Share Your World With Melanie Not Cee

Cee Neuner is on vacation for the next few weeks; So Melanie has decided to write a NOT SHARE YOUR WORLD POST for the duration. Here are the “Not sharing your world questions” and my answers. Then you can go to Melanie’s blog and not share your world too!

Have you ever been in a food fight?

Ummm. Yes I have been in the middle of one, but I got out of it as fast as I could. Flying mashed potatoes are not my thing.

How do you deliver bad news?

In my line of work I get to deliver a lot of bad news. Usually I do it with as gentle a hand as I can; then I allow for emotions and grief, and then steer the conversation towards prayer.

What (if anything) do you think is beyond the stars?

I offer these videos as an answer:

What “redneck” (unsophisticated) activity do you like to do?

I like to eat Mac and Cheese with hot dogs cut up in it. On a really special day I might also cut up bologna in it or as my we say it in these here parts “baloney.”

Is there a scary scene from a movie (or book) you viewed a child that still haunts you? 

That horrific scene from Cujo when Donna is bitten!

Share Your World July 23, 2018

It feels like I have been out of circulation forever. I have been on a bit of a vacation and today is my first day back sitting in front of a computer in about a week. So as I come back to the blogosphere I am choosing to post my first blog by answering Cee’s SHARE YOUR WORLD CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK.

Here are Cee’s weekly questions and my answers. When you have finished use the underlined link above and scoot on over to Cee’s blog and see how her other contributors have answered the questions.

In regards to puzzle what’s your choice: jigsaw, crossword, word search, mazes, logic or numeric puzzles, something else, or nothing?

I never do puzzles, but I am sensing that is about to change as I move more and more into a caregiving role for my Mom. I think puzzles are good stimulation for the brain.

List at least five favorite treats and it doesn’t necessarily have to be food.

I love to watch a good sci-fi or fantasy movie.

I love to binge read sci-fi or fantasy series…In fact sometimes I can’t stop until I have read the whole series.

Raisinets

Boston Fruit Slices

New England Clam Chowder on a cold fall day ( with oyster crackers of course)

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

I love small breeds and I have a particular spce in my heart for Maltese.

Morning Direction From Scripture 7-21-18

100_5412

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
    let me never be put to shame.
2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
    turn your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge,
    to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
    for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
    from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel. Psalm 71:1-5

Is there a difference between shame and Holy Spirit conviction? What is it?
