Christina Lyons I couldn't agree more. I treasure my prayer and devotion time spent with Him daily, and through all of my trials He has guided me and loved me.

We all have that one thing, we cannot give up. For me it's great food! After I've graduated, I went through a period of poverty. Massive student loans to pay off and limited means. The only thing that kept me happy was my...

Christina Lyons Ask me this 10 years ago and my answer would have been quite different. Something trivial like Internet access or coffee. At times in the past decade though, I've gone without so much... A place to live, a car... Gone without food for days. What's always been...

some people are sick of their countries because of the government BS and stuff. But leave apart all of the country problems, do you love your country? Do you feel patriotic? And if you could, would you change your nationality, or...

Christina Lyons I do love my country. Of course there are problems and corruption in our government but you'll see that anywhere, certainly more so in some countries. My dad fought in the Korean War and was shot three times, I will never say I don't love the country he fought...

I try to drink water, but I must admit I will usually drink other beverages if they are around. I really like a powerded ice tea drink. That is really one of my favorites. What do you usually drink with your meals? Is it healthy?

I am really shocked because know I realize that I am one of the few people in Portugal that doesn't drink coffee. And I noticed this because I started working and I always have to explain to people that I don't drink coffee....

Christina Lyons I was a coffee addict for most of my life. Into my second week now of trying to kick the habit. I love the taste and just felt like I needed it every morning. My husbands with you though, he won't go near the stuff.

I'm a week in on giving up coffee cold turkey. Eventually I'll allow myself a cup as a treat but for right now I'm a teetotaler, so to speak. It's been a week and actually, it's going great! This morning my husband pointed out...

I've been trying to work this out lately! As I feel I waste too much time sleeping! I sleep on average 8-10hrs, but I know I can do with sleeping 6 if needed. So, am curious, how much sleep do you need? And how much sleep can...

Christina Lyons I could actually get 13 hours a night and still be tired. I do the functional adult thing and force myself up after 7 or 8 hours though. It works out fine, but sometimes I need a nap in the late afternoon. Surely I'm not the only sloth out there....

Fall is on the air and the weather is beginning to change. Here in Virginia, I've noticed a big change with the weather. This summer we had to deal with 80 and 90 degree weather, but now temps are in the 70s. Despite the cooler...

Christina Lyons I wanted to wear my summer clothes as long as possible, but with highs in just the 60s I had to bite the bullet and put the shorts away. Michigan is awesome but sometimes I miss the weather of southern California, Nevada, and Arizona where I've spent most of...

Just a little cloudy here today but warm. I like to think that even though I've been out of school for 15 years, that the transition from summer to fall can be a time for personal transition as well. Its a time for me to reflect...

Christina Lyons @moffittjc Winter can get pretty brutal here but not nearly as bad as winter in the UP. I'm actually not a native Michigander, only lived here 5 years now, so I'm not super passionate about any of our teams, but my husband grew up in Michigan and always loved...

A perfect life for me would be to have a lovely wife with beautiful children, to have a descent house and car, to have my family and my best friends besides me. What would be the perfect life for you?

Christina Lyons My perfect life would have a lot of the same components as my life now, but I would add a few things. My son would still be alive. A parent shouldn't have to bury their child. My parents would still be alive, at least until they're old enough for death to be...

So often I see, hear or read, "I'm a Christian.".....OK, but why do you have to tell us that? I am Catholic - I don't go around saying, "I'm Catholic." If I ask you what religion/faith you are and you say, "I'm Christian"...

Christina Lyons I don't understand why people find it so offensive. I don't say I'm Christian to make myself sound better than you and I don't say I'm Christian because I want to shove my religion down your throat. That's where people's minds seem to go these days. Actually...

Do you like to drink coffee? Or does it makes you more irritable than usual? If you do drink coffee, how often you do so?

Christina Lyons I love coffee! I drink two cups every morning. I don't notice ill effects from it unless I drink it too late in the day.
