As for me, I will always have hope;
    I will praise you more and more.

15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,
    of your saving acts all day long—
    though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;
    I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone. Psalm 71: 14-16

How do you build up your hope?

Wow! The fall approaches and here we are SHARING OUR WORLDS WITH CEE ON HER BLOG.

Here are the weekly challenge questions and my answers. When you have finished reading my response why don’t you go over to Cee’s blog and leave a response of your own?

Do you prefer eating foods with nuts or no nuts?

Oh I love nutty foods. I am big fan of Pad Thai. I love green bean almondine. And one onf my favorite coffees is Kona coffee, which has a distinctive nutty flavor.

Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

My closet door does not close all the way so I always sleep with it open a crack

Are you usually late, early, or right on time?

I am usually early. My father used to say “Early is on time, on time is late and late is unacceptable.”

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I am appreciating the work God is doing in our church at the moment.

It is time to participate in one of my favorite challenges here on the blogosphere...SHARE YOUR WORLD.

Every week the host of Share Your World offers up a few questions and in answering them we share little bits of our world with each other.

Here are the questions and my answers.

Which tastes better: black or green olives?

I like green olives myself, but I am the only one in the family who likes olives period, so I don;t have them often.

What’s your favorite room in your home?

I like my prayer room. Everyone else calls it the work room.

 

What fictional family would you be a member of?

Oh dear! This is a hard one?

My Big Fat Greek Wedding Maybe?

Nope the family is too big and too much in each other’s business.

Vicar of Dibley Maybe?

Not as crass or crazy. So that’s not it.

Well it looks like Cee is back from vacation! I hope you had a good time Cee. It is time to share our worlds with her again. So here are her questions for the week and my answers.

If you would like to know more about the Share Your World Challenge. You can find out about that

Here

A class you wish you would have taken?

Oh my there are so many classes I wish I had taken…more I wish I had paid greater attention in. One class I wish I would have taken now is guitar 101. It is getting really hard to lug around a piano to concerts.

Are you scared of heights?

A bit. I was sort of put out of sorts when I walked the steps to the top of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft. The parapets were so narrow and the wind was so high I kept feeling like I was going to be lifted off the building into midair.

Are you a good cook? If so, do you consider yourself a chef?

I am a passable cook. I do not consider myself a chef by any stretch of the imagination. I have a few dishes which are a little better than OK. Everyone at the church seems to like my meatballs (which are frozen and covered with canned sauce but ssshhhh. don’t tell anyone).

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I have been enjoying reading Susan Howatch’s book GLAMOROUS POWERS. I find her character, Father Jonathan Darrow fascinating.
