The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Psalm 33:10-12

What is the counsel of the nations that you see God bringing to nothing?

Fun Foto Challenge Rock Paper Scissors Shoot

So this week Cee has asked us to have fun with the OLD CHILDREN’S GAME ROCK PAPER SCISSORS.  Since I was more into Slapsies as a kid I have no pictures of Rock Paper Scissors ( I always lost when I did play). But here is my symbolic interpretation:

Rock

Click on the images to see just how these pictures rock.

Scissors

I am not always the sharpest pair of scissors in the package as I keep letting myself get photographed like this.

Well that’s my game of rock paper scissors. Why don’t you SHOOT off your thoughts to me?

See what I did there?

Share Your World Week# 49 2016

I have slated some time to put together some challenge posts this week and of course Share Your World has to be part of that space and time. So jump over to CEE’S WEEK 49 AND SEE HOW ALL CEE’S CONTRIBUTORS ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS.

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:

What do you value most in a friendship?

I would have to say it is the willingness to stick it out and not give up on the relationship. I only have a few friends who have not walked away over the years. We may not get together every week or even see eye to eye all the time, but the people who I consider true friends are those who have stuck by my side and not walked away even when they saw me in all my ugliness.

Do you prefer eating the frosting of the cake or the cupcake first?  Do you prefer a specific flavor?

I like frosting! I think butter cream is my favorite.

Have you ever been in a submarine?  If you haven’t, would you want to?

No I have never been in a sub. It does sound kind of like fun.

If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you’d find leading a more satisfying life than yours?

I think I would be in the top 10%. Sometimes my particular road gets a little lonely. Sometimes I feel like my life is a little too big but overall I can say I live a very fulfilling and exciting life which balances out with periods of quiet.

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 be finally getting on top of this sinus cold which has dogged my steps for almost three weeks. I am looking forward to the Cashman’s  concerts at our church this week.
