November 11, 2002PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.45***UPDATE: Tackback is on! *** Welcome back everyone, can you believe it is Monday already? I hope this week's Mission starts your week off right - think of it as coffee for your brain. And be sure to tell your friends, we always need more Missionaries! Just a few things to cover before we begin. First off, if you have not joined the Monday Mission mailing list, please do so. The sign-up form is on the main page in the upper left sidebar. And if you join, you will get the super-secret "e-mail only" Monday Mission Question Number Zero. Shhh, don't tell! And this is purely a vanity thing, but I really want to move up in the BlogRolling top 100. So if you have an account there, please Blogroll Me. Share the love! Hmm, that about covers it Oh yeah, if you are a first timer, be sure and say so - we'll go easy on ya! So since it's gettin' hot in here...... PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.451. Although I was told before hand by my mother, my Grandfather finally told me he has cancer and it was speculated he has about 12 months to live. Has someone you know ever told you they had a terminal illness? What was it like for you when you found out. How did that change your relationship with them?2. The concept of having 12 months comes as somewhat of a shock. Often those estimates are wrong and a person lives much longer. But still, it makes me think. If you found out you had 12 months to live, what would you do with that time? How would it change the way you live? Or would it? 3. My Grandfather has decided to undergo chemotherapy. He was told it would not cure him, but it could prolong his life, however his quality of life could diminish. Having watched my father go through all that to no avail, I am not so sure I would choose that option. If you were (or are) in a situation where chemotherapy might cure you, or might not, would endure the usual side effects and discomfort? 4. How is your health? How are you doing? 5. Speaking of health, I was in a Health Food Store Saturday and learned about something called "Ear Candling." It Today's comment question: What Would Jesus Drive? file this under Monday MissionPosted by on November 11, 2002 @ November 11, 2002 09:16 AM 55 folks had something to say |
Mine are up.
I think Jesus would drive a vintage VW bus. He was a hippie after all ;)
My answers are up!!
Hmmm... he'd drive a really cool SUV.
Secret answer: 97.

Posted by: Tasha at November 11, 2002 9:59 AMHe'd drive a conversion van. Seems apropos for him for some reason.
(collective groan at horrible pun)

Posted by: chrystal at November 11, 2002 10:32 AM"What would Jesus Drive? I could see him in an old beat up pickup truck or ano[t]her old car that isn't in the best shape. The money he could use for a nice car would go to help others." Quoting myself. :)
I'm up. I would have sent you a Trackback ping but the URL isn't up!
As for oldest relative, I think they are my Grandpa's sisters and their husbands and my Grandmother's sister and her husband.

Posted by: Jennifer at November 11, 2002 10:53 AMThey're up! :)
Jesus would drive public transportation, because he'd care about the environment and not be a goddamn selfish idiot.
Posted by: Jenni at November 11, 2002 10:55 AMsorry promo, talking about an illness just doesn't appeal to me.
Posted by: giorgia at November 11, 2002 11:03 AMJesus would still drive a cart, I'm thinking. Otherwise He would run :)
I don't think I have any great-grandparents living, so I think it must be my grandma, who will be 75 on thanksgiving :)
got em up!
Posted by: Jennifer at November 11, 2002 11:04 AMMine are up on the weblog
As for the comment question answer...hmmm...I could see him being a schoolbus driver (thus a bus), but regular car, an Accord, always dependable, people keep them till they go no more...
Posted by: christina at November 11, 2002 11:06 AMJesus would drive an old vw bus..maybe a 66 or 67. :)
Mine are up!
Posted by: Gina at November 11, 2002 11:19 AM*Up* :)
Posted by: nina at November 11, 2002 11:20 AMDamn, I did it again.
Jesus would drive a red VW micro-bus filled with shovels and rakes and other implements of destruction.
(Humming)
Posted by: dargie at November 11, 2002 11:25 AMMine are up! Jesus would drive a Jeep Wrangler for some reason...
Posted by: Laura at November 11, 2002 11:32 AMMine are up.
I think Jesus would walk or take public transportation. Most of the time I feel people would respond to his preaching and be willing to give hime a ride.
Posted by: Sid at November 11, 2002 11:34 AM(pout)
Trackback is gone.
Anyway posted earlier. See Blog for Details :)
Posted by: Joni at November 11, 2002 11:35 AMfirst monday mission :D
I think maybe Jesus would drive a winnebago, so he could house his disciples. Maybe a tour bus.
Posted by: Alyssa at November 11, 2002 11:36 AMUp!
Posted by: Steph at November 11, 2002 11:38 AMMines all up Hun!

Oops...I think Jesus would drive a nice big van!
Posted by: roadsidegurl at November 11, 2002 12:01 PMMy first Monday Mission! Woot!
Oh, and Jesus would walk.
Posted by: Orb at November 11, 2002 12:15 PMHere's mine!
And the comments question would be a horse and buggy. :)
My grandma is my oldest living relative at 95 :)
Posted by: Simply Sara at November 11, 2002 12:57 PMWhat Would Jesus Drive? I can't picture him driving at all. LOL
Posted by: Jill at November 11, 2002 1:06 PMFirst MM, and it's gonna be up v soon. And maybe Jesus would have an open top bus, very hippie 'peace out' stylee. Nods. He's get more followers if he had an open topped bus. Yep.
Posted by: kate at November 11, 2002 1:08 PMHe would drive MY car because it takes a hell of a person to drive the same beat up POS '92 Dodge Shadow that I've had since I was 15.
Posted by: Jana at November 11, 2002 1:20 PMI have a picture of Jesus' vehicle linked at the end of my Mission answers. Come look!
Posted by: Raspil at November 11, 2002 1:34 PMup! i think jesus would have a driver and a handler since he was a pretty popular guy.
Posted by: laura at November 11, 2002 1:46 PMMine are up! Nice questions this week. :)
Posted by: Lesa at November 11, 2002 1:47 PMMy responses are here. I have no idea what Jesus would drive, though I kind of agree with the VW bus group. I noticed the same thing Joni did - what happened to TrackBack?!
Posted by: Meredith at November 11, 2002 2:38 PMok, cowboys and girls- busgirlie is heading into the barn to do her mission work!
Posted by: Bus girlie! at November 11, 2002 3:02 PMJesus would ride a bike. Cars/buses/motorcycles are death machines. :)
Posted by: Erin at November 11, 2002 3:40 PMFrankly, these questions depressed the hell out of me this week. But it did make me stop and think.
Do you really think a guy that (supposedly) walked on water would ever need a car? :P
My grandmother is 76 years old.
Posted by: missy at November 11, 2002 3:50 PMMine are up (on time for once) here.
And I think Jesus would drive about 450 yards on a good day.
Posted by: theaardvark at November 11, 2002 3:54 PMI'm a newbie!
Mine are also up!
And, I cannot even fathom what Jesus would drive!
Posted by: Alyssa at November 11, 2002 4:07 PMHe wouldn't need to drive a car because other people would do it for him.
Posted by: Vernieda at November 11, 2002 4:28 PMI have accepted your Monday Mission, sir!
And I think the answer to "What Would Jesus Drive?" has already been studied and found here!
My oldest living relative is, I think, my Aunt Lottie. She should be almost 90 by now.
Posted by: Solonor at November 11, 2002 4:50 PMMy first time :) Mine's up!
Posted by: Sunshine at November 11, 2002 5:41 PMmine are done. yay!
Jesus would drive a VW bus. he is a peace loving kind of guy.
my grandmother is 83.
Posted by: Alteredboy at November 11, 2002 6:59 PMThanks, Promoguy!
Today's comment question: What Would Jesus Drive?
An economy car, since He's not about material possessions; and probably one of those eco-friendly cars, since it's His world and He'd want to take care of it.
my answers are up, follow link to my journal from my site.
With his long hair and sandals, he is a free spirit. Jesus would definitely drive a VW bug.
Posted by: Christy at November 11, 2002 8:39 PMDid 'em. A bicycle built for 13?
Posted by: Marie at November 11, 2002 11:08 PMDid it... here you go.
Jesus? He'd walk, I have to agree with someone up there... too tired to scroll up.
I can see Jesus driving a conversion van. A red one. With floral blinds on the passenger windows.
Posted by: Samantha at November 12, 2002 12:43 AMLate as usual, but still up.
Jesus? I believe he would has a hovercraft!
Posted by: John at November 12, 2002 6:29 AMJesus built my hotrod (just borrowed that from Ministry)... and I'm a little late, but mine are up
Posted by: Lee Ann at November 12, 2002 6:43 AMJesus would drive me to work everyday! *smile* And mine's up, a day late, but up.
