Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.
13 Then I will teach your ways to rebels,
and they will return to you.
14 Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves;
then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness.
15 Unseal my lips, O Lord,
that my mouth may praise you. Psalm 51:12-15

Good afternoon friends! Before I head out to do the grocery shopping for the week, I am going to take a few moments to SHARE MY WORLD. This is the challenge where I answer five questions posted by my friend Cee. A bunch of us across the blogoshpere do the same and in so doing we share our worlds.
You can see a wider view of the world by clicking on the underlined link above. Here are the weekly questions and my answers:
Would you rather live where it is always hot or always cold?
If I had to choose, I would rather live where it is always hot. Cold makes my bones ache. That said I really do appreciate the seasons here in New England.
Do you prefer long hair or short hair for yourself?
Short hair. It is getting shorter and sparser every year. Maybe that’s not a preference…just an acceptance of reality.
What is your favorite month of the year?
I love June. The black flies have mostly baked away and it just feels like a time of beginnings.
What is the easiest way for your to learn something new? By reading, by seeing and doing, in a classroom?
I like to learn by reading and by listening to lecture and conversing in a group.
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am grateful to God for the interim Pastor He has chosen to shepherd our little flock. Rev. Tim Moen is an old friend of mine. It will be nice working with him again even if only for the briefest of seasons. I am looking forward to the refreshing conference I am heading to tomorrow.
