Every week Cee asks five questions, In answering them her many contributors share their worlds with the blogosphere. You can find all their answers by clicking the underlined link above.

This weeks questions and my answers are below:

siblings

How many siblings do you have? What’s your birth order? 

I have one sister, Brenda. She is a missionary to the Netherlands. I am the oldest. I am a pastor here in America.

This is me and Brenda at Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse

In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?

I would rather be a passenger. I love riding. That said,  I almost always drive as I am generally alone in the car.

When you lose electricity in a storm, do you light the candles or turn on the flashlight? How many of each do you own?

Usually both. I have a vast supply of candles in the house and at least one flashlight on every floor…except the cellar which I try to avoid at all costs in a black out.

List at least five of your favorite types of animals?  (any animal to domestic to wild to marine life)

I love dogs, especially my little dogs.

I love cats too. In fact my daughter is moving in with her cat Picasso on Saturday. That means in my house there will live four people, three Maltese and one tabby cat  who outweighs all the dogs by at least double.

I love birds. The property I live on is covered in wild roses and that attracts the wild birds throughout the winter. I love going out and seeing the waxwings and the chickadees and the robins and the cardinals in the trees. I especially love birdsong in the spring.

I love mountain lions, not like in a cuddly way, that’s just stupid. Those people who go out and live with giant carnivores and try to be their friends and be accepted in their packs are just crazy in my mind; But as a concept I like mountain lions. One was spotted in the town next door about a month ago.

Finally I love bears…in the same way I love mountain lions.

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 that at last week’s bowl-athon fundraiser for special needs the ministry brought in almost $4,000.00! This week I am looking forward to a fun-filled Saturday at C.cada. Ray Parker will be giving a lesson in basic camera use in the afternoon and I have a new camera I am dying to work with.

Color Your World Piggy Pink

Well I was caught up for about four hours I think and then the weekend happened and yeah…Here we are four days behind coloring the world PIGGY PINK.

I will talk more about the craziness of the weekend in a later post. It really was awesome. It just left no time to write.

Anyway here is the shade piggy pink and my rendition of it:

I have realized that just about every shade of pink and purple in the crayola box are in this one picture of the night sky. Amazing!

Morning Directions From Scripture 3-13-16

img_20160202_073953.jpg

When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed festivals, whoever enters by the north gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate. Ez. 46:9

This passage is filled with symbolism. When you go to church this morning will you leave different than you came or will you come out the same way you went in?

What needs to happen for you to change direction?
