Week four of 2015 already! Only 46 weeks left to shop for Christmas. But when your not doing that you should check out how  Cee’s other contributors answered her questions this week.

Share Your World – 2015 Week #4

Here are the questions in question:

Where did you live at age five?  Is it the same place or town you live now?

When I was five my parents were renting out a house that belonged to my Uncle Dick and Aunt Lore. They were stationed in Hawaii while Uncle Dick was deployed to Viet Nam. I live about two miles from that house now. I drive by it every time I take my car to the mechanic.

You are invited to a party that will be attended by many fascinating people you never met.  Would you attend this party if you were to go by yourself?

It really depends on the type of party. If it’s a sit down dinner party where I can share in table conversation then yes. If it’s a mixer then no.

Did you grow up in a small or big town? Did you like it?

I grew up in a small town. I loved it and still love living in that small town.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I went through most of the boyhood dreams of being a cop, a fireman, a vet, a zoo keeper etc. But I settled on my real career choices by the time I was in eighth grad. I knew at that point I was called to be a minister and a writer.

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 last week I was able to create some new processes that will help with ministry. I am looking forward to getting some good photos after this blizzard.

Time to take a walk on the lighter side of the river bank. My posts lately have been getting pretty deep. God is sharing some really good stuff with me and I love it, but it’s time to come up for some air and a little levity.

So Cee has provided me with just the opportunity with Share Your World Week 2

Look at that folks, we are half way through January already! It’s almost Christmas! 🙂

Here are the five questions that get us closer to next December.

Are you a hugger or a non-hugger?

I am a non-hugger who has been culturally conditioned to hug. In my family we generally observed a two foot rule…no hugging, no kissing, no touching unless it was a Gibbs slap (NCIS reference there couldn’t resist) but you cannot have long exposure to church culture even in New England and not be involved in the occasional hug.

What’s your favorite ice-cream flavor?

I love raspberry mocha, or orange pineapple, or Cherry Garcia, or black raspberry chocolate chip, or Moose tracks or spumoni or rainbow sherbert or chunky monkey or rum raisin or chocolate cherry chunk or…….

Do you prefer exercising your mind or your body? How frequently do you do either?

I prefer exercising my mind. I have succeeded in establishing a fairly rigid reading and writing regimen to keep the old conker sharp. However, I am trying to establish a physical exercise regimen and I hope by the end of the year to be fairly scheduled in that as well.

Are you more of a dog person or a cat person? Why?

I love little dogs and cats. I like something that can sit on my lap and truthfully big dogs kinda’ freak me out.

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 for a very successful Special Touch chapter meeting last Saturday.  This week I am looking forward to having some extra time to pray, study and write.

Here are this week’s New Year questions!

How do you get rid of pesky phone calls from telemarketers?

This might seem rude but if a person doesn’t respond the first time I say “hello” I just hang up.

What are you a “natural” at doing?

I am a natural musician. I would love to be a natural painter. I love watching the artists at C.cada who can just lay brush to canvas and make it look like something in the real world. I lay brush to canvas and end up with “splat”! So I just sing as I take photographs.

“Play to your strengths.” I always say.

How often do you get a haircut?

Once every eight weeks and boy that is way too long between trims. When I go to the barber it’s kind of like the spring shearing. Maybe closer attention to the barbering schedule should be a New Year’s resolution.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “fun”?

Dinner and the movies. I am not the funnest (most fun) guy in the world or so I have been told.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am really grateful I got to take my son-in-law and Daughter out to celebrate my son-in-law’s birthday. This week I am looking forward to our lead pastor coming back from vacation!
