It is time to Share My World Again By Answering Melanie’s Weekly Questions. The Answers of All Her Contributors Can be Found Here!

Here are the questions and my answers:

Is it better to suspect something (bad or hurtful) and not know or to have your worst fears confirmed by sure knowledge?

I am not sure about the answer to this one because usually if I suspect something it gets confirmed one way or the other eventually. I have kind of learned to put the time and revelation of things in God’s hands and to not worry about my suspicions ( usually if I suspect something it proves out). The day I am currently living in has enough good and evil of its own to occupy me. Tomorrow’s good and evil will take care of itself in due course.

What makes you laugh aloud?   Crack up?   Laugh until your sides split?   When was the last time you had a great big belly laugh?

bwahahaha

I laugh a lot. Most of life is pretty funny even the dark spots have their humor if we look hard enough.

Do you suppose Noah had woodpeckers in the ark?  If he did, where did he keep them?   Apologies to the Darwinians in the crowd…this is merely for fun, okay?

Sure there were woodpeckers on the ark. How else would Noah have kept the termite population down?

Why is “Charlie” short for “Charles when they are the same number of letters?

huh

Oh my gosh! I am going to be stuck on that one all day!!! Thanks A lot Melanie!

Thankful, Joyful, Grateful

What  happened in your world this past week that made you feel thankful, joyful or grateful?

We had a wonderful time of prayer last night and this has been a week of much concerted prayer. I am feeling especially centered even as the winds of the world blow hard around me.

 

 

The Important Noise Called Silence Pt. 2

100_1828

 

“We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.”

The Important Noise Called Silence

“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven’t the answer to a question you’ve been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you’re alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
