Share Your World Dec. 10, 2018
It is time once again to SHARE OUR WORLDS! We all do this by answering the weekly share questions posed by our hostess Melanie and then linking back to her site to join the sharing community.
What’s the worst topping you could put on popcorn? (credit to Teresa for this one)
I don’t know about the worst topping but I can tell you I do like pop corn mixed with Good-N-Plenty which I thought would be weird but discovered was actually quite good.
In what country did Silent Night originate?
Germany, Stille Nacht
(WARNING! The following question is NOT meant to start a fuss. It’s merely a good discussion question in my opinion. Most everyone knows where I stand on this. If you feel like arguing about it, please give it a pass.) We’re all adults and sensible ones at that. We can be mature about such things, right?
How would you react if there was irrefutable proof that God doesn’t exist? How about if there was irrefutable proof that God does exist?
Well if God didn’t exist and all this was really just an accident I would probably enjoy this whatever it is to the best of my ability realizing there was nothing beyond. If God does exist however then I have to live in light of my understanding of eternity and the fact that this thing I am living now is only one very small part of the existence I have set before me.
And last question:
What is the scariest non banned item you could take on to a plane?
My mother. She hates to ttravel.
Traditions
Which version of the holiday celebration do you and your family enjoy? By this I mean do you follow Jewish traditions with Hanukkah; Christian celebrations with Christmas and (for those over the pond) Boxing Day; or some other festivities that I’ve overlooked? Please do share with everyone! I truly feel that this sort of question lets us know a little more about our fellow bloggers without getting too personal (i.e. revealing too much of private lives, which some folks prefer to keep private.)
I really enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas morning church service.

Sacred Sunday 12-2-18
Mid Afternoon Meditation 12-1-18
If I had spoken out like that,
I would have betrayed your children.
16 When I tried to understand all this,
it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary of God;
then I understood their final destiny.
18 Surely you place them on slippery ground;
you cast them down to ruin.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed,
completely swept away by terrors!
20 They are like a dream when one awakes;
when you arise, Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.
21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
27 Those who are far from you will perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds. Psalm 73:15-28
What is the key to knowing how close you are to God?

Share Your World 11-26-18
I didn’t get to Share My World last week. I got overly busy and missed out on one of my favorite challenges in the blogosphere.
This week is my birthday week so I am giving myself a little kindness and am making sure I share this week.
Here are Melanie’s weekly sharing questions. When you have finished reading my responses please click the underlined link and shoot over to Melanie’s place at Sparks From a Combustible Mind and read what her other contributors have written.
QUESTIONS:
If your five year old self woke up in your current body, what would happen, what would you say?
My five year old self would say “Wow you are fat! And apparently wicked smart!”
What is a relationship deal breaker for you? Whether you are talking about a romantic one, a friendship or a related to sort of relationship?
The bar has to be set differently for every relationship as do the boundaries. The respect for the boundaries of each relationship determine my willingness to maintain the relationship in its current context. Disrespect the boundaries one too many times and you may find yourself placed in a whole new relationship box.
Is there something out there, a thought, an idea, a current event, or a fear that you find deeply unsettling?
I found this whole video deeply unsettling. We face so many questions as a culture that I wonder if we even have the right to ask. Further there are so many things going on that echo the biblical signs of the end that I cannot help but be a little unsettled by the nearness of it all.
And one that is a bit whimsical:
I need more whimsy in my life. Right now everything seems so serious. Oh wait! I know!
If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done?
Preached without a license.
Finally
What were you grateful for this week? Something that brought some joy into your world?
It was my birthday!
