I don't understand the question.

19. What's one thing you could do this year to enrich the spiritual legacy you will leave to your children?

I don't understand the question. I vaguely understand what a spiritual legacy is, but maybe not really. When people talk about leaving a legacy to their children, I'm always a bit confused. The dictionary says it's a gift or something handed down from the past. If it's not something concrete (money, Nana's favourite ashtray, a bottle cap collection, etc.), then I seem to not really comprehend what "it" is. Soooooo... a spiritual legacy to leave to my children? I have absolutely NO idea. I want to set an example of godly living for them to follow in. Is that what it is? One of them has to actually choose Jesus first though. If I can go to the other side and have my children remembering me as a mom who lived by faith, I will be happy.
(If I have missed the concept of a legacy and you feel that you could explain it to me, please drop me a line.)

20. What book, in addition to the Bible, do you most want to read this year?

Being a very avid reader, you would think this question would be a no brainer, but it really makes it harder to pick one. I can't come up with ONE book, but I know I will read every book by every author I love as soon as they come out. I will read every book that someone says, "hey, have you read this?". I will read every book that comes through the library that has a cool cover (I know about the whole 'don't judge a book by it's cover' thing, so don't go down that road.). I will read the first book by at least 5 new authors this year (a yearly goal). And on and on it goes... Do you know any books I should read??
