Share Your World 2013 Week 39

Posted on by under For Family & Fun

As usual Cee has asked us some very good questions to help the world get to know us all a little better. My own slants on the inquiries are below. To read  how Cee and her groovy gang of sharers have answered go to    http://ceenphotography.com/2013/11/04/share-your-world-2013-week-39/

Now on to the questions!

You are given $5,000 and the chance to exchange it for one of two envelopes. One envelope contains $50,000 and one contains $500. Do you make the trade? Why or why not?

Sure I would make the trade. Either way I win. Even if I got the $500.00 I would look at it as having won  $500.00 not as having lost $5,000.00

Do you believe in the afterlife?  Reincarnation?

I do not believe in reincarnation but I strongly believe in the afterlife which I see as an extension of this life in one of two places (that is an oversimplification but for the space allotted it will have to do). Our individual destinations are determined by putting our faith in Jesus Christ as the only atoning sacrifice for sin. If anyone has any questions come visit me in Lillie-Put. I love having spiritual conversations in my blog country!

🙂

If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?

Oh most definitely a comedy! I think it could be called  A Journey to Lillie-Put or My House On the Corner Of Crazy!

If you had to spend one weekend alone in a single public building or institution, which building would you choose?

I think I would choose to spend the weekend in the Royal Palace in Honolulu Hawaii. I really want to know if they really have that crazy computer they show on Hawaii-Five-O!

😉       I suppose spending a few days on the beach after my weekend stay wouldn’t bring me too much pain either.

share-your-world2Here are some good questions from Cee to help us get to know each other. Be warned this week’s questions may require some deep thinking! Check out Cee’s other supporters at http://www.ceenphotography.com

What were you most likely doing on this day when you were 12 years old?

Since this was in my B.C. days (Before Christ) I was most likely channeling the spirit of some dead person in my neighborhood ( today is Halloween after all). I was kind of a creepy little kid.

If you could write about, paint a picture or photograph any scenery you’ve seen before, what scene would your use?

What a hard question. I have so many scenes running through my head right now. I would probably pick the Grand Canyon from the North Rim.

What is one of your favorite quotes?

Oh boy another humdinger of a question! I love quotes so to narrow this down is nigh unto impossible for me. Let’s see I guess for now I will go with …Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure. Helen Keller

What is your favorite type of dog?  (can be anything from a specific breed, a stuffed animal or character in a movie)

I love my little Maltese dogs! Thanks Cee, for this one easy question!

Today I am posting for a second time in order to get my weekly Cee post in. Things are slowing back to normal a bit but only for a few days ( So I guess that means normal is now the busier pace I have been living for months). This weekend we have our church trunk-or treat outreach and then three days of Pastor’s Retreat in Hyannis where I will probably be away from my computer almost entirely. I will endeavor to get ahead on my posting so that you all can keep reading. You really need to check out Cee’s  friends and their take on these questions at   http://ceenphotography.com/2013/10/21/share-your-world-2013-week-37/  While you are there why don’t you check out Cee’s new website and photography as well!

 

Here are today’s questions and answers:

What is your favorite outdoor activity?

In the spring and summer and early autumn I love to take walks and to pray outdoors. There is something very connective about seeking the Lord out amongst His creation. In the late fall and winter I have no favorite outdoor activities however. I try to stay in as much as possible because the weather during this time of year is truly frigismalwegristusting that is weather that is frigid, dismal, wet, gross and disgusting!

Do you prefer your food separated or mixed together?

I eat a LOT of casseroles. If you can put it in a crock pot or mix it with noodles I am there!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

In spite of the fact that our winters are frigismalwegristusting I would still choose to live in the North East of the United States. Three out of four seasons ain’t bad!

What household chore do you absolutely hate doing?

I am not a big fan of shovelling the snow in the frigismalwegristusting weather.

Hello all! Today is a  holiday in the merry state of Massachusetts. The office is closed and I have been working on projects around the house most of the day (though at a very relaxed pace). I just popped by the office for a few  minutses (I must be channeling Gollum) to blog and to dig out some fabric  for the art show coming up this weekend. Cee’s questions this week seemed pretty relaxed; So before I go I shall endeavor to answer them!

What’s your least favorite mode of transportation?

Far and away my least favorite mode of transportation is dog sled. I have never ridden one but I am pretty sure I would hate it. That would be followed up by my second least favorite mode of transportation…long distance swimming. The swimming thing would only be more tolerable if I was in shark free warm water with super buoyant arm floaties. 🙂

Where do you like to vacation?

I just love to vacation period. Each place I have been has had its own special attraction. I have really enjoyed my visits to the Netherlands though.

Which place do you recommend as a Must-See? Please state which country, state or providence.

Oh there are so many must sees! Delft South Holland, Museum Plein In Amsterdam The Grand Canyon, The Gulf of Mexico, Yellowstone Park,.

How about must- not- sees can I do that instead? If I were to un recommend anyplace it would be Gatlinberg  Tennessee. I would say go to Pigeon Forge but do not climb the mountain pass! Someday I will tell the whole story.

If money was not an issue, would you go on a cruise?  If so where would you go?

Oh sure, I would definitely go on a cruise. I would try to find one that took me to a place where they had bungee jumping! 🙂  Explanation here      http://wp.me/p39vIx-Nq

Hey there! I hope you have enjoyed reading my answers. for more fun with Cee goto http://ceenphotography.com/2013/10/14/share-your-world-2013-week-36/

Lately I have cut down on my writing so that I can get more reading in. I was feeling sort of depleted in the inspiration department and always rushed to get the next post out. So I am taking a new tac on the waters of the blogging ocean. I am trying to focus on things that gain me inspiration even if that means my “productivity” goes down a little.Quality versus quantity is my new motto and who knows maybe some day I will be able to have both!

All that said I love “Share Your World” so much I just have to keep it as part of my writing routine. Check out Cee and her other contributors at http://www.ceephotography.com/2013/10/07/share-your-world-2013-week-35/

Now onto this week’s questions!

Have you ever bungee jumped?  If you haven’t, would you want to?

I never have bungee jumped, but sure I would give it a try (those who know me well are now being given CPR by their closest loved one). I say “Why not bungee? you only live once. ‘For me to live is Christ and to die is gain’ to quote the apostle!”

Where’s the nearest bridge?

For your computer Mac or Windows-based computer?  Desktop, laptop, Pad or other?

I write from a desktop when I use a computer. I find it keeps me centered on the writing. A fixed location is very important for me to concentrate.

If you were instantly able to play one musical instrument perfectly that you never have played before, what would it be?

I think it would be the guitar. I currently have one sitting in my office but finding the time to practice (and the desire to face the pain of building callouses) is the hard part.

Describe yourself in at least four uplifting words.

Humorous, Faith-filled, Patient,  Discrete.

It seems Monday is becoming my “share your world” night. At least that is for the month of September. I am currently waiting for the guest worship team to show up for tonight’s service ( I am the sound tech for the evening…feel sorry for the band) so I have a few moments to  jot down a few thoughts concerning this week’s awesome questions.

Here they are:

If you could live in any OTHER time, when would it be and why?

Oh this is a hard one. Since I intend to live on now for eternity in the glorified body waiting for me before God’s throne. I suppose I do not need to consider any time in the future because I shall live then and I can patiently wait for those days. So as I look to the past I think I would greatly love to live in Jerusalem during the days of Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection, ascension and the beginning of His church. I would like to be one of the first Gentiles to sign on for the trip!

If you were given a yacht today, what would you name it?

The Lillie-Pad of course. A home that floats on the water. 🙂

Tell how you are feeling today in the form of a weather report. (For example, partly cloudy, sunny with a chance for showers, etc.)

I was going to say clear and calm up until about 5 minutes ago. Now we have sudden high winds with the potential of toppling trees.

List at least two things in nature do you find most beautiful?

I love the changing of the seasons and I truly love waterfalls.

While this concludes my answers Cee’s other contributors are chiming in at this very moment at http://www.ceephotography.com/2013/09/23/share-your-world-2013-week-33/ . Go ahead and check them out.
