To the artist is sometimes granted a sudden, transient insight which serves in this matter for experience. A flash, and where previously the brain held a dead fact, the soul grasps a living truth! At moments we are all artists. Arnold Bennett

Lord, what are human beings that you care for them,
mere mortals that you think of them?
4They are like a breath;
their days are like a fleeting shadow. Psalm 144:3,4

I love order. I just like to arrange it to look like chaos.- JE Lillie

There are few things more chaotically ordered than nature.- JE Lillie

There is something so orderly about a room crammed with books don’t you think?

Share Your World May 29,2017

I missed last week’s Share Your World. Honestly I missed almost an entire week of blogging. I was away at our fellowship’s Southern New England Conference and then three funerals in quick succession kept me and the staff here at Cornerstone pretty busy. Finally the weekend was given to our Lead Pastor and his wife’s final services with Cornerstone Church. Sunday morning we finished together as a congregation, one last time, on our knees before the Lord thanking God for these shepherds He sent among us for fifteen years.

Now I am back. Tomorrow I will lead our staff meeting as we await the arrival of our interim pastor. before I do that I am turning my gaze to….

SHARE YOUR WORLD.

You can click the underlined link to see how Share Your World works. It is an awesome focusing challenge that is based around five simple weekly questions.

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:

What is the most famous landmark or building you have ever seen?

Oh my that is a tough question. I have been privileged to go so many places and see so many wonderful things. Here are a few…

 

Do you like long vacation or lots of mini-vacations?

I once took a three week vacation. I missed home and work even though I had a wonderful time. I like shorter breakaways but also know that if I am travelling far I need to factor in rest time for the journey

What is your favorite National or State Park?

I loved Zion though I was only their for a few short hours. I also loved The Grand Canyon.

What is your fantasy vacation?

I so want to take a Viking River Cruise. Although I wouldn’t sniff at an entire week in Killarney or traveling the Ring of Kerry.

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 so grateful to have been a part of the farewell services for our Lead Pastor, Barry Risto and his wife Pastor Deb Risto.
