Pub Quiz and Danger Zones

Went for my first pub quiz last night in The Packhorse, where I knew two answers out of 100 (and one of them was, who's missing? - Sleepy, Doc, Grumpy, Happy, ...) and had Snakebite for the first time (a not-too-nice cranberry and beer mix). I really enjoyed myself and was grateful to Katie for persuading me to come, because sitting in a smoky place figuring out answers to general knowledge questions lies well outside my comfort zone and in my risk zone, although not in my danger zone!

The former came from this talk we had by Action, where Claire was talking to us about our comfort zones, risk zones and danger zones. She said it would be good for us to do things which fell outside our comfort zones in our risk zones, but not things in our danger zones (for me, that woule be skydiving, even though I sure hope it would shift into my risk zone soon...)

I don't know whether there's any such thing as a danger zone, because human beings are capable of going through alot and adapting to alot, I think. I've been reading Anne Frank's diary over the last few days, and there isn't extraordinary courage in it - it's just the diary of a teenage girl. She would be so scared during bomb blasts that her mother had to light the candle putting all of them in danger should the light be seen, and she hated to talk of business and war. Yet she went through more then and thereafter than most of us have to go through in our lifetimes.

I always wonder whether I would be capable of going through anything like that, but I think the answer for me and everyone else is yes, yes, yes. I think that when the time comes, you will look within yourself and find the courage, and God will strengthen you. I don't think that there's anything anyone else can do that I can't, should I not have the choice; but some things I would like to avoid if possible!
