65 Do good to your servant according to your word, Lord. 66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands. 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. 68 You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees. 69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart. 70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law. 71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. 72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. Psalm 119:65-72

How does God make good things come out of bad things?
One of the advantages of being late all the time is that you are never on time to see who else was late. Melanie started her challenge post for SHARE YOUR WORLD this week by apologizing for technical difficulties which made her late with posting this week’s challenge.No problem Melanie. I am earlier than usual this week and I was still so late I didn’t even notice your were late!
Ah well. SHARE YOUR WORLD is the challenge where we answer Melanie’s questions and in so doing we share our world’s. Late or not it is always nice to share.
When you have finished reading my answers, take a hop on over to Melanie’s site by clicking on either of the underlined links, and you can share your world with lots of others.
How comfortable are you speaking in front of large groups of people?
I have never minded this. Preaching, singing, acting, teaching…all of that is fine. I do find it very hard to get up in front of business meetings to share for some reason….I am also a nervous wreck before I perform a wedding. Funerals are fine but weddings….don’t even get me started.
What would be the best thing you could reasonably expect to find in a cave?
Shelter from the storm.
What did you think was going to be amazing but turned out to be horrible?
I was very excited about a trip to Gatlinburg TN. Then I got there. The town was probably fine but the hotel we stayed in was so horrible it ruined the whole experience….There was dried spaghetti stuck to the walls and cigarette holes in the shower curtains (who smokes when they are taking a shower?!?)
What’s the silliest thing you’ve observed someone get upset about?
A church steeple.
Gratitude:
Please feel free to share something that gave you an uplifted spirit during this past week. (Optional)
We have a gopher in our yard! It was so much fun seeing him. I supposes I will not like it if he eats my squash….but we have a gopher!!!

Will you let affliction lead you astray or will you let it lead you closer to God? How are you going to use it?
