And why must you know from where I come?

Carmuthen, Aelecti or Demetia’s throne?

An incubus’ child or

A son of a desert mother?

And why must you know from where I come?

The walls still fall.

Don’t they still blame the dragons’ work

On the Devil’s child?

 

And why must you know from where I come?

I am Emrys of the fields.

Ambrosius chained.

Neither madness nor lineage ever speak my choice.

 

And why must you know from where I come?

 We all see dragons white and red.

We all see the boar from Tintagel arise.

We all  master error.We all choose our God.

It is time once again to SHARE OUR WORLDS! We all do this by answering the weekly share questions posed by our hostess Melanie and then linking back to her site to join the sharing community.

What’s the worst topping you could put on popcorn?   (credit to Teresa for this one)

I don’t know about the worst topping but I can tell you I do like pop corn mixed with Good-N-Plenty which I thought would be weird but discovered was actually quite good.

In what country did Silent Night originate?

Germany, Stille Nacht

(WARNING! The following question is NOT meant to start a fuss.  It’s merely a good discussion question in my opinion.  Most everyone knows where I stand on this. If you feel like arguing about it, please give it a pass.) We’re all adults and sensible ones at that.  We can be mature about such things, right?

How would you react if there was irrefutable proof that God doesn’t exist? How about if there was irrefutable proof that God does exist?

Well if God didn’t exist and all this was really just an accident I would probably enjoy this whatever it is to the best of my ability realizing there was nothing beyond. If God does exist however then I have to live in light of my understanding of eternity and the fact that this thing I am living now is only one very small part of the existence I have set before me.

And last question:

What is the scariest non banned item you could take on to a plane?

My mother. She hates to ttravel.

Traditions

Which version of the holiday celebration do you and your family enjoy?  By this I mean do you follow Jewish traditions with Hanukkah; Christian celebrations with Christmas and (for those over the pond) Boxing Day; or some other festivities that I’ve overlooked?   Please do share with everyone!  I truly feel that this sort of question lets us know a little more about our fellow bloggers without getting too personal (i.e. revealing too much of private lives, which some folks prefer to keep private.)

I really enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas morning church service.

Morning Direction From Scripture 12-12-18

100_4930

We are given no signs from God;
    no prophets are left,
    and none of us knows how long this will be.
10 How long will the enemy mock you, God?
    Will the foe revile your name forever?
11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
    Take it from the folds of your garment and destroy them!

12 But God is my King from long ago;
    he brings salvation on the earth.

13 It was you who split open the sea by your power;
    you broke the heads of the monster in the waters.
14 It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan
    and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.
15 It was you who opened up springs and streams;
    you dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
16 The day is yours, and yours also the night;
    you established the sun and moon.
17 It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth;
    you made both summer and winter.

18 Remember how the enemy has mocked you, Lord,
    how foolish people have reviled your name.
19 Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts;
    do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever.
20 Have regard for your covenant,
    because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
21 Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace;
    may the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Rise up, O God, and defend your cause;
    remember how fools mock you all day long.
23 Do not ignore the clamor of your adversaries,
    the uproar of your enemies, which rises continually. Psalm 74:9-23

There is an ever-increasing sense of trouble in our world. Do you have a sense of how long this will last? What signs give you this sense or lack thereof?

Are there voices in the world you feel are still prophetic?
