Share Your World (SYW) is all about having a safe place for everyone to answer random questions that I post each week.  Here is the basic format.  I will ask you:

• To answer three random questions each week.
• Respond to a fourth item (I will randomly chose from this list)
  • Making a List out of a topic
  • Completing the sentence I start
  • Answering a Would you Rather question
• Bonus Question is always the same  “What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?”  Because we all need to be reminded that there are many things in our lives to be grateful about.  

In the past I’ve written columns like this in newsletters for various companies and organizations.  And it was everyone’s favorite part of the newsletter.  Since blogging is an international activity, I also thought this would be a great way for all of us to get to know each other.  Share things about you, your home, your town, your country, your traditions.   So once a week, I’ll post four new questions for you to answer about yourself or the area in the world you live.

I’m definitely a glass half full type of person, so all the questions will be upbeat, non-political and hopefully fun for all.

If you adore challenges as much as I do, please check out WordPress’s Blog Event Listing for other challenges.

Here are this week’s sharing questions:

A class you wish you would have taken?

I wish I would have taken more language classes. I love languages.

What’s your favorite comic figure and why?

Oh boy! This is a hard one. I was a comic book freak as a kid.

How about I pick one male and one female character?

I always liked Dr. Fate

And oh let’s see…Saturn Girl

Name something you wish you could like.

Skiing. Fishing. Bungi jumping.

Tell me about your first crush / first date / first kiss.

My first date was in the eighth grade. Her name was Raelyn and we went to the 8th grade prom together. It took me weeks to get up the nerve to ask her. About a half hour into the dance I went to get her some punch while she was dancing in a group on the floor. Someone near her was spinning around and punched her in the face breaking her nose. End of date.

Who was your best friend when you were 10?

I did not have a best friend when I was ten. We had moved across town and I had changed schools. I wasn’t a popular kid and so I spent a few years on the edges of school society feeling pretty alone.

What sign are you? Do you believe in astrology?

I am a Sagittarius . I do believe in astrology. I believe in most magic. That doesn’t mean I believe it is good. Just because something is real, just because something works does not mean it is necessarily something that is good for us. Astrology is one of those very real very not good things we are warned by the Bible to stay away from.

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 have had the opportunity to present the C.cada program and the Ingleside Project at our Network worship conference in Mendon MA last week. This week I am looking forward to a bit of a quieter week.
