Cee is changing things up a bit this week. Instead of giving us four short essay questions she is handing us 10…count’em 10… “would you rather” questions; And here they are!

WOULD YOU RATHER:

1. Always have the sun in your eyes, while driving no matter where you go -OR-have to use your heater, full blast, in the summer and AC, full blast in the winter (also while driving)?                                                                                                                      This is not even a contest. Who wants to use heat in the summer and AC in the winter? I am not a big AC guy even in the summer, but I desparately need my heat in the winter. My toes, and my nose are the weakest parts of my body and once they are frozen it takes me weeks to warm up. I choose the sun in my eyes!
2. Be able to go forward in time on 3 different occasions in your life – OR- go back in time once?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            This is a really good question! Since I am pretty sure that I could not change my past even if I went back into it, I think it’s best if I let the past just fade into gray. Going into the future though, now there lie some interesting considerations. I think the future is a little more fluid than the past and perhaps by knowing I might be able to better inform the choices I make today. So I choose to go forward into the future!
   
3. Be considered annoying -OR- boring?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Boring is seldom effective in any circles. At least annoying has the potential of getting something done. Annoying it is!
   
4. Be the last-ranked person in an accelerated high school class -OR- the first-ranked person in a decelerated high school class?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Being the least of the best is better than being the best of the worst, I guess. So last in an accelerated class is my choice.
5. Drive 100 miles on a freeway with speed bumps every ½ mile -OR- drive 100 miles on a freeway that is completely covered with those little reflective lane dividers?                                                                                                                                                   I choose the little reflectors. At least they can be avoided.
6. Find out the house you just bought sits on top of an earthquake fault -OR- an top of an old burial ground?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Since I fear earthquakes far more than the departed I would choose the burial ground. Still I think it would be terrible to find out after the fact.
7. Have an itch in the middle of your back at all times -OR- an eyelash in your eye all the time?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      I am an eye freak. I hate having anything in my eye. An itch I could handle… an eyelash in my eye …I think I would probably have to be committed.
8. Have your picture be on the one dollar bill – OR – on the cover of every magazine and newspaper once?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            As long as the reason I am on the magazine covers is positive (like I saved the world or something) I would choose that.
9. Never again be able to make a right-had turn while driving -OR- never again be able to go more than 3 blocks straight in a row while driving in your town?                                                                                                                                                                Oh! I have actually had this one happen to me!The downtown section of one of the cities I lived in became all one way for about 10 years You could only turn left! REALLY ANNOYING!!! Now, since most of the Massachusetts road system is built on a twisty curve idea (no North/ South/ East West grids in this state) I lost the ability to drive straight for more than a half mile long ago anyway; I embrace the 3 blocks idea. 
10. See everything in slow-motion -OR- see everything at double speed?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I think once I got used to seeing in slow motion and stopped anticipating everything I would enjoy it more than double speed. I know at my current pace there is much I am missing along the way.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Here is the link to discover what Cee’s other subscriber’s  said in regards to these very fine questions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     http://ceenphotography.com/2013/12/09/share-your-world-2013-week-44-would-you-rather/                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Oh boy! This week’s Share Your World quiz has some really challenging questions. I had to put on my extra heavy duty thinking cap for this one.  that’s not me wearing the hat but you get the idea!

Take a gander at how Cee and her other subscribers answered these question by going to     http://ceenphotography.com/2013/11/18/share-your-world-2013-week-41/

Now on to the questions!

If you could have three wishes granted, what would they be?

If I could have three wishes granted they would probably all be tied to the same desire:

1. That I would be graced with the ability to convince everyone I meet with the truth that Jesus Christ is God and that the only way to Heaven is through His forgiveness of sin.

2. That everyone in my sphere of influence would come to KNOW Jesus as personal Lord and Savior of their lives to the end that they would all be granted eternal life.

3. That I would have unlimited resources to equip others to influence their bits of the world for Jesus Christ.

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 wouldn’t cheat. Tests have always been more of a game for me. While the rest of the world uses them as a bench mark to place people in some sort of hierarchy I have viewed them only as a  gauge of what I still have the opportunity to learn.

If you were invisible, where would you go?

I would probably stay home. Invisibility would make people more prone to say things they wouldn’t say when  I am around. I am not sure I really want to know what other people are thinking of me however valuable that might be.

Is life what you expected as a child?

Absolutely not! Life is for the most part far better than I ever dreamed as a child. While I have known some really deep pain, God has been with me every step of the way and much more magic lies ahead than has gone behind!

Great day in the mornin! These are some great question from Cee this week. I hope you will avail yourself of her other contributors at   http://ceenphotography.com/2013/11/11/share-your-world-2013-week-40/

Now on to the weekly queries:

Do you plan out things usually or do you do them more spontaneous (for example if you are visiting a big city you don’t know)?

I hardly ever do anything unplanned unless it’s to spontaneously skip something I had planned to do a week ago. It never use to be that way. Five years ago I didn’t even know what a planner was and then ministry started getting really busy and suddenly I started missing things I was supposed to be doing.  My scheduler keeps me and the congregants I work with sane.

Do you play video/computer game? Which one(s) or most recent? 

The most recent video game I played was pong in 1982.

In a car would you rather drive or ride?

I would rather ride! At least I think I would rather ride. It has been so long since I sat in the passenger’s seat I am not really sure anymore.

Since adolescence, in what three-year period do you feel you experienced the most personal growth and change?

These last three years have been rife with change. Nothing is the same as it was three years ago. Growth occurred by default but isn’t that usually how growth works?
