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.

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.

From birth I have relied on you;
    you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.
    I will ever praise you.
I have become a sign to many;
    you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
    declaring your splendor all day long. Psalm 71: 6-8

What does it mean to “ever praise”?

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
    let me never be put to shame.
In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
    turn your ear to me and save me.
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.
Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
    from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel. Psalm 71:1-5

How do you handle the increase of evil and cruelty in the world?

    for you are my rock and my fortress.
