This week Cee has asked some really fun questions and I hope I can do them justice in the few minutes I have before prayer meeting. If you would like to see how others have answered go to http://www.ceephotography.com/2013/09/09/share-your-world-2013-week-31/
Do you push the elevator button more than once and do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?
I always push the button at least twice and the second time is more of a pulse tap so it technically qualifies as five or six hits. I am convinced that this is how you get the elevator to move at light speed. Oh dancing in the elevator also makes it move faster in case you were wondering.
If you had the choice between an RV, a sports car, truck, SUV, or a bicycle, which would you choose and why?
This week it would be an RV. I think I would hit the road for a nice road trip.
If you HAD to change your name, what would you change it to?
Zerubbabel. I have always liked that name. 🙂 You could call me Zeb for short. I am pretty sure my son would not like this name though. it has been tough enough being Joseph Elon VI. Can you imagine being Zerubbabel Elon VI?
Is it more important to love or be loved?
Oh boy! There are all kinds of scriptural connotations with this question. Love is a commitment we are all called to make and true love is presupposed with a reward of love returned from the Source of Love. When we love we get love from the Source of Love even if not directly from the one (s) we are loving. So I would say loving is more important because it is in loving that we discover we are loved.


I adored all your answers this week as always. May I call you Zeb? Thanks for playing!
Of course. I think it would be neat to have another nick name.
I couldn’t help but think of my brother Charles Hiram who almost got named Percival Thurston. My father’s side of the family was big into naming kids after dead relatives except in the case of my nephew, George Elmo IV, named after my brother, GE III, named after GE II – my Dad, named after GE the original, my Grandfather. It was like a Venn diagram until my nephew broke the chain by naming his son George Alexander, the first of his kind.
Of course I had to check the name Zerubbabel. When I first looked at it the last half of the name stood out, babel, but I knew it would be for good if a strong foundation was being built, so I typed in the first half and was happy to see the name in the search. Zerubbabel was an exile among exiles who returned from Babylonian captivity, and led the process of rebuilding the Temple of Jerusalem. He built an altar and laid the foundation. He did complete the temple. That name is loaded.

YEs it is loaded with meaning. Zeb was a great man! It would be neat to be named after him. Of course I am not sure the chiding from kids in school would be so awesome but surely it couldn’t be worse the “Lillie-pad” or “Lilliputian” 🙂
And no worse than french Frye that my daughter was called among other variations. As adults we can delve into a meaningful name… as kids, we bear it and hold a grudge against our folks that fades as we grow. At some point it becomes cool.
You are right. I hid my middle name all through school. It came out all wrong at graduation when our pricipal announced me as Joseph Ellen! I of course had to do some major damage control after that and the only way to do that was to dignify the name Elon.
Now that reminds me of that song Johnny cash wrote, “A Boy Named Sue”. For what it’s worth, I never thought of Elon being pronounced Ellen, I thought the E as a long E plus lon = E-lon. (Or if we were speaking Turkish the accent’d be on the lon.) 🙂

You have it right. My principal was not one of my biggest fans. He may have even done it on purpose just to spite my father.
Great answers! That is a cool name.
Thanks Patti!
Zerubbabel is an awesome name!
I may have to name one of my characters this.
Great answers, Pastor J! I have to say I do the same thing with the elevator minus the dancing. lol.
You should totally try the dancing thing. I would suggest you do it when you are alone in an elevator. Doing it in a crowded elevator makes people a little angry particularly if you swing your arms in wide circles.
Believe me, if I was going to dance in an elevator it would definitely be alone!

Thanks for the pinc back.
You really let your sense of humour loose on those questions! Loved the answers!
I guess I’m too logical to push the lift button more than once – and I’ve also found that the older I get, the more patience I have.
PS I have just been reminded that while I only push the lift button once, I most certainly click a link SEVERAL times, trying to speed up my abysmally slow connection! Do you think several clicks help? Probably slows it down even more! Maybe one day . . .
I think clicking the mouse button isa surely less effective than clicking the elevator button. 🙂
Hmmm I wonder if that will happen to me? It should since that is a fruit of the Spirit and I am seeking to grow.
