One of my favorite things in the world is tea. I love drinking a good quality black tea with nuances of fruity flavor. My favorite thing to do is to sit down with a hot cup and sip as I read. Being an avid reader, I do this as often as possible. It has practically become a daily ritual after work, or before bedtime. Near my workplace, there is a coffee shop that serves excellent tea lattes and I have succumbed to frequenting that place every day at break time. I had always made fun of coffee lovers who have to get their fix and cannot pass a coffee shop without stopping. I have now joined the throng that treks daily to these places, except I keep a little bit of individuality by always ordering the tea.

Heavy. It makes me think of lifting, holding, pushing, pulling and all the while not getting very far. Although this may appear to be my version of Atlas, what I really had in mind was the weight of responsibility, the heavy load of the weight of the world on your shoulders. We can be glad to never have to experience such pressure, even if we were to become the president of one of earths big nations, we'd still not be responsible for the whole.
As Resurrection Sunday approaches, I think of Christ and how He took upon Himself the weight of the world's sins when He took our place to fulfill our insurmountable debt to God. He did not crumble under the weight as we would have.
When I think of multiples I think of numbers and repetitive patterns, so here we have both.
So what better way than to illustrate the concept "choose" than by showing how ridiculous we women can be? Two identical choices save for the color can represent quite a conundrum, while gentlemen will never comprehend just how it could possibly take so long do put something, anything, on.
