Share Your World 2013 Week 39

As usual Cee has asked us some very good questions to help the world get to know us all a little better. My own slants on the inquiries are below. To read  how Cee and her groovy gang of sharers have answered go to    http://ceenphotography.com/2013/11/04/share-your-world-2013-week-39/

Now on to the questions!

You are given $5,000 and the chance to exchange it for one of two envelopes. One envelope contains $50,000 and one contains $500. Do you make the trade? Why or why not?

Sure I would make the trade. Either way I win. Even if I got the $500.00 I would look at it as having won  $500.00 not as having lost $5,000.00

Do you believe in the afterlife?  Reincarnation?

I do not believe in reincarnation but I strongly believe in the afterlife which I see as an extension of this life in one of two places (that is an oversimplification but for the space allotted it will have to do). Our individual destinations are determined by putting our faith in Jesus Christ as the only atoning sacrifice for sin. If anyone has any questions come visit me in Lillie-Put. I love having spiritual conversations in my blog country!

🙂

If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?

Oh most definitely a comedy! I think it could be called  A Journey to Lillie-Put or My House On the Corner Of Crazy!

If you had to spend one weekend alone in a single public building or institution, which building would you choose?

I think I would choose to spend the weekend in the Royal Palace in Honolulu Hawaii. I really want to know if they really have that crazy computer they show on Hawaii-Five-O!

😉       I suppose spending a few days on the beach after my weekend stay wouldn’t bring me too much pain either.

Knowledge Preferred

Posted on by under The Stories

Today technicolor blood drips from HD screens. Bullet holes, stab wounds, fangs mark made for TV movies. But what is left when the story can no longer be told between good and evil?

Light and dark fade.

Yin and Yang cease.

Misty morning comes.

What mortal fascination relies on the acquisition of the knowledge of good and evil? What entertainment shall remain when the tension juxtaposed precariously on tenterhooks of fairy tales Is eaten by the Revelation?

Eve’s fruit, one

Silver screen

Nibble, replaced.

the Knowledge Preferred shall swallow the knowledge of Good and Evil. No drama will be  lost by the resolution of the final scene. Knowledge Preferred is the rising of the curtain on a new series made for bigger screens and better stories than mere good and evil can contain.

Well here we are for another discussion in the Book of Acts. I am so thankful to Anne and Debby for their thoughtful comments here over the last few sessions and I am looking forward to even more of you sharing their thoughts and questions today. If you have missed any of our sessions and wish to catch up go here     https://josephelonlillie.com/pastor-wrinkles/house-on-fire/

Now on to today’s topic:

Acts 9:1-16 reads,

 

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way,whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!”

“Yes, Lord,” he answered.

11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”

13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.”

15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”

TELL ME:

How do you think God spoke to Ananias?

Do you think it was the same way he spoke to Saul?

How does God speak to you?

Stirred, Not Shaken

God is stirring gifts in the body of Christ to bring about a mighty harvest. Read this!

Ken Knowlton's avatarartistdayapart

An old-time house-painter once insisted that paint should be stirred and different cans “boxed” together to bring out the greatest consistency of color and uniformity of coverage.  In much the same way, Paul writes to Timothy to “stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.”

CCADA (Cornerstone Christian Artist Day Apart) just celebrated its 3rd annual art show this past weekend.  Each of us as artists had the opportunity to show how God had stirred within each of us a gift-not always the same gift, yet sometimes something very similar.  There were oil paintings, pencil sketches, colored pencil pieces, photography, natural art, poetry, and music.

Our talents are varied-not surprising since God’s gifts are infinite.  Rather than shaking us to see what might fall out, God has been slowly and steadily stirring us in ways that have helped us to discover…
