Fun Monday

This weeks Fun Monday is being hosted by Mariposa's Tales. Here is the assignment she gave us:

"I'll only be asking TWO things-

(1) Please share to us how the NAME of your BLOG was made? I can't wait to hear interesting funny stories!

(2) Please share to us (in words or photo, though a combination of both will be a bonus!) your favorite/ most common dish!"

1...A Life Uncommon was created from the theme song of my life. It is a song by JEWEL from her "spirit" CD
JEWEL LYRICS

"Life Uncommon"

Don't worry mother, it'll be alright
And don't worry sister, say your prayers and sleep tight
It'll be fine lover of mine
It'll be just fine
Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead a life uncommon
I've heard your anguish
I've heard your hearts cry out
We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out
set down your chains, until only faith remains
Set down your chains
And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength to that
which you wish to be free from
Fill you lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon
There are plenty of people who pray for peace
But if praying were enough it would have come to be
Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves
To hear our voices ring out clear
with sounds of freedom
sounds of freedom
Come on you unbelievers, move out of the way
there is a new army coming and we are armed with faith
To live, we must give
To live
And lend out voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength to that which we with to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead...
Lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from
Fill you lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon

Now regarding the line.."There are plenty of people who pray for peace,
but if praying were enough it would have come to be" So that I am not mis-understood. Prayer is my breath it is essential, I believe that is is as crucial that we live our lives in relationship with God our maker. He is not a "Gennie in a bottle" to me to pray to. He is my friend and my first Love. I want to be pleasing to him. I do not want to be a Christian Victim, I chose (it is my heart) to be a Victorious Christian.
2. Pei Wei is a restaurant that serves fresh stir fry. I love love love! Mongolian Beef with added vegetables and stir fried rice with vegetables. YUM!
It is a savory dish
The thinly slice beef tenderized and stir fried after (being tossed with corn starch?) a wonderful savory sauce and vegetables of snap peas, carrots ginger and broccoli and such very good.
The rice has cubed carrots and peas and bean sprouts, little bits of scrambled egg...soo good.
The best part of it is that I share the company of my husband or a good friend when ever I get to have some.
