Lately I have cut down on my writing so that I can get more reading in. I was feeling sort of depleted in the inspiration department and always rushed to get the next post out. So I am taking a new tac on the waters of the blogging ocean. I am trying to focus on things that gain me inspiration even if that means my “productivity” goes down a little.Quality versus quantity is my new motto and who knows maybe some day I will be able to have both!
All that said I love “Share Your World” so much I just have to keep it as part of my writing routine. Check out Cee and her other contributors at http://www.ceephotography.com/2013/10/07/share-your-world-2013-week-35/
Now onto this week’s questions!
Have you ever bungee jumped? If you haven’t, would you want to?
I never have bungee jumped, but sure I would give it a try (those who know me well are now being given CPR by their closest loved one). I say “Why not bungee? you only live once. ‘For me to live is Christ and to die is gain’ to quote the apostle!”
Where’s the nearest bridge?
For your computer Mac or Windows-based computer? Desktop, laptop, Pad or other?
I write from a desktop when I use a computer. I find it keeps me centered on the writing. A fixed location is very important for me to concentrate.
If you were instantly able to play one musical instrument perfectly that you never have played before, what would it be?
I think it would be the guitar. I currently have one sitting in my office but finding the time to practice (and the desire to face the pain of building callouses) is the hard part.
Describe yourself in at least four uplifting words.
Humorous, Faith-filled, Patient, Discrete.

the callouses can be a problem if not painful…but worth it in the end and being able to listen to your results. 😉
Thanks for the encouragement Cobbies69! I am gearing myself up for the callouses!
Your humor is definitely seen in your answers!! I set up a new blog, so to get new challenge announcements, please go to http://ceenphotography.com/ Thanks
Awesome Cee! Thanks for the heads up!
Callouses? I’m glad I went with the piano. 😉
Yeah Callouses which start out as raw angry patches on your finger tips until they harden up.
I understand the need to back off blogging in order to be more inspired. Hope the well spring flows
Piano I always wanted to bungy jump – something about diving off anything appeals to me 🙂
Thanks moondustwriter for the visit. I am feeling a little more inspired everyday. The time in prayer and study helps!
My husband is a very serious jazz guitarist. When we were teenagers, I asked him to teach me to play an acoustic guitar, but the sore fingertips put an end to it very quickly.
If I might be so bold to ask a personal question – are you a pastor in a non-denominational church, and if so, do you hold to a specific theological position? Or, what is your denominational association? Just curious. I am a Christian, and maybe one day I will share my journey through theology, and where I have ended up. It is not the point of my blog, so I don’t talk about it there in posts. Thankfully, we have raised strong Christian children, but, I am not currently a church-going believer.
Hi there! I am a pastor in an Assembly of God in Southern New England. The AG is a Pentecostal cooperative fellowship based around 16 fundamental truths of Scripture. You can find them here http://ag.org/top/Beliefs/Statement_of_fundamental_truths/sft_full.cfm I would love to hear your faith story someday. The point of Lillie-Put is to offer a place where people can both read my theological points of view and discuss the Scripture (as with my on-line discussion classes like House On Fire) but also have a little fun and fellowship (I do a lot of photography and challenges too). Lillie-put is a great place for Christians like yourself who for whatever reason are not in a fellowship right now to come and “be” with other Christians.
Thank you. The first place I clearly heard the gospel was in my childhood church – Sacred Heart (Roman Catholic), when the “Jesus Freaks” (it was the early ’70’s) from the AG church came to our church basement with our nuns for fellowship and Bible study. It was very casual – singing, reading, talking, praying – and then up to the church sanctuary for laying on hands for new believers. I never went forward. It looked a little scary.
The only church that I have ever attended that was charismatic was Calvary Chapel, founded by Chuck Smith, who recently died. Well, I’ll visit and take time to do some reading here. I do have a strong theological position that I firmly believe, but as I grow older, I am not as concerned about the things that divide Christians, but the thing that binds us together – belief in the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
P.S. I still hang out with my Christian friends, so I am not completely out of fellowship.
With writing, like other things, there has to be inspirational input for there to be outflow. I can agree with most of your characteristics just from reading your blog.
Why thank you Patti! That is very kind.
More great answers!
Bungee jumping – if it had been around when I was yoiung, sure thing!
Windows based desktop, please, though the laptop is good when I need to be elsewhere.
Piano PLEASE! Playing the piano is the ONLY impossible thing to do!
Four words? Faithful . . . if I am faithful, it is enough, for if I am faithful to my Lord and what He desires for me, then everything else will fall into place.
