This week the Daily Post has challenged us to photograph ORDER.
You can click the link above to see how the rest of the blogosphere has ordered itself. Or you can find individual blogs to check out below. Here are my thoughts on order…
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?
This week Cee is asking us to HAVE FUN WITH THE HOT AND COLD THEME.
Here are my offerings.
Brr. Chilly!
Oh I’m melting!
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….
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.
This week I am grateful to be moving forward into what God has for us next at Cornerstone as our interim youth and interim lead pastor come in.

HERE ARE MINE:
This week marks my seventh anniversary as a blogger! It seems like just yesterday that I was embarking on this journey of relationships. really I feel like I have not yet learned how to do it right. But I am growing everyday through intentional application. Cee has been with me for most of this journey and her challenges have kept me coming back to the writing desk and the relational world that blogging is. Thank you Cee.
Share Your World was one of the first challenges I joined as a new blogger and answering Cee’s questions through the years has been a great joy. Sharing my world through the five questions and your reactions to my answers has been a great boon to my life as a blogger. Thank you readers. Now here for my seventh anniversary I am answering another set of Cee’s questions. You can see how all Cee’s contributors answered the questions by clicking HERE.
Here are the questions and my answers:
How many languages do you you speak?
Can we count the heavenly language that Pentecostals speak?
If so then at least two. If not then one and half like this guy.
What are you reading, watching, listening to, eating?
Reading: Rhythms of Rest by Shelly Miller
Watching: Once Upon A time
Listening To: Nathan Pacheco, Don’t Cry
Eating: Hershey’s Mini candy bars
What was the last photo you took with your phone?
What is your favorite time of day?
I love walking my dogs at 4 A.M. It is so quiet. Today on my walk I listened to this song.
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 for our successful outreach to Lifeskills last week. I am looking forward to the first visit of our interim pastor, Tim Moen, this Sunday.

This week’s Fun Foto Challenge With Cee is about the Sky.
You can see lots of skies with Cee by clicking the link above. My sky photos are below along with a few quotes I like about the sky.
I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more. Anne Frank
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement. Marcus Garvey
