My schedule for the last few weeks has kept me from jumping into, THE SHARE YOUR WORLD CHALLENGE. Our lead pastor at Cornerstone Church (my boss) left four weeks ago ,and for the last month I have been working through the decision and process of transitioning into his role. This week the deacon board voted to advance my name to the congregation and so the last step of the process has begun! There are a few more steps to take, but before I go back to addressing them, I wanted to take a few moments to answer the questions this weekly challenge brings.

My answers are below. When you have finished reading here, please click the underlined link above and travel to Melanie’s site to see how her other contributors have answered her questions.

QUESTIONS: 

If not now, then when?

Made me think of this song….

Can you describe your life in a six-word sentence?

ONE THREAD IN THE GRAND TAPESTRY.

Do you remember that thing people used to say, about how you swallow eight spiders a year while you sleep? It’s not true, but do you think you’ve ever swallowed any? What bug do you think you’ve eaten the most of by accident?

I am pretty sure I have never swallowed a spider but I have swallowed mosquitoes.

What’s the best approach to resolving conflict?

Speak the truth in love. It’s a lot more complicated than that, but this is a start.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in the sitting and waiting spaces of life. Here are a few places I enjoy sitting and waiting.
