1. April showers bring May flowers...what have you been showered with this month?
Snow!
2. What is the nature of compassion? Is it learned or innate? Can compassion be learned? If you're a parent is this something you've purposely sought to instill in your children, and if so how?
I think that life teaches compassion.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. ~2 Corinthians 1:3&4
3. Do you prefer to watch romantic comedy or romantic drama...or are you rolling your eyes saying bring on the action flicks?
I'm not a huge fan of action flicks. But then again, it all depends on what the action is. I don't like violent movies at all. I mean not at all. Just ask my family what I did when they were watching "Last of the Mohicans". **shudder** I tried to watch it, but the violence was just nasty. I often close my eyes or look away in the theater if there is a particularly violent scene.
Okay, let's move on to the next question....
4. It's April which means baseball season is officially upon us here in the US of A. Humphrey Bogart is quoted as saying "A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz." Agree or Disagree?
Disagree. To me, hot dogs are just okay. I don't remember the last time I ate one.
5. What's something in your community or city that needs fixing or improving?
The first word that popped into my mind? EVERYTHING. There are so many run-down buildings in this town. There are way too many businesses that have used what I call machine shed architecture. (Imagine metal sided buildings.) It's ugly. There are barely any restaurants above fast food. There isn't a Target.
I'll stop now.
6. Share a song you enjoy that mentions flowers or a specific flower in its title.
Above All by Michael W. Smith
There's a song by Larry Norman called UFO. The song talks about Jesus and some of the lyrics are:
He will come back like He promised
With the price already paid
He will gather up His followers
And take them all away.
With the price already paid
He will gather up His followers
And take them all away.
And if there's life on other planets
Then I'm sure He must know
And He's been there once already
And has died to save their souls.
That's all that really matters.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
This winter that never ends is really getting to me. I feel almost claustrophobic.
Sorry to end on a depressing thought. But this is my reality right now.

That stinks that you've still got snow. I've been so thankful to live in a city where it very rarely snows this year. Hope it goes away and stays away soon!
I must agree whole heartedly with your answer to the city 'fixings'. Here too. But I had to be a bit more specific.
Snow?!!! Oh, I'm glad I live way down south on the coast right now. I'll change my tune tho, when Hurricane season starts in June.
We are missing the snow however we are getting a cold rain which means we don't go walking. Hope yours melts soon.
I'm so sorry that you're STILL dealing with snow. {{hug}}
I love your answer to #2.
I'm not a fan of hot dogs - except at the ball game (although I usually get a brat whenever we go to a game).
Snow? This late in April? No, thank you! I'll take the heat & humidity of the south anyday! :)
Argh, snow! I hope your spring comes too. Are you near Canada - I know in some parts of Canada they had the worst snowfall they've had this winter last week.
I am so surprised by all the late snow this year. Life does teach compassion and I would take those life lessons to help my children get it! My brother lives in Milwaukee and now they are having a lot of rain. He is feeling claustrophoic too.
I love the Rebecca St James version of that song. Sorry you've got snow still...that would make me bonkers. The late snow is pretty, but hard to take!
