“We have received the oracles of God, the greatest gift that can be given a people. Yet we live between having received and fully comprehending the Word.” Darius L. Salter
This post is written in response to Cee’s challenge : Winter/ Water
My offerings are below, but when you have finished here take a trip over to Cee’s photo shop to see what her other contributors have put up.

“What is preaching-without turning to God? It is daily unction that we want, that the word may be like a hammer and fire from our mouths to break hearts and to kindle life and fire.” Francis Asbury
For me literature must have ethical dimension. the aim of literature…is to disturb. I disturb the reader because I dare to put questions to God, the source of all faith. I disturb the miscreant because despite my doubts and questions, I refuse to break with the religious and mystical universe that has shaped my own. Most of all, I disturb those who are comfortably settled within a system-be it political, psychological, or theological. If I have learned anything in my life, it is to distrust in intellectual comfort.” Elie Weisel
The answer is in the prayer closet. Take 6 minutes and watch the video.
Every week (or almost every week) for the last three years I have been skipping over to Cee’s place in Oregon to answer four questions she poses to all her readers. In the process I have gotten to know Cee and her readers and they have gotten to know me.
This little exercise is a great way to make connections here in the blogosphere; So let me encourage you, when you are done here why don’t you skip over to Cee’s place too and read some of her other contributors and then take the plunge and answer her four questions for yourself.

Do you prefer ketchup or mustard?
I am not a ketchup or mustard fan. I prefer to mix them together with a little brown sugar and soy sauce to make BBQ
If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?
I think my life would make a great comedy/drama. I have had plenty of both but I like to focus on the laughter. We do tend to take ourselves a bit too seriously most days.
If you could be given any gift what would it be?
I would be a trip around the world because then I could travel with someone! 🙂
For potlucks or parties do you cook it yourself, buy from a grocery store, or pay for catering?
Oh I wish I always had time to cook it myself but most times I am the guy buying potato salad from the deli on the way to church potlucks (I buy a lot of potato salad)
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up.
I am grateful my sister made it to my home from her home in the Netherlands. I am looking forward to getting her State-side cell hooked back up tomorrow with no problems (fingers crossed)!
