I talked about this in an earlier entry, the woman whose husband died in Afghanistan and the VA wouldn't allow a pentagram on his memorial. Turns out the Nevada Attourney General decided that the VA had no right to decide what goes on a State Memorial and said it was ok. Doesn't have any effect on National Cemeteries, but its a step in the right direction.

ROFL. I found this on a google ad and couldnt resist: http://www.biblicalprofile.com/

So here is Bible!Dessie:

Your Biblical Personality Style:

Careful & Compliant: As a "C" style, your personality is similar to Biblical heroes such as Luke, Silas, Ruth and Esther. All of these people led by example, having a high standard for excellence and walking in personal integrity. Valuing accuracy and organization, Luke wrote his gospel account accordingly, "It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus" Luke 1:3 Ruth and Esther both showed patience and persistence in doing well and waiting for Divine opportunities rather than forcefully demanding things for themselves; it was all about preparation, planning, and perfect timing.

Interesting enough, many of the "C" style personalities in the Bible were challenged by being put into situations that required great faith. Esther and Ruth both exhibited great faith, an area where they no doubt both grew personally since their natural desire would have been to gain a better understanding before having to make life threatening decisions. Silas had to act in faith when becoming the Apostle Paul’s new travel companion when Paul rejected John Mark because of his non-compliant behavior. Silas proved to be much more compatible with Paul’s high standard of commitment and excellence.

Your Personality Style Description: A perfectionist, destiny is very willing to expend the effort to achieve high quality results. Because she works so carefully, she tends to be sensitive to criticism. destiny tends to gather a great deal of information before making choices. She believes that if everyone would process information in the same way as she does, a better level of quality would be maintained.

destiny values close, personal relationships, and she will often put the needs and desires of those who are loyal friends ahead of her own needs. She is an even-paced individual who thrives in a peaceful, harmonious environment. destiny will work to avoid conflict and sudden changes in her lifestyle and finds joy in keeping tradition.

Because she cares about how others feel, destiny may feel uncomfortable making decisions that strongly affect others. She typically encourages others to be involved in the decision making process and prefers to work in a team role. Others tend to see destiny as agreeable and humble.

destiny usually avoids being the center of attention. She tends to pick her friends carefully and is usually cautious and not overly "open" to strangers. destiny may sometimes come across as being skeptical of what others tell her they will do, but once a person has proven their reliability, destiny is willing to invest more time and trust in the relationship.
