Share Your World June 19, 2017

share-your-world2

I missed participating in SHARE YOUR WORLD last week. This challenge has become part of a routine and when I miss it…I really miss it. Anyway this is the challenge where our hostess, Cee, asks us five questions. As we answer them we SHARE OUR WORLDS. You can click the underlined links to see all the world sharing going on over at Cee’s blog.

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:

What is something that people are obsessed with but you just don’t get the point of?

Oh gosh over the year there have been so many things. Pet rocks…Chia pets ( now apparently it’s a health food)…Hula hoops. Currently it is this thing called the Fidget Spinner?

What quirky things do people do where you are from?

We drink Moxie. And we say things like “Wicked Awesome!”

 

What are some things you wish you could unlearn? 

Unlearn? …Hmm sometimes I wish I had not learned to look at the negative side of things first and had learned to step out of the gates with a positive attitude. I am working on that.

Who is someone that you miss having in your life?

I miss lots of people. Some have left this life and some have just left mine. I cannot say which is the more painful missing.

Optional 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 to be almost fully healed from my pulled stomach muscles. My singing is still not quite up to par. The diaphragm is still a little weak but it will come. I am looking forward to getting a boat load of writing done this week.

Justice—do you rulers[b] know the meaning of the word?
    Do you judge the people fairly?
No! You plot injustice in your hearts.
    You spread violence throughout the land.
These wicked people are born sinners;
    even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
They spit venom like deadly snakes;
    they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers,
    no matter how skillfully they play. Psalm 58:1-5

Are there requirements for judging fairly? What are they?

No! You plot injustice in your hearts.

These wicked people are born sinners;
    even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
They spit venom like deadly snakes;
    they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers,
    no matter how skillfully they play. Psalm 58:1-5

What are some current definitions of justice? How are these definitions different from biblical justice?

If you could pass judgment on your enemies but that same judgment would be meted out to you by your enemies would you judge with justice or mercy? What makes you choose that?

Why are we so surprised when earthly rulers fail us?

I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
    I will sing your praises among the nations.
10 For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
    Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

11 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
    May your glory shine over all the earth. Psalm 57: 9-11

What’s your part in making God’s glory shine over the earth?
