Ooooooo this week’s challenge from Cee should be a bunch of fun! She has asked us to have fun with LIGHT AND DARK. Click the link to see how others interpreted it.
Here are my thoughts:
Are the dark clouds pushing out the light or is the light pushing out the dark? The American flag tells us.
This week the Daily post has asked us to close out the old year by showing the world an example of RESILIENCE.
Here are my examples of resilient things
Rocky was a pretty resilient guy. Come to think of it so were the movies. What are we on now Rocky 42?
New England winters are resilient. Summer comes but winter claims its season year after year. Of course that means…
New Englanders need to be resilient.
Or maybe just straight up crazy.
But of all the resilient things in the world, the thing which I think is the most resilient is
the kingdom of God.
Its founder was killed.
Rock of ages
He rose again.
Its people were persecuted.
Yet the kingdom grew.
At the end of time through the worst of tribulations, though Satan himself shall rise and fall and rise again, the kingdom of God shall endure. When all else fades and is undone that kingdom alone among all the kingdoms of Earth shall remain into eternity.

Now here is how other contributors saw the subject of resilience
My goal this week is to participate in every single challenge I used to participate in. So today I am taking up CEE’S WHICH WAY CHALLENGE.
Today we are awaiting the season’s first genuine Nor’ Easter. We might get up to a foot of new snow. In honor of that eventuality here are some snowy paths.
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

Rock of ages
Solid as a rock
Rocky
A Rocky Path
Paper
Scissors
You can play dead.
Me after twenty chili’s
Well I’m not walking but at least I am in a park!
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?

With Thanksgiving over and Black Friday beyond us here in the States I am thinking now of Christmas. While I think most of you who know me already know what my answer will be to this week’s question I just have to take up The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge and say
Christmas Service! I especially love this time of year because it’s still a tradition for many people to go to church and Christmas is all about Christ (it still bears His name after all) and the way to celebrate, is to go and give Him thanks for coming to Earth.
I love Christmas Eve candlelight service!
And I especially love it when Christmas falls on a Sunday!

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. John 3:17, 18

I know many people will disagree with me but it’s just not Christmas without a church service!
