Crayons and Crocodiles

share-your-world2 My answers to Cee’s questions this week are brought to you by the color Green.

Here are the questions and my answers:

 

Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?  

 

I’m with Larry Norman on this one.  “And if there’s life on other planets, then I’m sure that he must know. And he’s been there once already, and has died to save their souls.” Now if you asked “do you believe in little green men?” I would simply reply “But of course I am one.” 100_3052 What type of pet or pets do not want to have?

I think a crocodile or a green alligator would be not nice.

 

 

The song is a tribute to the new movie Noah (which is just fun if you accept that this newest Hollywood version is the total SCYFY version and undeniably non-biblical)

If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Green of course.

What type of transportation would you be? Why? I think I would really like a green (meaning eco-friendly) car.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? I am thankful for all the friends who showed up this weekend to help an elderly couple in our church move. I am looking forward to all those who will show up this week to help us move another elderly lady (how’s that for faith?).

I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it… I always want to see the third dimension of something… I want to come alive with the object.

A Steaming Cup Of Bliss

Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it’s hard to go back to sleep.

The first thing I think about when I think about bliss is Jesus. I have found my peace, my rest and my joy in Him. I enjoy life because He has made it eternal for me; But now if you ask me aside from worshipping Christ what in life makes me feel blissful it is coffee. Everyone who knows Pastor Wrinkles knows he loves his coffee! When I visit with friends it always involves a cup o’Joe. In fact I have even told people that when we all get to Heaven they should look me up and we will share coffee together in my mansion.

When I travel I love to relax with a cup of coffee.

Don’t I look rested here?

Oh, I like a hotel with a nice pool and a hot tub to unwind in.

But if I can’t have that a steaming cup of bliss will relax me anyway.

So What Qualifies As Pink?

Posted on by under Photography

As I started to compile  photos for this week’s travel theme from Ailsa which is: Pink

I came a cross a bunch of photos which I labeled “pink” but as I looked at them I had to ask myself, “Are these pics really pink?”

Or are these shudders more of a magenta?

How about this portrait of Queen Beatrix by Andy Warhol which hangs in the Rijks Museum

100_0118Is she pink or more of a lavender with red highlites?

I am praying that what my sister is wearing here is pink but y’know  it just might be salmon.

I used to be confident that the color of our sanctuary was dusty rose but after this morning’s search I am a little shaky. It just might be pink!

But of one thing I am pretty certain… when the sailors of old looked for a red sky at night I am pretty sure they meant pink.
