Share Your World 2017 Dec. 4,2017
Cee’s weekly questions have become one of my favorite writing exercises. I just love the opportunity to give everyone a little peek behind the curtain of my life and I love reading about the lives of others across the world.
Below are this week’s questions and my answers. When you have finished click HERE and go to Cee’s site to read her other contributors.
What household chore do you absolutely hate doing?
I don’t mind most housework. That said I am not a very good housekeeper. I guess if I had to pick a least favorite I would say ironing. I don’t. That is why God made sweaters and vests.
At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?
My prayer life is the most vibrant part of my life right now. I am feeling very challenged to a deeper relationship with God.
How many times have you moved in the last ten years?
I have moved once. That’s a short sentence for a very long story.

This thought really challenged and encouraged me this week:
“In ministry, servanthood is where all authority is manifested.”

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday not just because of the food but because of the spirit of thanks it conjures up. In this world of complaints and divisions I think we can always use a little more gratefulness.
I am thankful for the opportunity Cee has given everyone in the blogosphere to SHARE THEIR WORLDS.
See…it wasn’t so hard at all to find something to be thankful for! Here are Cee’s sharing questions and my answers. When you’ve finished pop on over to Cee’s place using the underlined link above and see how others have shared their worlds.
If you were having difficulty on an important test and could safely cheat by looking at someone else’s paper, would you do so?
No I would not. Cheaters never win in the end. Besides, tests (even important tests) never show who we really are. They are only place markers for where we are. Cheating only keeps us from knowing our current place in the world. If we don’t first acknowledge our place we can never successfully move from it.
What things in nature do you find most beautiful?
I love the sky and trees against it.
Complete this sentence: When I travel I love to….
Rest, meditate and learn.

this thought came to mind in prayer this week and it created a shift in my heart.
Victory in the spirit world is never about supremacy. It is about intimacy. It is never about coming in first or reaching the top. In fact in the spirit realm victory often requires failure or willingly taking the lower position. Victory comes in realizing that the power position does not matter. Connection with the Spirit matters.

If you could be a tree or plant, what would you be?

I love little dogs
I love cats

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:
What do you consider is the most perfect food for you? (It can be your favorite food to something extremely healthy.)
The most perfect food for me changes almost daily according to my hankerin’. Today I want a nice juicy pot roast. I just happen to have one in the freezer.
Are you focused on today or tomorrow?
I don’t have the luxury of focusing on one or the other. I have to constantly plan for the future or it eats me alive but I have to live in the present or it passes me by and then the future eats me alive.
If you could interview one of your great-great-great grandparents, who would it be (if you know their name) and what would you ask?
I would talk to my great great great grandfather Tandy or my great great grandfather May both of whom were ministers in the same area I minister in. I would ask them what were the greatest and most effective tools they used in ministering to our people.

Here are this week’s questions and my answers.
What is your favorite outdoor activity?
I love outdoor photography. I seem to get caught up in landscapes.
In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?
I almost never get to be a passenger in a car as it is just me now. I think I have forgotten how to ride.
If you could have three wishes granted for you alone, what would they be?
My wishes are pretty simple. To have enough time, money and energy to do all the things on my eternal life list. I don’t have a bucket list. I figure what I don’t get to do in this life I’ll set about doing in the next.

SHARE YOUR WORLD is a weekly challenge hosted by blogger Cee Neuner. In the challenge Cee asks 4 questions and as we answer them we all share our worlds. Click the link above to see the answers of the world. My answers are below.
What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?
I am not very hard to please. A perfect day is a day that is slow and quiet. It is a day where I can sit back and take some time to watch the world and contemplate its intricacies.
Here are some perfect day pics:
Complete this sentence: My favorite place in the whole world…..
is being in the center of God’s will.
Who was your best friend in elementary school (prior to age 12)?
I didn’t have a lot of friends as a little kid. Most of my attachments were temporary. I guess I would say…Eddie Murdock.
What inspired you this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.
After a week surrounded by much distraction and dissension in our little town, I thought about how I had watched my fellow Christians rise to the occasion with prayer and love in the midst of anger swirling around us. I thought about the grace I had seen from certain leaders in our community including our new pastor. Then this word came to me in prayer.
The power of dissension lies in its focus on self. When we begin to empathize with and focus on others rather than self, dissension dissolves into unity even if disagreement remains.
That inspired me. Thank you Jesus!
