Share Your World – 2014 Week 41

We are almost through another year of sharing. If you have fallen behind in learning and sharing you can catch up by following the link above. Come on give it a try! It’s a whole lot of fun!

Here are this week’s sharing questions from Cee….

Would you rather take pictures or be in pictures?

Since I just got back from a two-week trip to Ireland and took 850 pictures of which I am in exactly two I would have to say I like taking pictures (although I did have my daughter take pictures of me with her camera to prove I was really there).

Us on the way to Ireland.

Us on the way to Ireland.

What did you most enjoy doing this past week?

I think finishing up our tour of the Emerald Isle and flying back to resume working life.

What is your greatest extravagance?

I would have to say my greatest extravagance is books. I love to buy and read books.

Which letter of the alphabet describes you best?

M for “ME”

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

I am really grateful that I got to go to Ireland with my daughter Amanda. This week  I am so looking forward to beginning two services at our church and the C.cada art show this next week being held at our church. Come and visit us if you have the notion.

Skywatch Friday and Redemption

This incredible rainbow appeared over our town hall last night after the day’s torrential rains.

It reminded me of this verse in the Bible.

When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Luke 21:28

We have ebola. We have the entero virus. We have war all over the world. We have weapons of mass destruction being discovered where people assured us there were none. We have fear and anger and well the list just goes on forever it seems. But we also have the promises of God and the good news of the gospel. I can still sing “Jesus Loves Me” and “This World Is Not My Home” and those two things are the truth unshakeable.

Ebola can come. War can come. People can hate me, curse me and hurt me but in the end all these troubles will pass away and I will stand in the garden again with my Jesus and sing! And so can anyone who comes to the cross and receives the grace of the One True Messiah of mankind! Now that is good news that no amount of bad news can undo!

Well I should be safely back from Ireland by this point but since I am writing this on October 1st that is amere faithful supposition on my part. Cee’s challenge this week is all about vibrancy. Next week I hope to post some of my Emerald Isle pictures on her challenge “Green”.

Pastor Wrinkle’s Favorite Scriptures 4

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. Jer. 29: 11-14
