32b: “but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” I think that sort of says everything. 
And another favorite—I even stenciled this on my kitchen wall once—is Proverbs 30:8-9. This has certainly proven true in my life—no riches, no poverty, but the Lord supplies what we need.  I love that!  Here’s an image in case you want to use it on your computer!
