Share Your World 2014 Week 33

Posted on by under For Family & Fun

share-your-world2

Once again it is time to share my world with Cee. Every week Cee asks four questions (and a bonus). We her readers answer and by this everyone has a chance to know us better. A few weeks ago everyone learned I like spaghetti sauce with my peanut butter. This week you will learn:

Do you believe in ghosts? 

I answer with a qualified yes. I believe there are evil spirits that roam the earth (that is biblical by the way see Job 1:7, Rev. 12:9) and I believe they masquerade as the spirits of our dearly departed (2 Cor. 11:14,  1 Sam. 28) for the purpose of deceiving us and drawing us away from the One true God. This is why we are commanded in Scripture not to consult with those who speak to the dead (Deut. 18) . That is perhaps a longer answer than you were looking for but there you go.

Irregardless of your physical fitness, coordination or agility:  If you could play any sport professionally what would it be?  Or if you can’t picture yourself playing sports, what is your favorite sport?

I would be a professional snowboarder or maybe an acrobat.

 

Do you prefer long hair or short hair for yourself?

I prefer short hair on myself. It is getting shorter (or more non-existent) with every passing year.

If you were on an small island, who would you want to be with? And where is it?  How big is it?

My island is big enough to get away from a tsunami but not so big that I can’t get to the beach easily. It is in a zone where the temps stay 75 all the time. I would love to have my family with me on the island. Friends can come and stay for up to two weeks but I need my privacy in between visits.

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

I am so grateful to have gotten my sister all settled in at our house for the next year. The office is set up so she can work.  Now I am looking forward to our dogs transitioning in with each other which will be a lot easier once the female is out of heat!

Now learn a bit about Cee and her other contributors:

Prophetical-Priestly Quotes 8

“My core fear is that we are, as a culture, as a species, becoming shallower, that we have turned from depth-from the Judeo-Christian premise of unfathomable mystery- and we are adapting ourselves to the ersatz security of a vast lateral connectedness. That we are giving up on wisdom, the struggle for which has for millennia been central to the very idea of culture, and that we are pledging instead to a faith in the web.” Sven Birkerts

Get rid of the dead weight of idols.

According to Albert Einstein, one definition of insanity is, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  I think we’re all guilty of this in one way or another.  Some of us leave things to the last minute and then are unhappy with the rushed result (even though we know we need to allow more time to get the best results).  Students push our buttons and we over-react the same way (even though we know that they are simply pushing our buttons and that our reactions will not stop them). Someone cuts us off in traffic and we lean on the horn (knowing full well that the sound of a long beep will do nothing to improve their driving or ours).  Our kids with the raging hormones push us to the limit in every way they can think of (and instead of separating the serious infractions…

These quotes are not from the book I am currently reading. They are from this morning’s sermon by Pastor Brad Hackett, Cornerstone’s youth pastor. I thought they were both prophetical and priestly.

” Be cause of the promise of the the resurrection, we have all the more reason to stay true to the Lord.” Brad Hackett

“If you don’t seek after God for help, then His promises aren’t for you!” Brad Hackett

“When people are having a dumb argument, we need to help them stay true to the Lord.” Brad Hackett

” Joy in the Lord is the cure for all discord.” Charles Spurgeon

“Christianity is about progress not perfection.” Brad Hackett

“”There is no place in our lives that is of no concern to God.” Brad Hackett

“Sin is a time waster while prayer is a people-saver.” Brad Hackett

“There is no more time for offense, no more time for dumb arguments, no more time for sin.” Brad Hackett

Consistency

In all the craziness don’t forget the cross.!

We must always be on guard!  The moment we lighten up on our daily devotions and shorten our prayer time with the Lord, boy, the enemy is right there to jump in to help out in any way that he can.  This past week has been just that for me and let me say my thought life has been filled with all sorts of doubts and lies from the enemy.

I knew what I should have been doing but in my mind I rationalized that I was “too busy” or “too tired” to read the Word never mind time to meditate on the Word.  Sometimes it is hard to get out of a rut even when you know exactly what you need to do in order to feel better.  I don’t mean feel better emotionally either I mean feel better spiritually.  And don’t you know I was plagued with a…

A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.

The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.

The wideness of the horizon has to be inside us, cannot be anywhere but inside us, otherwise what we speak about is geographic distances.
