We have been sharing our world with Cee Neuner now for 31 weeks. Every week Cee asks her contributors four questions. We answer and ‘ouiala our world is shared with you, our readers. If you would like to join in the fun just take a hop and skip from my place on the East coast over to Cee’s place on the West coast via this link

Share Your World – 2014 Week 31

and you too can begin sharing your world.

The questions are….

If you had your own talk show, who would your first three guests be? (guest can be dead, alive, famous or someone you just know)

My daughter and I actually discussed this over a dinner of spinach salad, goat cheese and chicken last night. Which means Cee has reached a new level of iconoclasm. She is dinner conversation around the world!

Anyway my daughter’s choices are: Stephen, the first Christian Martyr; Mary, the mother of Jesus; And Paul the Apostle. I imagine if these guests were seen all together one question asked would have to be, “How did you do it?”

My choices were: Ignatius of Loyola and Francis of Assisi. I would like to have them in together and ask them how two such different men could serve the same God in two totally different ways and yet still come away from the experience with such great success.

I would also like to interview missionary Jim Elliot and ask him to explain the exchange between things of earth and things of Heaven.

What can you always be found with?

My planner and my canvas bag with my computer, notebooks, lots of pens and other junk I probably should clean out.

What is the most fun thing you did in school?

I was a complete nerd and really just like classes. I also really liked concert band and chorus. I remember this one trip we took into Boston to sing at a homeless shelter. I was singing Maria from West Side Story. People were swearing at us and trying to steal our coats and stuff. It was maybe not fun but it certainly was one of those high school memories that makes for good storytelling into the future

What’s something you know you do differently than most people?

My daughter and I were discussing this last night at dinner too. The life we live as born again Christian ministers sometimes makes us stand out in the crowd. I think one of the things that makes people look a little sideways at us is the fact that we do go to church every Sunday and our lifestyle is a little different than most people’s. My daughter’s co-workers for instance are literally appalled at the fact that she is 24 and doesn’t drink alcohol.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am very grateful that I was able to gather all of the documents I need for my new passport and the money required (losing your passport is an expensive pastime). I am looking forward to getting the application sent off this week so I can have my new passport in a few weeks. Ireland is just eight weeks away!
